Christian Girls Being Snatched by Islamist Traffickers By Gary Lane July 19, 2013 Christian Girls Being Snatched by Islamist Traffickers By Gary Lane CBN News Sr. International Correspondent Friday, July 19, 2013 The recent upheaval in Egypt once again brings to the forefront the plight of the country's Christians who have come under increased attack from Islamists since the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi. Now they're hoping and praying Egypt's next government will do a better job of protecting them from attacks and the trafficking of Christian girls. Funerals like the recent one at St. Mina Church in North Sinai have become all too familiar for Egyptian Christians. Friends and family recently paid final respects to Father Mina Aboud, a beloved Coptic priest. Islamist gunmen opened fire on Mina July 6 while he drove his car after shopping in the northern Sinai town of el Arish. Father Mina's murder was no surprise to Egypt's Christians because they are frequent targets of attack during times of political instability. Christians have struggled for years--not only to protect their churches, homes and businesses, but also their daughters. One of the challenges facing Christian families, particularly in Upper Egypt, is the kidnapping of young Christian girls. It generally happens when the girls enter their teen years.

We've been told that all in the past. No, it's being done today in Africa and in the Middle East young teenage Coptic Christian girls are being abducted and sold into slavery. At the same time in places like Syria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan, it's open season on Christians.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why Did Kidnapping Girls, but Not Burning Boys Alive, Wake Media Up to Boko Haram? By Noah Rothman 5/7/14 Since the Nigerian Islamic radical group Boko Haram kidnapped over 100 schoolgirls in mid-April, the media and the American government have been up in arms over this outrage. With over 200 girls in captivity, Boko Haram warned that they may sell the children into slavery. Beginning the night of the kidnappings on April 16 and continuing ever since, the press has devoted relentless focus to the crisis in Nigeria. Nearly a block an hour on the three major cable news networks has been devoted raising awareness about the group, their medieval views, their aims, and the atrocities they have committed in the past. The pressure exerted by the media moved the American government to action. President Barack Obama expressed revulsion over the kidnappings in interviews with local and network news personalities. House Speaker John Boehner joined Obama and said that, as a parent, he cannot imagine the horror of having your daughters kidnapped. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) pledged on Wednesday to join all the female members of the U.S. Senate to urge the United Nations and the international community to name Boko Haram as a known terrorist groups. Secretary of State John Kerry has helped use the pressure in the Western media to force a recalcitrant Nigerian government to accept American assistance in recovering the kidnapped children.

Nearly one year later more than 100 girls have been kidnapped, boys burnt to death and people sold into slavery. Slavery wasn't that abolished in America? Oh, yeah Africa and the Middles East never gave it up.
Why Did the Press & Political Establishment Only Begin Caring about Boko Haram When They Began Kidnapping Girls? Ace: Good question. When they were slaughtering other children boys our press and political establishment (but I repeat myself) seemed rather not to care. This focus on Boko Haram from both the media and the government is an unqualified good. The press arguably increased the pressure on global governments to do something about this backwards group of terrorists. But Boko Haram is not a new phenomenon. It was not long ago that some including this author were asking why this groups atrocities were not generating any attention in the press.On February 25, between 40 and 59 children were killed by the fundamentalist militant group. Early that morning, Boko Haram terrorists attacked a boarding school and shot many of children, aged 11 to 18, while they slept. Some of the students were gunned down as they attempted to flee. Others had their throats slit. In some buildings, Boko Haram militants locked the doors and set the building alight. The occupants were burned alive. All of the victims were boys. Reports indicated that the young girls the militants encountered were spared. According to the BBC, the militants told the girls to flee, get married, and shun the western education to which they were privy. Beyond wire reports and a handful of segments on globally-focused outlets like NPR, this atrocity went unremarked upon in the popular news media.

Wars have been fought to abolish slavery, yet it's alive and well today thanks to Muslims Africa and the Middle East. I will probably be notified that I'm being censured. However, it must be said that for all the Hoopla that is made about slavery in America, it never was abolished.
Schoolgirls located but suicide rescue mission ruled out... Nigeria military says knows where girls are, rules out force Mon May 26, 2014 - Nigeria's military knows where the more than 200 girls abducted by Boko Haram are but has ruled out using force to rescue them, the state news agency quoted Chief of Defence Staff Air Marshal Alex Badeh as saying on Monday.
Apparently the multiple mass murders Boko Haram have been committing just wasn't interesting. Kidnapping girls during exam time was clearly the bigger crime, here.
Yes because it would never happen in America http://www.nbc-2.com/story/11841010/southwest-florida-children-sold-as-sex-slaves
