In March this year, Boko Haram abducted 105 girls in Dapchi, Nigeria, whom they force to convert to Islam. One abducted schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu, under pressure from her abducted school friends, and despite intimidation (and very possibly violence) from her captors, refused to renounce her faith.

Boko Haram refused to release Leah Sharibu (while releasing the others) because she kept her Christian faith.

Christians are among the most persecuted minorities in the world. I am not talking about the side-lining of Christianity in public life, as is happening in much of the West.

In northern Nigeria's Maiduguri Diocese, Islamist Boko Haram's mass killing and other violence has caused 1.8 million people to be displaced and left 5,000 widows and 15,000 orphans.

In June of this year, as many as 200 Christians were murdered and over 3000 displaced in the villages surrounding Jos in Plateau state in Nigeria.

Reports from local Christian leaders have said that as many as 6,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed by Muslim Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria since the start of the year.
