Two years ago today the savage barbarians of Boko Haram, an Islamic jihadist organization, kidnapped 276 Christian schoolgirls in Nigeria.
At the time, this was but the latest example of Boko Harams reign of terror. Up to that point, Boko Haram specifically targeted and slaughtered Christiansespecially Christian worshippers on Christian Holy Days, such as Christmas, Palm Sunday and Easter.
In fact, Boko Haram is said to be directly responsible for more deaths than the Islamic State (ISIS).
But it wasnt until they kidnapped these hundreds of schoolgirls that the world was finally awoken to the danger that Boko Haram posed. And, in fact, since then, Boko Haram has officially joined the Islamic State, meaning that the caliphate now controls territory in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Nigeria and has branches and affiliates among some 35 jihadist organizations in as many as 19 nations stretching from the Philippines to west Africa, in addition to supporters and sympathizers across western Europe and in North America.
Despite the fact that the world was awoken to the danger from Boko Haram two years ago today, the worlds response has been feeble, mainly because the so-called leader of the Free World, Barack Obama, doesnt view Jihad as a global threat, but rather a collection of local, unrelated conflicts in which he doesnt want to get involved.

The danger rests within islam.
“Boko Haram” means “Books are forbidden.” They’ve taken over many American universities.
Obama, the Kitty Genovese-like spectator of history. “He didn’t want to get involved.”
That’s unfair. Michelle hashtagged it. What more do you expect our president to do?
You mean that Michelle’s hashtag sign didn’t accomplish anything?
What is this world coming to?
This certainly frightened the Muslims. It shouldn't be 'Bring Back Our Girls', it should be 'Where are the girls?'
“Boko Haram means Books are forbidden. Theyve taken over many American universities.”
IMO, your definition isn’t inclusive enough. It’s not just illiteracy that is desired.
‘The name “Boko Haram” is usually translated as “Western education is forbidden”’

I know that’s how it’s usually translated, but “Boko” is pidgin for “book.”
Thanks, didn’t know that.
More BFF’s of our Fraud president.
Asked at the time what he thought about Boko Haram, Vice President Joe Biden replied: “I always liked their recording of A Whiter Shade of Pale.”
He’s on the side of Moslems, no matter what they do.
id the girls come back?
More brave, heroic freedom fighters - attacking girls and old folks.
Demons from h*ll, all of ‘em.
Some have escaped, some have been ransomed or rescued by government forces. There was an article not too long ago saying that a suicide bomber in Kenya (or Nigeria) might have been one of these girls.
"Any of those girls could have been one of my own daughters. Apropos of nothing, I've never lifted a finger to get any of them back. Oh, and Death to America!"
