Radical Islam's War on Christians
Yet once again the world is presented with the horrific specter of human butchery and barbaric savagery perpetrated by radical Islamist jihadists. A Somali terrorist group, al-Shabaab, attacked the Garissa University campus in Kenya last Thursday, slaughtering nearly 150 students, executing many of them specifically because of their Christian faith. Eyewitnesses said that when the captive students could not recite an Islamic creed they were summarily executed.
This savage attack is merely the latest in a series of such violent attacks perpetrated by the al-Shabaab terrorist group. They have murdered hundreds of Kenyans in churches, on public transport, and perhaps most infamously, in the terrible 2013 massacre at the upscale Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.
Perhaps even more chilling was the news that one of the terrorist killers, Abdirahim Mohammed Abdullahi, 24, killed by security forces along with three other attackers, was the son of a prominent Kenyan government official and "a brilliant upcoming lawyer."
