CONTENT: Dealing with religious tension
In November 2002, the city of Kaduna in northern Nigeria erupted into racial riots leaving over 100 people dead. The riots began after an article in the national newspaper “ThisDay” questioned Muslims groups that had condemned the Miss World pageant which was taking place in the country by the time. The article said: "What would the Prophet Mohammed think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from among them the contestants." Outraged Islamic leaders issued a ‘fatwa’, calling for the death of the article’s author. The incident has prompted the Nigerian media to take a hard look at their role in dealing with the country’s religious tensions.
