Since December 25, 2011, Boko Haram, a radical Muslim group, has killed at least eighty Nigerian Christians. According to sources, members of Boko Haram barged into several churches on Christmas Day and killed innocent Christians. Understandably, this has caused thousands of Nigeria’s faithful believers to flee from their homes--to search for a safe haven. What’s worse is that a leader of Boko Haram, Aboubakr Shekau, has taken to YouTube to defend Boko Haram’s persecution, torture, and killing of Nigeria’s Christians. Mr. Shekau went on to warn Nigeria’s President that the country’s security forces would never be able to defeat Boko Haram. Full Story
