[Groop]OT-Nigeria (sorry)

[Chris Schechner]

John,

You're correct in saying they Grooed and shouldn't have assumed the 
Nigerians would agree with their values. But I hope you weren't 
saying that the ensuing riots, the brutal murder of innocent 
bystanders and the destruction of Christian churches was an 
appropriate response. That's not Grooing, it's barbaric and criminal.
