Muslim girls kidnapped?

Abuja, Nigeria, Mar 30, 2015 / 02:08 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Almost a year after the terror group Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of Nigerian school girls, humanitarian workers are fighting what they call global inaction in the face of the humanitarian crisis.
Most of the girls abducted from Chibok have not been rescued, though some have escaped on their own. “That sends a strong message to us – not just to Nigerians, but to the human race – that 200 and something girls could be abducted somewhere and 343 days after they are not back. That is a big problem we have to look into,” said Bukky Shonibare, a Nigerian humanitarian worker who was strategic coordinator of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
That movement tried to raise awareness about the abducted girls in the aftermath of their capture by Boko Haram last April 15. Most of the girls still have not been rescued; 57 have successfully escaped on their own, Shonibare said.
Shonibare spoke at the Hudson Institute Mar. 23 about Boko Haram and the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria. She was joined by Nigerian-born human rights lawyer Emanuel Ogebe, who also addressed the Islamist terror group’s recent pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State.
Boko Haram, the name meaning “book-education is forbidden,” has conducted a spree of violent attacks and kidnappings in West Africa, escalating in number and degree since 2009. Their attacks have killed more than 15,500 since 2012.
Any response to the abductions must be “holistic,” Shonibare insisted, because girls kidnapped by the terror group have returned pregnant or infected with HIV.

How about pound sign(#)whatdyathinkwasgonnahappen.
And things went so well with KONY2012.
The foremost exponents of the e-mail scam are aghast that donors aren’t very trusting? Cry me a river...
WTF do they mean “Our Girls”, what arrogance!
Poor Nigeria! They thought they were relevant when MO used them to raise her stature. Nope! You were only important in how you could be used to improve the Narcissist-In-Chief’s visibility! Nigeria: to the Obamas, you are yesterday’s newspapers.
No American with any experience would give one cent to a Nigerian after all their scams. It is high time we quit giving money to anyone except Americans. Hell we owe almost 20 trillion.
Bad people somewhere are doing something horrible. Does that make it our responsibility to go there and kill them?

Mistake #1: Depending on Tumbr and Twitter for anything.
Those people were USING YOU as a fun cause to “get behind” because their friends were in on it. It aint hard to tweet a s*itty selfie of yourself holding up a paper with a hashtag. And it wasnt hard to move onto something else.

Just another examples of liberals trying to show everyone that they “care” more than everyone else.
If we would do just that, without the hand wringing and nation building, I wouldn’t complain.
Well, I must agree that the press could do a lot more to publicize the evils of Boko Haram and other Muslim terrorist groups, and treat them for what they are—Muslim terrorists, behaving in accordance with the Koran.
But the chief blame lies with the government of Nigeria. Why the hell should we be responsible for their evils? For that matter, why should Chad and their other neighboring countries have to try to deal with Boko Haram, which is constantly invading them and killing THEIR daughters.
Where is the government of Nigeria? Yes, I know. . . . But the media and the UN and other governments should be putting the pressure on those corrupt rats.

#This!
LOL! I am SOOOOOOO sick of all this “hashtag” crap I have a hard time controlling myself at times. I guess I musta missed the memo that changed the pound sign/number sign “#” to now be forever known as “hashtag”.
Wait a minute that didn’t work?
