RoP: Down with Beauty

• Views: 837

Attempting to quiet the followers of the Religion of Peace, the Miss World pageant has been moved to London. But Muslims in Nigeria are having too much fun spreading their message of love to stop now: Nigerian Miss World Riots Kill 175.

Emmanuel Ijewere said that violence continued on Sunday, despite a decision on Saturday to move the finale of the pageant from the Nigerian capital Abuja to London.

“The papers are reporting 200 dead, but our estimate would be slightly less than that. We are talking of about 175,” said Ijewere.

About 12,000 people have so far been made homeless and the number of injured in hospital is between 1,100 and 1,200, he said.

The violence began on Wednesday when Muslims reacted angrily to comments on the Miss World beauty pageant in a national newspaper.

Meanwhile, the exhausted beauty queens have arrived in London, a safe harbor far from murderous 12th century religious hatred. Or so they thought.

But there’s no escape from the Religion of Peace.

Some Muslims in Britain also called for the event to be canceled.

“It is wrong that it should happen in Britain, in Nigeria or in any country,” Sajjad Khan, of the Islamic Liberation Party in Britain, told British Broadcasting Corp. radio on Saturday.

“I think the whole idea of having a beauty contest anywhere would be against many forward-thinking people of whatever faith and whatever ideology.”
