Anti-Charlie Hebdo Riots Kill 10 In Niger As Scores Of Christian Churches Are Put On Fire



The Guardian: Niger rioters torch churches and attack French firms in Charlie Hebdo protest

At lease five killed as armed protesters angered by cartoon of prophet Muhammad go on rampage in capital

WNU Editor: It took a few days, but many predominantly Muslim countries are now participating in mass demonstrations against the Charlie Hebdo cartoons .... and in the case of Niger .... into violence. The riots and violence in Niger are deeply troubling because part of the country borders on the Nigerian side where Boko Haram operates. It will not take much for that brand of radical Islam to spillover into Niger.

What's ironic about this, is that Charlie Hebdo is a far-left atheistic publisher that has, arguably, spent more time insulting Christian leaders than Islamic ones.

Only thing that Charlie Hebdo has accomplished, is showing the world that Islam is not a peaceful religion...
