Jesus, what's going on?

According to CNN.com, a slaughter occurred in Nigeria on March 8th. I did not know what on earth happened there, in fact. However, after reading the news, I found that the situation cannot be explained with the reason of religions difference alone.

The history of Africa is a tragedy itself. In 1888, the delegates of Berlin Conference were determined to scramble for Africa. Most places of Western Africa belonged to France with some exceptions; for example, Nigeria belonged to United Kingdom. After World War II, a lot of colonies were independent. However, political independence does not guarantee prosperity and freedom. On the other hand, due to the selfishness of the Berlin Conference, the border of African countries are a big mess. The borders of African countries were not decided by rivers or mountains or races, but by rulers and pens. Delegates of Berlin Conference took pens and rulers to decide Part A belongs to France, Part B belongs to U.K., Part C belongs to Belgium, Part D belongs to Germany, or something like that. Without a long-term consideration and plan, African people meant nothing but "commercial" to the Europe of the end of 19th century.

With such a tragic history, the racial conflicts in Africa are extremely serious and complicated. Because a racial group may be divided into two different countries, while two different racial groups with animosity may be in one country. Nigeria is a good example.

The conflicts between Muslims and Christians have been many years. If we interpret this slaughter with the perspective of history, we can find that Islam is the traditional religion in Africa, while Christianity is an evidence of the colonial history. Therefore, some aggressive Muslims may think that believeing in Christianity is a deed of betrayal, betraying the traditions, and betraying Allah.

The two religions, in fact, have a lot in common. They all emphasise on peace and kindness. Futhermore, Islam can be considered to be a branch of Christanity. Perhaps it is difficult to ask the two religions to be peaceful from now on; nevertheless, curing the injuries caused by history is the responsibility of modern people, which is testing human beings' intelligence.

At the end, I still have to say I STRONGLY CONDEMN those who accomplish their missions, no matter what the fucking missions are, with violence. Allah or Jesus can never accept those who slaughtered.
