Translation: How much is the life of a Christian? In Nigeria , Muslims pay to members of Boko Haram , on average , 7. 000 naira for every Christian dead. Amount equivalent to $ 43 . The Christian group Jubilee Campaign , has made serious complaints against the government of Nigeria, but the president himself admitted that he can not control the army of Boko Haram , which is supported and equipped by Al- Qaeda. His desire is manifested in establishing an Islamic state governed by sharia , in a country where nearly 50 % of the population profess the Christian faith. The northern region is almost entirely controlled by extremists which produces most of the murders and attacks against churches . Although recent media attention focused on the slaughter of Christians in Syria , the figures are inaccurate. The Muslim Al Jazeera TV , recently interviewed Ibrahim Mohammed, a soldier who is imprisoned Boko Haram . He was emphatic : "We chose to take up arms against those who do not want the Sharia . Allah , he asked us to fight [ against them]. " The reporter asked about other Muslims and children who have died during the attacks. " Whoever dies is innocent has nothing to worry about. In addition , we are forgiven by Allah, because it is a holy war [ jihad ] . " Massimo Introvigne , coordinator of the Centre for Religious Freedom in Italy made a call to the world about the situation at the end of last year. "It is estimated that in 2012 105,000 Christians killed for religious reasons. That is, one death every five minutes , "he said . Professor of Sociology and researcher at the Vatican, Introvigne , explains that they are both evangelical and Catholic , Coptic Orthodox and those who die . For him , the areas most at risk are those with Muslim jihadist groups that wish to implement Islamic laws . " The risk areas are many, but basically we can identify three countries where Islamic fundamentalism is rooted : Nigeria , Somalia and Mali , " he said. " The right to freely practice their religion is a fundamental right enshrined in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights . The truth is that it is impossible to calculate exactly martyrdom. However, the non-governmental organization World Watch Monitor, human rights struggle " , Introvigne said , noting that " half of the people killed for religious reasons this year lived in Nigeria " .
