By Sophie Starkova, Patriot Post - Radical Islamist violence in Nigeria is getting renewed attention from the West as more reports come out. As World magazine’s article on the plight of Christians in that country recounts, “This year, Nigerian Christians have faced increasing attacks from jihadist groups. According to the Nigeria-based nonprofit InterSociety, Islamists murdered more than 7,000 Christians — and kidnapped 7,800 — in the country between January and August. This latest violence has refocused international attention on Nigeria over the ongoing attacks and persecution.”
