Brave...even scary words, from an Anglican?
The situation in Nigeria is growing worse, and read this statement from the Christian Association of Nigeria, headed by an Anglican Archbishop.
A couple of things to note: the statement implies that the violence and persecution has been on ongoing problem and has only intensified over the cartoon incident. It is also profoundly brave for this Archbishop and his organization to point out the notion that there is an organized effort to Islamicize Nigeria and that the government is not doing anything about previous and ongoing persecution of Christians. Also note the not terribly veiled threat for a violent backlash that has been brewing for sometime. (And has apparently now come to roost).
Of course, the media will cover this as your run of the mill everyday sectarian violence in which religion in general is to blame for people's inability to live together while ignorantly ignoring (hehehe) what has happend in preceeding months, years, decades, or centuries.

But standing up to Islamists who surround you is bravery only seen in future martyrs.
