The Toll Islamophobia Has Taken on Global Politics Peter Okafor

This research seeks to ascertain the influence islamophobia has on voters perception, particularly in Nigeria, which happens to consist of both christian and muslims,given the threat of the radical Boko haram sect on the secular nature of our beloved country, voters are of the opinion that a Muslim president who ultimately change Nigeria into an Islamic state. And this has taken a great toll on Nigerian voters as they decided in the forth coming 2015 general election which has been scheduled for February 14th 2015. With the aim of prevent the escalation of violence, I have provided this research to show that should ithe be the Muslim side loose, it wouldn't be because the election were rigged, but because of the perception the Nigeria Christian population has towards a Muslim leader.
