Has a jihad begun in Nigeria? The buried lede in this Washington Times story on the Catholicism and Islam in Nigeria is that Nigerian newspapers have been abuzz with reports that a jihad is being prepared in the North. A Taliban-like group is already active, and 400 men claiming to be under Osama bin Laden’s orders attacked a Christian village in broad daylight, slaughtering worshippers in a church and committing other atrocities. America’s former ambassador to Nigeria thinks the country has become Al Qaeda’s new Afghanistan.

This sort of story is nothing new. There has been violence both Islam/Christian and tribal conflict for decades. Bear in mind that the Islamic north has one serious incentive to behave, the oil and the coast is south. They have lot’s of sand. I have know two priest living there, so I hope and pray there is nothing to it, though. Even an old story may some day come to fruition.
