Muzzammil Hanga: Armed robbery was always increasing in this country. The disparity between the rich and the poor is there. The prisons are choked up. So when there was a hint that any part of the country, any state can chose a legal system different from the English common law legal system, and you know, establish it and practice it, people were like, you know they had been freed. They had been released from a chain. The response is overwhelming. By 8 o'clock in the morning on that day, not only the ground, but all the nine major roads leading to the ground, were choked up. The Islamization of northern Nigeria has increased tensions between Muslim majority and Christian minority communities that were already divided along tribal lines. Christians are not subject to Sharia Law, but there have been deadly riots where Christian restaurants and bars serving alcohol have been destroyed. And in October of 2001, religious clashes were triggered when Muslims protesting the U.S. air strikes in Afghanistan went rampaging into a Christian neighborhood.
