I have a reader take umbrage with my assertation that Isioma Daniel is Muslim. I did mistakenly refer to Isioma as "he", which is definitely incorrect. My assertation that she is Muslim appears to be similarly in error, for which I apologize, although I haven't been able to prove that she is Christian, either. My notes on the original post say "the author, Isioma Daniel, is Muslim", but I have been unable to find where I got that from, and see no mention of Isioma's religious beliefs on any of the stories I checked today. So, if you go read the post in its entirety, you need to realise that the statement "Incidentally, the author of the offending editorial is not Christian, he is Muslim." is in error. Not that that really has anything to do with the timbre of the post, but Rocky is correct in that an error (2, actually) was made.

Rocky's comment:

Your comments about the journalist are wrong. Where do you get your information?

I suggest you check your facts before creating your own from assumptions, just to support your views.

Great thing about blogs - there are multiple levels of fact checking that can occur, and anyone can take you to task for an intemperate or inaccurate statement. And perhaps Rocky is correct in that I made an assumption from something I read that supported my view of the situation. But in the end it really doesn't matter that much - the end result is that somewhere around 200 people are now dead because of a fairly innocuous comment.

UPDATE

Found this story, which confirms that Isioma Daniel is, in fact, a Christian. She has also had to flee the country, as there is now a fatwa issued, calling for her death.

So, a fashion reporter writes a stupid article (and maybe something she should have been fired for if Muslims really found it that insensitive). Now she has to flee her homeland, and 220 people are dead.
