KADUNA, Nigeria, (Reuters) -- Rampaging youths looted shops and lit bonfires in the northern Nigerian city of Kaduna as Muslim anger over the country staging the Miss World pageant spread on Thursday, witnesses said.



Armed police fought street battles with rioters, firing volleys of teargas as unrest spilled into the central district of the city where thousands died in sectarian riots in 2000. No deaths have been reported so far this time.



"The protesters made bonfires on major highways. They broke into shops and destroyed more than 15 vehicles," a resident told Reuters by telephone.



A worker at a newspaper office in the city said: "The fundamentalists burned two hotels. They then attempted to burn our office, and we had to jump the fence of the building and hide in the house of a Muslim neighbour."



Rioting flared on Wednesday, initially over a newspaper report linking the name of the Prophet Mohammad to the pageant. But it quickly turned into a general protest against the December 7 event in the nearby national capital, Abuja.



Irate youths armed with stones and clubs on Wednesday burned the Kaduna office of This Day, a leading independent daily which carried a report on Saturday that triggered the unrest.



The story on Muslim protests over the staging of the pageant in Nigeria included a line that said the Prophet Mohammad would have married one of the beauty queens.

Very interesting how a crowd can yell "God is great", all while they are stabing and burning people with gasoline necklaces. It all makes me sick. As a once great band named one of there albums, I say... Kill em all!

Don't confuse the God of the Bible (who definitely wasn't responsible for the purely politically motivated Crusades BTW) with Allah, who was nothing more than the chief pagan diety of Mohammed's tribe before Mohammed started receiving his "revelations."



Very common error these days even among Christians unfortunately.



But I agree that religion has been the cause of vast amounts of bloodshed.
