As Islamist terrorists continue to waste and condemn innocent lives in some parts of the African continent, the jihadist in a latest video has issued an ultimatum to Christians.

Pulse reports that the jihadist known as Islamic State militants in a latest video threatened to kill Christian worshipers if they refuse to convert to Islam.
The jihadists made the threat after the successful execution of no fewer than 28 men identified as “worshipers of the cross belonging to the hostile Ethiopian Church”
An Islamic State spokesman in the latest video which was released on April 19, 2015, reportedly gave Christians three choices: convert to Islam, submit to Islam, or be killed by Islam.
“We say to Christians everywhere, the Islamic State will expand … So whoever enters Islam will have security … But whoever refuses will see nothing from us but the edge of a spear. The men will be killed and the children will be enslaved, and their wealth will be taken as booty. This is the judgment of Allah and his messenger,” a transcript from the video reads.
Meanwhile, Worthy News in its report said the Ethiopian Ministry of Information has confirmed the victims to be Ethiopian migrants working and residing in Libya.
It was said that the recent video was released barley two months after ISIS executed 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt. The victims comprising both Egyptians and Ethiopians were killed on a beach in the same general area on the Libyan coast.
ISIS has before now, reiterated that the religious persecution of Christians is fundamental to the “religion of peace.”
The jihadist while quoting verses of the Koran, the Sunnah as well as Islamic scholars, declared Christianity to be a false religion and claimed the persecution of Christians (and Jews) was a fundamental part of Islam which has fallen out of fashion today.
An Islamic scholar, Al Islam Ibn-Taymiyyah had once said: “Whoever does not consider the Jews and Christians to be disbelievers and does not hate them is not a Muslim.”
ISIS, sometimes known as ISIL and later renamed Islamic State is a Jihadist militant group in Iraq and Syria influenced by the Wahhabi movement. It has carried out series of deadly attacks that have claimed thousands of lives in recent time.
The terrorist group aims to establish a caliphate, or Islamic state in Sunni majority regions of Iraq and Syria.
