DAMATURU, Nigeria (Reuters) - Suspected Islamist militants stormed a college in northeastern Nigeria and shot dead around 40 male students, some of them while they slept early on Sunday, witnesses said.The gunmen, thought to be members of rebel sect Boko Haram, attacked one hostel, took some students outside before killing them and shot others trying to flee, people at the scene told Reuters.
Boko Haram, which wants to establish an Islamic state in northern Nigeria, has intensified attacks on civilians in recent weeks in revenge for a military offensive against its insurgency.
Several schools, seen as the focus of Western-style education and culture, have been targeted.

Horrific, tragic, and heart breaking.Islamists did this. This is why we can't sit back and simply allow them to pick the time and place to attack us. We must destroy them before they destroy us.
When are you people going to recognized the fact that the Islamist are at war with all of us civilized people. Civilization needs to eradicate this threat.[/FONT][/COLOR]
We shut down AQ's new Twitter account. That'll teach 'em.Horrific, tragic, and heart breaking.
By invading Iraq, Bush "awakened a sleeping giant and filled him terrible resolve". I don't think military attacks are going to solve anything, in fact it seems to just recruit more terrorists. So how do propose "eradicating the threat"?

You actually think that invading Iraq has something to do with the Islamic threat in Nigeria? That's one big huge red herring.Horrific, tragic, and heart breaking.

Do you read in the paper daily about christian Americans butchering kids anywhere? NO. But ever day some Islamic is butchering non-islamics. So this is another ot red herring.Do christian americans who butcher kids in schools also considered a part of the civilized people by you?
The dead probably don't appreciate the fact that it's not all Muslims. It's enough.It was Bush's fault...
:lamo
Good thing no fundamental Islamist extremists were butchering people before Bush became president. That would make anyone that blamed Bush for this look horribly stupid. Well...MORE stupid.
But dont worry...its not ALL muslims.

Actually I read about Americans gunning down kids in a killing frenzy more often than any other people.

IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!! But for Bush, they'd all be nice people? Blaming everything on Bush has worn thin. :roll:
Iran became Obama's war. Do did Afghanistan. So did Libya. So has it for all the other Muslim countries Obama has drone bombed.
That would lead to an error caused by the availability heuristic. The bias is caused by the frenzy of American media reports on shootings here. Shootings that, when occuring in other parts of the world, recieve less coverage. Just because you read about it more, doesn't mean it happens more often.
We are talking about massacres not "shooting here, shootings that". European media don't cover massacres?

Right....... Because this stuff wasn't going on before Iraq..... Give me a break! :roll:
Thats true, it's been going on ever since the US got involved in the ME. But never have so many joined the ranks of Al Qaeda since GWBush invaded Iraq.
