Referring to the northern most state of Nigeria where over 200 people were killed in rioting over a newspaper article suggesting that Mohammed might have wanted to marry one of the Miss World contestants:
"Zamfara was the first of 12 states to adopt Islamic law, or Shariah, after Nigerian military rule gave way to elected government in 1999. Religious clashes since then have killed thousands across the country."
Zamfara's Governor has issued a Fatwa against the offending columnist. Her options are to convert to Islam or be murdered.
Maybe Nigeria should back to a military dictatorship.
