The Quran and the Hadith command Muslims to kill, attack and subjugate non-Muslim:
Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. Sura 9:29
O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed is that destination. Sura 9:73
Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. Sura 9:111
Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. Sura 48:29
Sahih Muslim 33- It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay Zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah
Sahih Muslim 30- It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah
Hence it should come as no surprise that Muslims in Nigeria would kill my brethren in the faith as this article shows:
11/07/2011 Nigeria (The Nation)-More attacks are coming, Islamic sect Boko Haram has warned.The warning came as the death toll in last weekend’s attacks hit 150. "We willcontinue attacking Federal Government foundations until security forces stop their excesses on our members and vulnerable civilians," Abdul-Qaqa, a spokesman of the group, said yesterday.
The United States, also yesterday, warned of possible attacks in Abuja. It says Boko Haram targets the majorhotels mainly used by diplomats, politicians and the business elite visiting the capital city. Boko Haram has twice attacked Abuja through suicide bombings at the police headquarters and the United Nations (UN) House. Boko Haram launched co-ordinated attacks in Damaturu and Potiskum in Yobe State as well as Maiduguri in Borno State at the weekend. The death toll increased to 150 yesterday.
...
As bodies piled up in the morgue in Damaturu, a rescue agency official told Agence France-Presse (AFP) the body count stood at 150.
"I was involved in the evacuation of corpses to the morgue. I personally counted 150 bodies," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at the hospital. He said some families had already collected their loved ones for burial, reducing the number to 97 by end of the day. An AFP reporter counted 97 bodies still in the mortuary.
...
An AFP reporter said no office was still standing at the police headquarters which was still smoldering, 24 hours after the attack. Three burnt cars lay in front of the building. A journalist described scenes of chaos and destruction in Damaturu.
...
In a mainly Christian neighbourhood of Damaturu called Jerusalem, six churches were bombed, in addition to a police station.
"A police station and a mechanical workshop of the police were attacked. Six churches in the area were also bombed," said resident Edwin Silas, adding: "The whole city is traumatised."
Police Commissioner Lawal said the police were after the killers. He said: "We are ready for them, we are going to comb every place in the state, until we find and deal with them. Our men are ready." He was quoted by Reuters.
...
The unusually specific warning from the the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria identified possible targets of Boko Haram in Abuja as Transcrop Hilton, Nicon Luxury and Sheraton hotels. The embassy said the attack may come as Nigeria celebrates the Muslim holiday and that its diplomats and staff had been instructed to avoid those hotels.
...
Deputy ForcePublic Relations Officer Yemi Ajayi said there was no cause for alarm as the police have strengthened security around the capital city.
Ajayi said: "I can assure you that we are fully prepared for any eventuality because the security arrangement in place is watertight. We are not leaving anything to chance and we are not taking the threat lightly.
"We have acted on the intelligence report at our disposal and we are assuring the Nigerian people that we are working round the clock to secure lives and property. We are on top of the situation."
Boko Haram also yesterday killed a police inspector in Maiduguri, the sect’s spiritual home. Sect gunmen stopped the officer’s car at gunpoint as he neared a mosque to pray with his family, Police Commissioner Simeon Midenda said.
Gunmen ordered the family away, then shot the Inspector to death, Mr. Midenda said. The sect members later allowed his family to drive the car away, he said. The killing prompted a frank acknowledgment from the police commissioner, whose men remain under siege from constant assassinations by the radical sect.
"Our men who live in the midst of the Boko Haram are not safe," Mr. Midenda said.
The UN Security Council described weekend’s attacks in Damaturu and Maiduguri as "criminal and unjustifiable" and asked members to help Nigerian authorities bring those responsible to justice.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for "an end to all violence in the area", while offering sympathy for the victims.
Pope Benedict XVI also appealed for an end to all violence, saying it only increases problems, sowing hatred and division even among the faithful. He told tourists in St. Peter’s Square that he is following with apprehension the news from Nigeria.
An Associated Press count shows the Boko Haram has killed at least 361 people this year alone. A mass exodus has hit Damaturu, the Yobe state capital following weekend’s bomb attacks. Many people mainly women and children were seeing leaving the state capital yesterday.
Also, unclaimed bodies at the Gen. Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital in Damaturu have started decomposing.
Our correspondent who visited the mogue noticed that some of the bodies that were brought to the hospital were not embalmed. It was also observed that the mortuary lacks the capacity to contend the situation. The entire section of the mortuary it was gathered has only one employee. Police Commissioner Lawal told our correspondent on the telephone that the police are on top of the situation in the state capital and other parts of the state.
In spite their churches being burnt, Christians in Damaturu yesterday defied the security panic and held their Sunday service in open air at the premises of their burnt churches(Read more).
