The Islamic State group has released a video claiming to show the killing of 11 Christians in Nigeria.

IS said it was part of its recently declared campaign to "avenge" the death of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during a US raid in Syria in October.

No details were given about the victims, who were all male, but IS says they were "captured in the past weeks" in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno State.

The 56-second video was produced by the IS "news agency" Amaq.

1. Protestants there kill "witches"

The ugly underbelly of organized religion that faith never rids us of, religious barbarity

2. They're only this way because they're oppressed

We should try to understand their anger, amirite?

3. freaking cowards...the lot of them

If they truly believed they and their religion were true and righteous...why do they all have to hide their faces?

4. To Be Fair

Their leader was killed in the name of xstianity by the forces of the golden haired gawd of the xstian faith. Killing people because of their belief in make believe manifestations tells us all that we need to know about organized religions........every single one of them

5. He was not killed in the name of Christianity

He was killed because he was a terrorist, and rightly so. Hopefully these guys are next.

6. Funny Isn't It

That anyone not belonging to your particular cult is a terrorist? That guy was killed over his belief in a make believe manifestation, just like all Muslims killed by Lord Marmalade's storm troopers and brown shirts.

Religion is vile, evil, hateful, and intolerant. Those are the basic tenants of every last one of them. It will never stop until every last person on earth has been killed.
