Johannes, concerning the more general question of Islam, I believe events in Nigeria represent a microcosm of potential future effects worldwide. Islamic law, brutal and barbaric as it is, serves as a proxy means for clerics to maintain power in largely poverty stricken and backward areas. If freedom gains much greater hold in these places, Islamic religious states will be toast and the religious leaders know it.
