and people who identify as none of these. Nigeria is a country of traditionalists, Christians, Muslims, religious minorities and also the non-religious. It is important that we as citizens be mindful of diversity in our everyday dealings.
I know that the past weeks have been one of the tensest periods in the history of the relationship between the Muslim community and the humanist/atheist non-religious community in the country. The post that Mr. Mubarak Bala reportedly made on Facebook and the reactions by Muslims; his arrest and detention without access to a lawyer, have tested and strained that relationship.
Atheists and Muslims will once again begin to live side by side in peace and harmony. Atheists and humanists do not seek conflict with Muslims in this country, whether in the North or in the South. This country has had enough mindless religious violence and bloodletting. We cannot afford to spill any more blood in pursuit of a needless religious vendetta.
You are on your own. There are most certainly, comments, innuendos, stereotyping, and comparative skewed presentations that offensive to people of different persuasions, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute. Sensibilities must be respected.
From the moment they insult the faith of a community of billions of people while hiding behind their keyboards they must realize the gravity of their actions. If atheists want respect, they must also respect believers. Death threats are meaningless, but let respect muslims
