“Boko Haram Put a Bounty on My Head” | Hassan John | WSJ

Boko Haram in Nigeria
The subhead to the article below is "Nigeria's president plays down the jihad against Christians as an ethnic 'clash'."
Well it's not just Nigeria's president who plays down jihad. He at least has the excuse that he's a Muslim; why wouldn't he play down jihad?  It raises uncomfortable questions, after all.
Not so the non-Muslim apologists of Islam in the West. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), for example, just the other day decided to support the imposition of sharia blasphemy law in Europe by finding on appeal that it was indeed illegal to criticise Muhammad because it would "hurt the feelings" of Muslims. Islam is the  Religion of Peace, don't you know. Jihad?!  No, no.
Meantime Christians in Nigeria, who are fully 50% of the population vs 40% for Muslims, are hunted down and massacred by Muslims of Boko Haram ("books are not ok in Islam"). Just imagine how Christians are treated where they are the minority. Well, you don't have to imagine because that's the case in Egypt, just as one example, and there they have been virtually wiped out.  That's true jihad for you.
Pointing this out is no doubt "islamophobic". Maybe even illegal if the ECHR has anything to do with it....
