So far the closest thing I have seen to a straight answer is Gandalf and Ian pretending he said something completely different.

I am also calling bullshit on the European stats.


Fair enough, FD. You must have a superior source.

Y’s Koran link, eh?

Jolly good. That Muhammed was quite a cad, wasn’t he?

I blame Islam. Typical.

Big deal muslims are the minority terrorists in Europe?

Europe is certainly not the domain of the muslim.

How about in lands considered islamic?  muslims are the majority terrorists, they murder each other, murder non muslims, destroy their health and housing  facilities, live in abject poverty because of their continual killing of each other, are homicidal illiterate, backwards, inbred, pedophiles.

I'll take European civilization over muslims, any day of the week

Abducted schoolgirls forced to marry Nigerian extremists: Report
 
LAGOS, NIGERIA—Scores of girls and young women kidnapped from a school in Nigeria are being forced to marry their Islamic extremist abductors, a civic organization reported Wednesday.

At the same time, the Boko Haram terrorist network is negotiating over the students' fate and is demanding an unspecified ransom for their release, a Borno state civic leader told The Associated Press.

I was listening to the BBC, and the sources for these reports seem to be just rumours.


This article even admits:
Quote:
It was not possible to verify the reports



The article you posted seems a bit confused, are they being 'forced' to marry, 'sold' or 'paid'?

The students are being paid 2,000 naira ($12) to marry the fighters, Halite Aliyu of the Borno-Yobe People's Forum told The Associated Press.

An update on muslim atrocities and schoolkids

Boko Haram holding 223 girls captive
Published: 9:40 am, Saturday, 3 May 2014 -

Nigerian police say Boko Haram militants are holding 223 girls of the 276 seized from their school in the country's northeast, revising upwards the number of youngsters abducted.

School and government officials in the northeastern state of Borno had previously given lower figures on the numbers being held since the mass abduction nearly three weeks ago in the town of Chibok.

Gunmen believed to be Islamist fighters stormed the girls' boarding school, forcing them from their dormitories onto trucks and driving them into the bush after a gun battle with soldiers.

Borno state police commissioner Lawan Tanko said on Friday his officers and other security agencies revised the figure after 'intensive and extensive investigation, consultations and collation of figures from parents and the school'.

'So far, we have a comprehensive list of 276 girls abducted from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok on April 14 and out of this figure, 53 were able to escape and return,' he told AFP.

'The number of girls being held by their abductors stands at 223 but this figure is not exhaustive and may change because we have made an announcement calling on parents whose daughters are missing from the school to come forward and register their names.

'We have documented all the 53 girls that escaped.

'A spokesman for Borno state governor said in the days after the abduction that 129 girls were taken and 52 escaped, leaving 77 with the abductors.

But the school principal disputed the figures, maintaining that 230 girls were kidnapped, out of which 43 escaped while 187 were taken away.

Tanko blamed the discrepancy on the fact that the students were from various schools in the area and had been transferred to Chibok to sit their final exams because of Boko Haram violence elsewhere in the state.

Student records were also burnt in a fire that destroyed a large part of the school after the attack, he added.

The girls' abduction has triggered global outrage and prompted protests in a number of Nigerian cities, calling on the government to secure their release.

Nigeria's information minister, Labaran Maku, said on Friday that President Goodluck Jonathan chaired a top-level meeting with the military and security chiefs to review progress on a possible rescue mission.

The government has denied charges from the girls' families that they have mishandled the situation and Maku said 'extensive and intensive aerial surveillance' had been carried out around Chibok and the border regions.

Search teams were also combing 'all reported places that the girls might have been taken to'. -

A team of US experts has been sent to Nigeria to help find more than 200 schoolgirls abducted last month by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

US President Barack Obama said the team comprised personnel from military, law enforcement and other agencies.

He said he hoped the kidnapping might galvanise the international community to take action against Boko Haram.

Earlier, it emerged that eight more girls had been abducted in north-eastern Nigeria by suspected militants.

The latest kidnapping happened on Sunday night in the village of Warabe in Borno state. The girls taken were aged between 12 and 15.

“Start Quote
US Secretary of State John Kerry. 6 May 2014

    President Goodluck Jonathan was very happy to receive this offer and ready to move on it immediately”

US Secretary of State John Kerry

On Monday, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau threatened to "sell" more than 230 girls seized from their school, also in Borno, on 14 April.

Growing international outrage led the US to offer the Nigerian government help and, on Tuesday, Mr Obama confirmed that the offer had been accepted.

"We have already sent in a team to Nigeria... a combination of military, law enforcement, and other agencies who are going in, trying to identify where in fact these girls might be," he said.

Mr Obama described the abduction as "heartbreaking" and "outrageous" and denounced Boko Haram as "one of the worst regional... terrorist organisations".

But he added: "This may be the event that helps to mobilise the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organisation that's
perpetrated such a terrible crime."

Hopefully. Boko Haram have been running rampant, terrorizing at will for a few years now. Its a sad reflection on how badly Nigeria has descended in recent times - such that now it can almost be described as a failed state. In the south and west, you've got Dutch Shell running their own virtual state and in the north terrorists running rampant. And in between the government is completely impotent.

Video looked fake to me - some b-grade actor scratching his head not looking very convincing at all.

The Nigerian army was supposed to have killed this Shekau character some time ago.
