Hundreds of people are reported to have been killed during religious clashes in the central Nigerian town of Jos.

A Muslim charity says it collected more than 300 bodies, and fatalities are also expected from other ethnic groups, mainly Christians.

Clashes broke out after a disputed local election on Friday which has divided the town on social fault lines.

5. I Repeat,

I will repeat,God and Religion is going to destroy us all,and looks like it is getting closer to our ultimate demise,sooner rather than later.
Christians and Muslims are making sure they kill as many of each other as possible,and the crazy Judaics are hell bent on triggering their Rapture/Armageddon chomping at the bit to attack Iran.

Jim Jones showed the way how people brainwashed and overdosed on the lord is likely to do anything.
