IS NIGERIA ON THE BRINK OF A MUSLIM VS. CHRISTIAN CIVIL WAR?

 (The Blaze/AP)– Thick black smoke and flames rose Tuesday from the burning roadblock that cut off a highway linking Nigeria’s mainland to the islands where the oil-rich nation’s wealthy live. The bare-chested young men who live under the bridge said they had had enough.

“This is oligarchy, this is not a democracy!” shouted Danjuma Mohammed, as he stood before the fire holding rocks in his hands. “We are no longer afraid of you! We are ready for war!”

The President’s own words over the weekend were discomforting. “During the civil war, we knew and we could even predict where the enemy was coming from,” President Jonathan said, “but the challenge we have today is more complicated” as quoted by  London’s Telegraph.
