When a
rubber dinghy carrying around 100 African refugees across the
Mediterranean began to sink, a Nigerian Christian prayed for his life in
an innocent act that would end in the deaths of 12 fellow migrants.
One of the Muslims on board the rickety craft ordered him to stop, saying: 'Here, we only pray to Allah.'
When he refused, a violent fight ensued and 12 Christians drowned when they were thrown overboard by the Muslim refugees.
The
tragic news comes amid reports that an unprecedented 10,000 refugees
fleeing war and persecution in Africa have been rescued by Italian ships
in the past week.
