Ultra-PC "news" service Reuters naturally could never accuse those peace-lovin' Muslims of any wrongdoing.

So when it had to refer in a recent article to the riots by Nigerian Muslims against the 2002 Miss World beauty pageant, they became "Muslim-Christian riots".

A more detailed description of the riots is found in this 2002 CNN news story:

Angry mobs in the mainly Muslim city 600 kilometres (375 miles) northwest of Lagos burnt Christian churches and rampaged through the streets stabbing, bludgeoning and burning bystanders to death.

...Schools and shops hurriedly closed as hordes of young men, shouting "Allahu Akhbar," or "God is great," ignited makeshift street barricades made of tires and garbage, sending plumes of black smoke rising above the city. Others were heard chanting, "Down with beauty" and "Miss World is sin."

It's true that Christians were involved. Mainly, they were being killed by the Muslims.
