Jihad-Watch: Christian Students Executed by Boko Haram in Nigeria; Believers Pray for 'Change of Heart'

This was the Romanist slaughter of French, Calvinistic
Protestants in Paris, 1572, called the
"St. Bartholomew Massacre." While inapplicable
to the Nigerians in this article, it reminds us
that Christians will find answers to murders
one day, vis a vis Rev. 6.9ff. Barring the second
coming and Final Judgment, may the earthly
authorities find these Sharia-Islamo-facists
and STOP THEM!
