Muslim persecution of Christians is at a high tide — and there are grave fears of more sectarian bloodletting as millions of people in Nigeria, which is half Muslim and half Christian, vote for their national leaders next month.

These religious atrocities cry out for media attention and political awareness, said Raymond Ibrahim, author of the monthly report “Muslim Persecution of Christians,” which has chronicled attacks on Christians in dozens of countries since July 2011.

Mainstream media rarely cover attacks on Christians, even though they happen “all around the Islamic world,” Mr. Ibrahim said Tuesday.

Nigeria may wind up making 1994 Rwanda look like a walk in the park before it’s over.

The existence of muslims puts all non-muslims in danger of muslim attack.

Elections and cartoons are not needed.

Nigeria's in-your-face corruption may be fueling Boko Haram terrorism.
