Christian Pastor Beheaded by Islamists in 2009

By Michael Carl – “Members of the Muslim jihadist group Boko Haram are vowing to ‘eradicate Christianity’ in Nigeria.

Reports coming out of Nigeria over the past several days show that the group whose name means ‘Western education is evil’ is launching a new terror campaign aimed at killing Christians and Jews in northern Nigeria.

The Nigerian news site Bikya Masr reports that the jihadi group has declared war on all Christians living in northern Nigeria.

Human-rights group International Christian Concern’s Jonathan Racho confirms the reports and says the news is ‘alarming.’

‘The reports indicate that members of Boko Haram recently declared a war on Christians in northern Nigeria. The group vowed to eradicate Christians from certain areas in Nigeria,’ Racho said.

‘The spokesman for the group (Boko Haram) say the group will launch a number of attacks targeting Christians,’ Racho said. ‘So there are alarming developments even as we speak.’

Estimates put the casualties in Boko Haram’s campaign at more than 100 dead since Christmas.

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs press service IRIN reports that in the past 48 hours, more than 100 children have fled Nigerian for Chad to escape Boko Haram’s violent rampage.

Human Rights Watch also reports that since Christmas, Boko Haram has burned more than a dozen schools.

Racho confirms the casualty figures.

‘Boko Haram has already killed hundreds. Since Christmas alone, the group has martyred about 100 Christians in northern Nigeria,’ Racho said.

‘They think they have not met their goals for eradicating Christians,’ Racho said. ‘They are prepared for more bloodshed.'” Read more.

Boko Haram is responsible for several deadly attacks throughout Nigeria, including the bombing of the U.N. headquarters, and the bombing of a prison that held many of the group’s members — the bombing allowed many of those members to escape.” Read more.
