   Muslim Herdsmen kill 100 Christians in a

   (Reuters) - Gunmen shot, hacked and burned to death at least 100   
   people and razed homes in central Nigeria, a region riven by   
   disputes over land, religion and ethnicity, local officials and   
   witnesses said on Sunday.   
      
   Police confirmed the raids by Fulani herdsman at around 11 p.m.   
   on Friday on three villages in Kaduna state, but declined to   
   give a death toll.   
      
   Hundreds have been killed in the past year in clashes pitting   
   the cattle-herding and largely Muslim Fulani people against   
   mostly Christian settled communities like the Berom in Nigeria's   
   volatile "Middle Belt", where its mostly Christian south and   
   Muslim north meet.   
      
   "I came back from the market and there were bullets flying all   
   around the village," said Pius Nna, 64, of Ungwan Gata village.   
   He escaped by jumping across an open well and fleeing into the   
   bush.   
      
   "I saw three people running into my house to take refuge. They   
   were macheted to death before my eyes," he said, adding that he   
   saw a Fulani neighbor directing the gunmen where to go.   
      
   The unrest in central Nigeria is not usually linked to the   
   insurgency in the northeast by Boko Haram, an al Qaeda-linked   
   group which wants to impose Islamic law in northern Nigeria.   
      
   However, analysts say there is a risk the insurgents will try to   
   stoke central Nigeria's conflict. Although most of the Islamist   
   sect's attacks are contained further north, it did claim a 2011   
   Christmas Day bomb attack at a church in the central city of Jos.   
      
   "We are still picking bodies out of the bush but so far there   
   are more than 100 killed," said Daniel Anyip, vice chairman of   
   the Kaura local government authority.

   Now if we can just get some pictures of atheist homosexuals and   
   lesbians to these Muslims and immigrate them to America.
