Al Qaeda is calling their press agents, and saying: "Hey, this isn't us. We don't practice sex slavery.... Death to Israel, death to Israel."
This is where you are now, dudes. You have to abduct girls to get laid. Personally I am confused as to what parts of the Koran says that sex slavery is to be encouraged--they would know this, too, if they knew how to read. Part of the real world is hearing thoughts that are offensive to you--including secular education, or "education," as it is also known. (Interestingly enough, most of the world's Muslims are illiterate. I'm not making this up. Arabic, Farsi--they can't read any of it.) It's asinine that Christians would deny reality to buttress their religious teachings, it's asinine when Muslims do it as well. Really Boko is fully living up to the Fox News' depiction of Muslims, Arabs, black guys and the poor. Congratulations. You're making Fox News sensible.
As so often the case, the turds have floated to the top, with Rush Limbaugh managing to mock the First Lady's use of Twitter to apply social pressure to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan. I just wanted to share that. There are still turds in America, despite our attempts to advance women's rights in both the US and abroad. Whatever Obama might do, some Republicans will rally around evil. (Rightwingers defend Boko; leftwingers defend Bono, whose music is good.) Republicans will announce that Obama should do both more and less to rescue these girls--including ignoring the will of the Nigerian government and begin a military invasion of Nigeria.
I really want this to end up with a happy ending, but we all know that it's only a matter of how bad this situation is going to get.
