Nigeria’s Ethnic/Religious Violence

I am amazed how we humans can so easily kill one another.  Even in the 21st century we are so barbaric.  Our violence exposes the vileness that exists inside of our hearts.

Consider the five hundred plus people who were killed this weekend in the city of Jos.  Jos is located in the middle belt of Nigeria between the mainly Muslim north of Nigeria and the largely Christian south.

It is reported members of the mainly Christian Berom community were hacked to death with machetes.  Many of the dead are reported to be children, women, and older men who cannot run.
