A French cultural centre in Niger’s second city Zinder was
set ablaze Friday during a protest against satirical weekly
Charlie Hebdo, which ran a cartoon of the Prophet
Mohammed on the cover of its first issue after last week’s
terrorist attacks.
An angry crowd of around 50 demonstrators broke through
the building’s front entrance before setting fire to the
cafeteria, library and offices, ignoring warning shots fired by
two police guards, the centre’s director, Kaoumi Bawa, told
AFP.
The violence came as hundreds gathered in Zinder to
protest against Charlie Hebdo, which defiantly ran a
cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed on the front page of its
first issue since 12 people were killed in an attack on the
publication’s offices in Paris last Wednesday.
For the majority of Muslims, any depiction of the Prophet
Mohammed is considered offensive.
“Protesters were shouting ‘Charlie is the devil’ and ‘May
hell swallow those who support Charlie Hebdo’ in the
Hausa language,” Aboubacar Mamane, a local shopkeeper,
told Reuters by telephone.
Three churches were also vandalised in the unrest,
according to local authorities.
Zinder was just one of many cities across the Muslim
world where protests were staged Friday against Charlie
Hebdo’s decision to publish the Mohammed cartoon.

Live and let live.
To Everyman man his own god.

I don't support the killings and burnings,
But no man should Make caricature of another's religion.

Now this is what I hate about some muslims, the muslims in Niger are burning cultural centres and churches in their country for what charlie Hebdo did in France as if Charlie Hebdo is the government of France. When will these muslims hold rallies denouncing what boko haram is doing in Nigeria? what will it sound like if the Nigerian Christians begin to burn down mosques in Nigeria because Iran burned 3000 bibles?

And when they are called a violent religion, they cry foul. I don't support what Charlie hebdo did but that's isn't enough reason for muslims to kill people and burn churches. What the hell has those churches got to do with Charlie hebdo?.

The same Charlie hebdo made fun of Jesus, Africans etc

But as they say the truth hurts
