Nigeria is slowly spiraling into civil war

My comments have nothing to do with Hillary and her role in this.

It has to do with AR acting as though he know what should constitute adequate security in Benghazi

I've never intended to act as though I know what constitutes adequate security for an ambassador. However, I think there is plenty of evidence that what was in Benghazi was inadequate.

Actually, Wikipedia says that Christians are now the majority.  I'm going off a book from the mid-90s that I almost memorized as a kid that had them at 45%

lots of converts from islam there, as crazy as it sounds. And a decent amount of animists still left to be christianised too.

Wiki seems to indicate it's roughly 50/50 Christian to Muslim.  Probably difficult to get a very precise count.

Back in the 90s I recall it being pretty close to 1/3 each for christian, muslim and animist, with muslims being slightly more and animists being slightly fewer. That's a pretty quick swing

It could be that it's just a classification swing rather than a practice swing, as it were.
