Nigerian "Taliban" Beheads 3 Pastors

About those Nigerian "Taliban". Just when you thought it was as bad as it could get, it gets worse:

“The pastors alongside one Ibo man were asked to change their faith to Islam like they did to other people taken as hostages. I think there was an argument by one of the pastors which gave the others some level of confidence to also resist accepting Islam.

“The Yusufiya men who were armed on that Tuesday afternoon were not comfortable with the pastors and they took one of them to the sect leader in his inner chamber. They came out later to the courtyard within the compound and cut their heads one after the other and thereafter, shouted allah akbar in wild celebration accompanied with several gun shots,” the eye witness disclosed.

Horrifying.

UPDATE and RELATED: Over at Anwar al-Awlaki's site he publishes a letter praising the Nigerian Taliban. As a reminder, al-Awlaki is scheduled to be a key note speaker at an upcoming London fundraiser.
