Persecution by Muslims

Five people have reportedly died in a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada, police say.

At least eight have been injured.  

Two people have been arrested.

The incident occurred at one of the two mosques operated by the Quebec Islamic Cultural Center. There were at least 40 people at the time of the incident, during evening prayers on Sunday. 

A military airplane bombed a refugee camp mistaken it for a Boko Haram camp. The death toll is over 100 people dead and many others wounded.

The number of child bombers used by the Islamic extremists of Boko Haram has increased from four to 44 in a year with devastating consequences in communities that now see children as threats, UNICEF said April 12.

Seventy-five percent of the children used are girls, a new report said, emphasizing that these children, many believed captives, are "victims, not perpetrators."

Military sources on Saturday confirmed the arrest of the leader of the Ansaru Islamic Sect, Khalid Albarnawi, who was described as the second in command to Abubakar Shekau in the hierarchy of the Boko Haram terrorists group. He is regarded as the most influential member of Nigeria’s terror network with contacts to other Jihadi groups in North Africa and the Middle East.
