The Islamic State is trying to change up the leadership of Nigerian-based Boko Haram and has appointed a new leader who is vowing to bomb churches and kill all Christians.
IS (also known as ISIS or ISIL) announced Wednesday in its al-Nabaa newspaper that Abu Musab al-Barnawi is the new leader of its Nigerian-affiliated outfit, calling him the "Wali" (governor) of its West African Province.
In an interview published by the IS news source that was translated by the SITE Intelligence Group, al-Barnawi vowed to kill less Muslims and more Christians.
Under the leadership of Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram has been known to kill not only Christians but also Muslims who oppose the terrorist group.
Al-Barnawi, who was formerly believed to be just the group's spokesman, vowed to end attacks on mosques and vowed to attack more churches, the Associated Press reports.
"They strongly seek to Christianize the society," al-Barnawi was quoted as saying. "They exploit the condition of those who are displaced under the raging war, providing them with food and shelter and then Christianizing their children."
Al-Barnawi said that the militants will respond to the threat of evangelism by "booby-trapping and blowing up every church that we are able to reach, and killing all of those [Christians] who we find from the citizens of the cross."
Despite IS' claim of leadership change, Shekau, who claimed leadership of the group in 2010, was featured in a recording posted to YouTube on Wednesday night, hours after the al-Barnawi interview was released.
What are your coordinates?
That 15 billion Obola released along with the 400 million that he gave them sure is coming in handy.
This is islam. This is what all muslims believe. This is what is written in the koran and hadith. This is how the founder and perfect muslim of islam lived his life.
Free fire zone back at ya.
These subhuman savages have one purpose in their miserable lives: to kill normal people. They start off life just like everyone else, but are rapidly turned into savages who repeat every word of their subhuman creed.
Get all decent people out, let them have their califate and then blow it up when they are all in the grid.
TIA
You are all so mean-spirited. Aren’t all cultures “equal” as our “betters” and our “leaders” tell us???
Wait just one minute!
President obama said this was not about religion.
What is wrong with these people, the west is bending over backwards trying to say that these Islamist Terrorists are just mis-understood nice people.
Where are all the “African- “ in the US?? Shouldn’t they be rushing to their Homeland to Help their African Christian Brothers?? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton?? OBAMA?, oh that’s right Obama gave them weapons to commit GENOCIDE of AFRICANS.
No worries Mooch is planning to get back the girls any day now. This guy is really a kindhearted person but might have a mental illness.

More importantly our very own politicians, corporate businesses, the media and the rest of these idiots support these savages
Trump needs to use this threatened attack upon Christian churches, and emphasize that Hillary is on record as supportive of open borders and the immigration of just such people as those making these threats.
I’m sure Obama is preparing his hashtag response.
