What Happened?
About 300 teenaged girls were abducted from their school in Nigeria on April 15. Police have said that some were able to escape but 276 remain kidnapped.
Gunmen abducted the girls from their dormitories at the Government Girls Secondary school in Chibok. One girl told the New Yorker that militants dressed in Nigerian military uniforms came into their dorms and told the girls they were being taken to a safe space. They were placed in trucks and on motorcycles and driven away as the militants shouted "Allahu akbar," which means God is great.
Some of the girls have been taken across Nigeria's borders, to Chad and Cameroon, to be sold into marriage, according to the Associated Press.
Who Is Responsible?
A leader of the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility today for the kidnappings. The group's name means "Western education is forbidden."
The leader, Abubakar Shekau, said "I abducted your girls" in a 57-minute video obtained by the AFP news agency. He also said he would sell them in the marketplace.
Boko Haram is known as "Nigeria's Taliban." It does not have historic ties with Al Qaeda but in recent years has employed Al Qaeda-type tactics, using improvised explosive devices, car bombs, and assassination to sow terror in Nigeria.
The group has gunned down churchgoers and set off bombs across Nigeria. Last month it bombed a bus stop in the capital, Abuja, and killed 71 people.

The authors don’t mention that the girls are Christians and that they’ve been kidnapped by Muslims.
They also don’t mention that our Sec. of State, John Kerry, laments that their kidnappers “don’t have a health plan”.
They said on the news here today that the girls are being SOLD as slaves for $12 each! this is HORRIBLE!
I think muslim men are ‘men’ who are not sure of their own manhood. They are trying to prove to themselves and to others that they are real men. By acting like wild animals.
No, we shouldn't have troops in Africa. But yes, the world community needs to do something useful to get those girls out....then leave.
Nope. It means 'Allah is great'. Their god is not God.
Why aren’t Sharpton & Jackson and the other race baiters going to Africa to negotiate their release? Chicken $%^t blowhards!
A higher price wouldn't make it any better. Life sure is cheap in African countries, and in Muslim countries. In areas that are both Muslim AND African....
No, it doesn’t mean God is great. It means Allah (Satan) is great, which is a lie. The media is lying about a lie.
Plus, they must be amazingly inbred.
Not until our congress critters decide to vehemently protest the persecution of Christians in the Muslim world, and do something about it, will anything happen to stop these brutalities.
Their silence is like an approval of these violent events and reminds us of the same silence that we expect to hear from our ‘peaceful’ Muslim population.
But then again, there may not be any Christians among our congressmen and women.
There must be someone, somewhere saying, “What could we do that was so heinous that it would grab the attention of the American public to the point of having the people DEMAND that we put in the Army to secure the safety of Nigeria. And the oil there.”
I know, “get some half assed Muslim group to kidnap, rape, and murder 200 black African school girls.”
Our troops are already there.
You cannot say it’s not our business because they are black, and that would be racist.
What is a shame is that the crap that has to be done to grab the desensitized attention of the American public just has to get worse and worse every time.
Next they will be feeding babies to crocodiles in prime time.
The world is an evil place. The people running the world are even more evil.
Too bad millions of Americans will fall for this.
Why should they be bothered about this? There are no whites to attack and extort here. It's blacks kidnapping young black children and selling the in a black operated slave market to other blacks and maybe arabs , so it's all kool considering the sex-slave trade that the blacks operate here.
Their god is the Geico pig.
Yes, and they will be sold... and the muslims know they can do it and get away with it, out in the open, without consequence.
Political Correctness has insured this.
They know people will not dare call them out. They know people would as soon watch their families be sold and murdered, rather than risk being politically incorrect.
i thought they worshiped the god called baal.
i know they workship a bir rock in Mecca.
I also know that I worship and living God. Indeed He is alive.
This kind of makes me yearn for a public display of severed jihadi privates, to be sold in the marketplace as long as supplies last. With a continuous pursuit of new inventory until it’s really “all gone”.
Oh yeah. And sell their severed parts to the Chinese. They're sure to have some virility-restoring concoction they can brew up from them. Better the severed part of Moozie "men" than innocent endangered species of critters.
Oh, those fun-loving moozlums. They must be “moderates”...they haven’t chopped-off the girls heads (yet).
