Political correctness running amok at CNN

I am outraged at this morning coverage made by CNN about the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria. I do not know what can be done in that particular situation but starting by reporting all the facts is definitely preferable at promoting wishful thinking hash-tags. Compare with the coverage of ABC in Spain where they report on organized rapes of these girls, forced conversions, forced spousals. Then go back to the CNN page and search for, say, the word "rape". That is right, the kidnapping is a clean one, just your normal ransom search, let's not tag Islam or anything that could offend religious sensibilities. CNN just sticks to the threats of slavery from Boko Haram for these girls, as I suppose slavery is more despicable than forced rape, conversion and what not.

The bottom line is that Boko Haram sees these girls as nothing more than rustled farm animals. They don’t even rise to the domestic animal level of Muslim women in their eyes.

So the best response would be that some unnamed organization has dug a very large pit, and filled it with voracious wild pigs, and that for every girl harmed in the least, a Boko Haram man will be thrown into that pit to be devoured by the pigs. And once the fate of all the girls is known, the pigs will be killed in the pit, then buried along with any uneaten parts of the Boko Haram dispatched within.

You can be with *this* announcement, suddenly Barry would have a panic attack and demand an immediate cease fire, to protect his beloved Muslims.

The Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad (Arabic: جماعة اهل السنة للدعوة والجهاد‎ Jamāʻat Ahl as-Sunnah lid-daʻwa wal-Jihād)—better known by its Hausa name Boko Haram (pronounced [bōːkòː hàrâm], "Western education is sinful")—is an Islamic jihadist and takfiri militant and terrorist organization based in the northeast of Nigeria, north Cameroon and Niger.

Founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002, the organization seeks to establish a "pure" Islamic state ruled by sharia law, putting a stop to what it deems "Westernization". The group is known for attacking Christians and government targets, bombing churches, attacking schools and police stations, kidnapping western tourists, but has also assassinated members of the Islamic establishment. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013

Normal CNN crap.

My favorite CNN PC laugher was Don Lemon repeatedly referring to Somali pirates as “African-Americans”

Boko Haram

Islam stripped of it’s, “Can’t we all just get along?” nonsense.

It’s going to be us, or this putrid creed sooner than we think.

It will be us.

These liberals will watch their entire families be massacred in front of them before they will ever dare have a politically incorrect thought.
