Islamic Extremists Slit Christian Pastor’s Throat for Refusing to Renounce His Faith, Gun Down Teens as Horror Rages in Nigeria
LAGOS, Nigeria (TheBlaze/AP) — The pastor would not renounce his Christian faith so the Islamic extremists slit his throat.
High school students were taking exams
in defiance of the militants of Boko Haram, whose name means “Western
education is forbidden.” So the gunmen mowed them down at their desks.
The group that Nigeria’s government has
declared a prohibited terrorist organization “declared war” last week
on vigilante youths who have been arresting suspects and handing them
over to soldiers fighting to crush the insurgency in the northeast part
of Africa’s most populous nation and the continent’s biggest oil
producer.
Clearly, the situation is dire.
The radical group that once attacked
only government institutions and security forces is increasingly
targeting civilians. Some 155,000 square kilometers (60,000 square
miles) of Nigeria are now under a state of emergency.
