At least two churches have been set on fire in the capital of Niger amid fresh protests against French magazine Charlie Hebdo's cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
Saturday's protests began outside Niamey's grand mosque with police using tear gas a day after at least four were killed in the second city of Zinder.
The French embassy has warned its citizens to stay indoors.
Last week, Islamist gunmen killed 12 people at the magazine's Paris offices.
Eight of them were journalists. Subsequent attacks in Paris killed another five people, four at a Jewish supermarket.

Churches and French interests have been targeted in Niger - a former French colony

Police earlier fired tear gas to disperse some 1,000 youths in front of Niamey's grand mosque

The French embassy has called on its nationals living in Niamey to remain at home
The cover of the magazine's latest edition, published after the attack, featured a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad weeping while holding a sign saying "I am Charlie".
Seven million copies of the edition are being printed in view of extraordinary demand, distributors announced on Saturday. The magazine's print run before the attack was 60,000.
Many Muslims see any depiction of Islam's prophet as offensive.
Protests against the magazine were also seen on Friday in Pakistan, where protests turned violent in Karachi, the Sudanese capital of Khartoum and the Algerian capital, Algiers.
People in Somalia took to the streets on Saturday.

Protests in Niger's capital are following a similar patters to the ones in the second city of Zinder on Friday

In Somalia, protesters held placards reading, "I am Muslim and I love my Prophet"
In Niger, a former French colony, hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Niamey's grand mosque, shouting "God is Great" in Arabic.
At least two churches were set on fire - similar to Friday's demonstration in Zinder where protesters also raided shops that were run by Christians.
The French cultural centre in Zinder also came under attack.
The centre's director, Kaoumi Bawa, said an angry crowd of around 50 people had smashed the building's door and set fire to the cafeteria, library and offices.

Islam spreading peace everywhere

The earlier the Islamic world realizes that some people cannot just stop ridiculing religions, the better it is for all humanity. I'm a practising Christian and see no sense in killing/maiming anyone who blasphemes the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has been blasphemed several times by Islamic scholars, even here in Nigeria and yet no one killed or bombed in the name of Christ. Let God defend himself, period.

as much as i condemm this charliehebo yeye cartoons.this is nonsense.......na the church people draw muhammed ?

charlies is not a christian!

charlie has been cartooning jesus christ for a long time! but christians regarded him as mad man doesnt deserve notice!

Charlie cartooned mohammed and they killed instantly!

now muslim are still not satisfied and had resorted to burning churches as usual!

dulaman:
. so you see nothing wrong with the provocation?

What provocation?

If the French govt is not one run by "Satan" it ought to stop the Hebdo magazine from further deliberately provoking the Muslim world.

The magazine is just an agent of Satan bent on setting the world on fire. Publishers know full well that every time they provoke the Muslims the Christians will be the casualty of the subsequent reaction. I dare say that magazine is at moment the most prominent enemy of christianity.

It's not everyone that can stand anyone insulting his father (or mother) unnecessarily.

Bros never spit.....everybody get right yo their religion. until when we start to respect each other religion that's when peace will rain, why would they mock the great prophet of Islam...that's extremely bad. what of if someone mock the great Jesus which is the prophet of Christian how will you feel. Muslims love their religion and adore their prophet, we need to respect that for them. Proud to be a Muslim!!!

this is so dumb.

how do u justify the burning down of churches when the cartoon didn't emanate from the church set ablaze?
worst things have been said about Jesus in the past and no mosque was raised down so why should a church be raised down over a cartoon drawn in far away France?

why always the Muslims?
why don't they seek redress in court if they feel so offended?
why are they always spilling blood all in the name of Islam?

what if every other religion on planet earth resorts to such primitive mentality? just think about it for once.

These Muslim arsonist with their global counterpart makes one wonder if they are universally programmed to act with such level of senselessness at every issue.

human lives means nothing to most of these satanic peeps hiding under the name of Islam.

the man that drew the cartoon is not even a christian so why burning down of churches? foolishness at its peak.

Mod pls, it's Niger Republic, in order to not confuse it with our peaceful Niger State

So becos they mocked him is enough reason to kill people and and forment trouble? Jesu christ has been mocked and ridiculed a number of times, but you will hardly see a similar reaction from his followers.

GIVE YR LIFE TO CHRIST COZ HES COMING AGAIN FOR HIS SHEEPS.

Vicotex:
Mad muslims everywhere

That's how wahala starts....

dulaman:
. so you see nothing wrong with the provocation?

Is it nigerien Christians that run the magazine?
Is it only Muslims the magazine lashes out on? They also lash Christians and jews.


I would never protest for Christianity, Christ is alive, He will fight Himself.

fagbalex:


This is where provocation start, why will you call Islam nonsense? This is the religion ordean by Allah [ God] to mankind and we love it, pls always respect us or that. what of if I call you your religion nonsense, I guess u won't be happy, so pls respect other peoples faith no matter the circumstances. Also Muslim are not stupid people, they are people that know their right if its violated and disrespected. let me ask you this question, wat of if you hear an info coming from an Islamic country that they mock Jesus Christ and disrespected him. Pls always be evaluative

i will laugh my butts-off coz this is not my war.GOD can care for himself and his son.
