JALINGO, Nigeria – Police in eastern Nigeria say more than 20 people have been killed in violence that erupted after Christian and Muslim youths argued over a soccer field.

Taraba state police spokesman Amos Olawoye said Monday that the attacks this weekend in the town of Wukari damaged more than 50 buildings, including mosques and churches.

He says about 100 people have been arrested and that police have stepped up their presence in the area.

While Christians and Muslims largely live in peace in Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people, tensions between the two communities have grown due to a campaign of attacks by Islamic extremists.

Coming to an America near you.

After all that the game still ended 0 - 0.

they must think they're playing soccer in Europe.

Barbarians.

Do they get virgins for that?

Some American college will probably give them a full ride for their passion for the game.

Are you telling me that a bunch of rags killed each other over something trivial? Wow....that like never happens.

Well, if 20 Muslims got killed, then I say by God let's start sponsoring soccer in Nigeria.

Maybe these last few decades with everyone claiming soccer is going to be huge in the US, since it's so big in the world, they finally got mad at us for not giving a crap about soccer. Yeah, that must be it.

So we do not need an Army, Navy or Air Force; we just need more soccer in the world, and things will work themselves out. Problem solved, radically Islamists don't stand a chance.

Puts new meaning to the old saying--Rugby is a sport for hooligans, played by gentlemen; football (soccer) is a sport for gentlemen, played by hooligans.

Pretty much makes sense.

Given that both churches and mosques were damaged in the violence, I suspect that the title should include both Christians and Muslims (and the total is now over 20).

Try reading the story, and realize that there is no fire without fuel.

The extremist, yes. However, they don't represent the vast majority of Muslims no matter how folks try to stereotype.

Went to a soccer game and peace broke out.

I take it you've never been to a Premier League game, or heard of the Hooligans...

If the "mainstream" Muslims are so against the Jihad and such, where are the calls against it?

Just sayin... you'd expect the same from the Ku Klux Klan.

Not the, "Why isn't every other muslim in the world calling out against the extremist" crap. That's just silly. When a bomb goes off in Nothern Ireland or such place do you or every other non militant call for the violence to stop? Of course not, nor should you be expected to.

That was done by people seeking independence. What the hell does it matter to me whether Northern Ireland is autonomous or a part of the U.K.?

Apples and rail ties, man. Show me thousands of Christians all over the world causing havoc.
