Nigeria (AP) - Rioters stabbed pedestrians and torched churches during violent demonstrations.... The Red Cross said more than 50 people died and 200 were wounded.

Shehu Sani of the Kaduna-based Civil Rights Congress said he watched a crowd stab one young man, then force a tire filled with gasoline around his neck and burn him alive.

...The latest demonstrations began Wednesday with the burning of an office of ThisDay newspaper in Kaduna after it published the article questioned the reasoning of Muslim groups that have condemned the Miss World pageant to be held Dec. 7 in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. Muslim groups say the pageant promotes sexual promiscuity and indecency.

Gods afuckingbove.

More quote:
...hordes of young men, shouting "Allahu Akhbar," or "God is great,"... Others were heard chanting, "Down with beauty" and "Miss World is sin."

What in the hell is wrong with people. You don't agree with them, so you burn them alive while chanting how good god is. Dammit.

This method of execution is actually quite common in many places around the world; it's popular in Columbia too!
