JOS, Nigeria -- The Red Cross says violence between Christians and Muslims in the city of Jos in northern Nigeria has displaced 5,000 people and left 69 others injured.
Jos-based Red Cross official Auwal Muhammad Madobi says rioters burned down churches, mosques and homes during the attacks Sunday. On Monday, police and soldiers manned road blocks and conducted searches on those traveling through the city.
A local police spokesman said the city was calm Monday. He said officials began collecting bodies from the streets and hospitals, but could not say how many were killed in the violence. Witnesses said Sunday night that they saw 10 bodies in a local mosque.
In 2008, two days of religious violence in Jos left more than 300 people dead.

It s very cruelful and sad. Through the christian organisation "Open doors" I heard about the slaughtering of christians on 28th november 2008 (my son s birthday) at Jos area. Now its still escalating. I hope that somebody make those bestial murderers to stop and to repend. Those extreme terror ppl, who did that, they dont deserve to call themselves muslims. They r evil beasts, nothing else. True muslims would not kill other human beeings like that. I pray, that somebody make those fake muslim terrorists and murderers to stop their evil work against christians and other thinkers. I pray, that those cruelful acts will not lead to hatred between true muslims and true christians. Instead putting themselves together to build a better nigeria, those terror fake muslims r hunting after christians and any progress. God, pls beware all the innocent souls from those terrorists.

just take a look at that witness reports , saying he saw about 10 dead body at a local mosque ,that sugest that some muslims were slaughtered there while worshipping, you see its right time now we give the reports as it happen and not as we pleases,islam as a religion does not support nor encourage the killing of fellow human being and muslim are not terrorist , we need to do things with utmost common senses, just look at the topic of the issues in discussion --- christian vs muslim , as if its a foot ball show . we are all bona fide citizen of nigeria and nigeria belongs to us all irrespective of our religious believe
