Radical Islamist terrorism is rapidly spreading all over the world, not just limited to the Middle East. Nigeria is now undergoing the latest onslaught of cruelty.
According to the director of Catholic Social Communications in charge of the Maiduguri Diocese, Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie,
Christians in the town are really in a terrible situation; a moment of great persecution. Christian men are caught and beheaded, while Christian women are forced to become Muslims and are taken as wives to the terrorists.
The houses of Christians that have fled are now occupied by the terrorists; their cars are used by the terrorists. Some Muslims around identify Christian homes to be occupied and the Christians hiding were also exposed and they were killed.
Strict Sharia Laws have been promulgated, as observed by a woman who luckily escaped the dead zone.
Boko Haram is the al Qaeda related terrorist organization based in Nigeria responsible for this latest wave of mass executions. Just like ISIS and Hamas, its boldness has increased in recent years due to a lackadaisical attitude by the Obama administration toward terrorism. Obama’s wishy-washy, indecisive attitude shows no signs of changing. We can expect more Christians – as well as Jews and moderate Muslims – to be executed all around the world until a Republican willing to stand up to terrorism replaces him in office.
