Rampaging Muslims have killed 10 Christians, injured 61 others, destroyed nine churches and displaced more than 500 people in northern Nigeria, according to eyewitnesses – all because Muslim high school students claimed a Christian student had drawn a cartoon of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad, on the wall of the school’s mosque.
The rampage occurred Sept. 28 in the town of Tudun Wada Dankadai, in Nigeria's northern state of Kano.
According to Compass Direct News, which specializes in reporting on Christian persecution worldwide, there are 1,500 students at the high school, called Government College-Tudun Wada Dankadai, of which only 14 are Christians, and only seven of those actually live on campus. The Christian students at the school insist no one ever saw the alleged cartoon, and furthermore that no one in the tiny minority group of Christians would have dared such a feat, especially during Ramadan.

What a disgrace to Islam. I am embarrassed. What mature Islamic person of faith believes rumors of children and run like pagans to slaughter the innocent and burn Churches that you are obligated to protect the rights of. Surely you know better.

I am ashamed that Imams and knowledgeable Muslim scholars have not chastised and corrected their brothers in Nigeria.

When I think how often I have defended mainstream Islam I am embarrassed by this crime.
