The story is far more nuanced, and in favour of the Muslims in this case. Southern Nigeria is strongly Christian and supported by American Televangelists (Who in turn are backed by the American Government). Southern Nigeria also has all the oil. The Muslim Northern Nigeria is merely reacting to the attack on their culture and takeover of national resources by the Christian South, and their real controllers in the West. Expect a civil war or referendum soon and the division of Nigeria.
By the way, just check out what is happening in Sudan - Exactly the same. Southern Sudan has the oil, and is the target of American Televangelist promoted Christianity. Southern Sudan is holding referendum in Jan 2011, to "free itself from Muslim Sudan's oppression".
Its a matter of time before you see this in India also. Here, the model will be different, it will be "the desire of peaceful protestants for protection from Hindu-muslim conflicts" due to divisions engineered by the very same televangelists. Sensitive areas will include TN and AP, which have oil and gas. Unfortunately GJ, MP and RJ are too mainstream to be targeted by this crowd. Wisdom demands that we stay united and thwart this menace in 2011.

It wasIslamicRadicals who carried out the attack on a army barracks and a church. These guys have lost all their marbles and are desperate for some action to keep themselves in limelight
