So..234 young women were kidnapped by Islamic militants.

[Orignal Earl]

No kidding, hell even gypsies aka romani's won't steal from other gypsies. The other 7+ billion of us is open season of course.

I'm guessing it mostly sounds strange because you guys version of Islam is not real
I suppose that how the truth starts to sink in though

 

[OutHouse]

When I was in the hospital with cancer, you were very kind, and I appreciated the support a lot

yea i remember and glad you got through it. you may piss me off but i never wish you ill will.

 

[Orignal Earl]

On the other hand, the left repeatedly describes Islam as a religion of peace

You guys keep saying that, do you have links to the left saying that?
Search this forum thousands of right wingers repeating it

edit- thousands of posts

You claimed to have researched this story, but it appears not. many of the girls were Christians and have been forced to convert to Islam etc. I haven't seen any reported as Muslim.

Guess you didn't look all that hard

Note: Boko Haram operates mainly in the North and central area of Nigeria which is the Muslim dominated part of the country. The school in question is in the far north-east of the country. Not going to be many Christians there.

Boko Haram doesn't give a damn who is going to school as they are against education for anyone. Their name apparently translates as "western education is sinful".

"Those abducted are both Christian and Muslim students enrolled in secular schools. Not all cases involve kidnappings, however. Gun and bombing attacks on schools have killed hundreds of children in recent years.
In February, the Nigerian military blamed Boko Haram for killing at least 29 students in an attack on a federal college in Buni Yadi in Yobe state. Another bloody example came last July, when 20 students and a teacher were fatally gunned down in the same state.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/24/world/africa/nigeria-kidnapping-answers/

"The Chibok girls school is in the remote and sparsely populated northeast region of Nigeria, a country of 170 million with a growing chasm between a north dominated by Muslims and a south by Christians. Like all schools in Borno state, Chibok, an elite academy of both Muslim and Christian girls, had been closed because of increasingly deadly attacks by Boko Haram. But it had reopened to allow final-year students to take exams."

Heh. Yeah it's always a laugh when one contrasts the bogeymen of political theatre with actual real world horrors.

And you seem to think it appropriate to make an ideological 'point' for your team at the expense of this tragedy and the people affected because it's a 'laugh' for you?

You really showed everyone with this one. Rah for you and your team.

Oh, Obama said it once...and you guys repeated it

I like Islam? and only Islam...

I dunno possum, do you think it's possible that you might build things up a bit on your own?

You clearly don't like Christians and haven't spoken about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Africa.

See the thing about standing up for something like Freedom of religion, is that you have to keep standing even when it hurts

Riiight. You're only standing up for freedom of religion when you rabidly defend Islam and only Islam.

You know who else was only standing up for freedom of religion? Boko Haram.

 

[Victorian Gray]

And have *you* spoken out about the persecution of rutabaga in Australia and Southern Texas?

Lot's of Christians here on this board, they do fine without me
I was born and raised Catholic, most of my family is Christian
I'm probably a Deist now, I don't know doesn't matter
If was Atheist I'd still defend freedom of religion

no no
Boko Haram is a terrorist organization, and don't want freedom of religion
I see now that you have no idea what freedom of religion is and means

You ever notice that you always end your posts with a smarmy and abravise comment? Any thing of value you may have said is wiped out when the reader sees the garbage at the end. You make this so hard on yourself, JUST CONVERSE IN A CIVILIZED MANNER. It's not hard.

Shut up. You're an idiot who never understands what's actually been said.

 

[Zaap]

I wished it made me laugh yesterday. Right as someone was calling those who disagree with him nazis, I was also watching a documentary about Treblinka. It was very strange actually.

Yeah but you're often dealing with people with zero concept of the real world. Being disageed with is a terrible attrocity to many. But nazis and anything they *actually* did? That's the stuff of comic books to many. A "WAR" on women is some political hack they worship being disagreed with. The term even comes to them straight from some hack's politcal theatre they've fallen for. But some group somewhere in the world waging an actual WAR on women? That's nothing they ever heard of. The concept of it being a laughable comparison isn't even graspable.

 

[Nebor]

I find it difficult to care too much about this. Islam's gonna Islam. Just more reason to keep them oppressed here in the US.

A bunch of posters just want to paint a group of people as nothing but barbaric animals.
(I better clarify Muslims not the terrorists, because another of you will fall back on that now because topic)
Your biggest problem with that is you want me to be super sensitive to their feelings

Ya, it don't matter..when my typing comes off too nice to you then you revert to I'm just a scared little Liberal who trying to save himself from the Muslim hoards
Message boards are funny that way aren't they

Just saw this one, might have similar information earlier in the thread, but I'm not digging through all of the pages: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/08/world/africa/nigeria-abducted-girls/index.html#cnn-disqus-area

China is stepping in to help with their satellite intel, as well. I don't think it will be long before these terrorists find the real treasures of their terror: living in a cave for the rest of their lives, or until they get some missiles shoved up their asses.

That swishing sound going over your head - no, you probably can't hear anything THAT far over your head.

Freedom of religion does not equal pretending that all religions are morally or practically equal. Recognizing that one particular religion is on balance a force for evil does not equal pretending that all people embracing that religion are evil.

I see people can twist a religion for "evil", used as a banner to rally under
I recognize that practically every religion has been used for that

edit- It works the same for say America
Some posters here have one idea of what it stands for and rally under that, the other group the opposite

But in this case the people using the religion for "evil" (not sure why that needs to be in quotes, but I'll play along) are not twisting it, but are obeying the exact literal written requirements which by their reckoning are directly from G-d to Muhammed. The equivalent would be if Christians or Jews were using the text of the Old Testament and murdering gays, adulterers, etc. That is very widespread with Islam, significant for Christianity only in some areas of Africa, and present in Judaism only in scattered individuals. No other religion has such pernicious evil associated with it.

Right now, out there, there is millions of Muslims sitting there arguing about what that book says
Same with Christians and Jews and what have you

Ya, that's not true
Great Gramma Jewish lady would probably prefer being around Muslims then Christians
Protestants would of said Catholics a hundred years ago

I have Christian nieces that go to the deepest darkest places in Africa, Middle East, and live in tiny villages surrounded by all these supposedly violent animals
Your going to have a hard time getting me to take your word for this
