Nigeria is a country that has a lot of religious tension already, and the pagent was a well known volatile situation. The paper printing that was high irresponsible. It wasn't even fact that they were printing, but rather speculation that anyone could know would cause contention.

However, the point here is that the deputy governer called out a religious edict against Isioma Daniel for blasphemy against Islam. This isn't about the riots or finding a fall guy, this is about the content of what she said. It was Muslims who did most of the killing to begin with, and it is Muslims who are calling for her death.

This has more to do with the laws of Islam, really, and how they are carried out in Nigeria. Nigeria is a much different place than the U.S. Nigeria still regularly sentences women to death by stoning if they have a child out of wedlock.
