Bomb blast in Nigeria kills at least 21

No one has taken credit for this yet so shall we play a guessing game about which religion the culprits follow?

I'll go first: I guess Jainism.

I think I'm going to win this.

[andy at handiwork]

Jainism is a religion that follows a path of absolute non-violence towards all living things, so I doubt if they were responsible.

[Arginald Valleywater]

Errrrrr Islam........as a wild guess....

[Sam Slater]

Yep........that's my point, Andy.

A real religion of peace.

[Sam Slater]

No way. I really think I've won this one, sucker.

Have Muslims got to exterminating 6 million yet?



Now you can argue that Hitler was an atheist but Nazi Germany was an overwhelmingly Christian country and the majority of the Nazi party were Christians. And the target of their extermination was mainly but not exclusively religious in its selection process i.e. the Jews. Whichever way you look at it, they weren't Muslims.

And while we are on the subject of Africa, are the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, Muslim? I don't think so. And isn't the main problem in the Central African Republic at the moment, the attacks from Christian militia?

So what do we learn from this? That terrorism is not a Muslim prerogative, more like terrorism is the prerogative of the evil, the criminal and the misguided. Listen to Tony Blair, he majors on the misguided, messianic version.

Apologies for demeaning the memory of Hitler. He never got put on trial so none of his invasions could have been illegal, could they, Sam?

As for Putin and the Crimea, he couldn't have done anything illegal because he hasn't been put on trial.

[Sam Slater]

Seems David doesn't want to take a guess.

His loss. It's not like I'm charging to take part.

Dunno. Were they Catholics? I hate terrorism not the religion the terrorists may or may not follow. Not all religious nuts are terrorists. Terrorists are a very small minority and always have been.

[cockneygeezer2009]

I'll take that back and have another wild guess. Christians from the Blairist and Bushist sect.
