Yeah, there's lot of that going around.

The rioting spread Friday 225 miles southwest to the capital, Abuja, where the beauty pageant is still planned to take place Dec. 7. Muslim protesters armed with sticks, machetes and daggers burned cars and attacked pedestrians outside the city’s plush international hotels after gathering outside the central mosque following afternoon prayers....Rioters pulled a local journalist off a motorcycle and told him he would be killed unless he could recite verses from Islam’s holy book, the Quran. The crowd released him unharmed when they realized he was Muslim....Young Muslim men shouting ‘‘Allahu Akhbar,’’ or ‘‘God is great,’’ ignited makeshift barricades of tires and garbage. Others chanted, ‘‘Down with beauty’’ and ‘‘Miss World is sin.’’-- AP Wire
