Nigeria's government defends its actions as more girls are abducted

Abuja, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nigeria defended its response to the kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls by the terror group Boko Haram, even as details emerged Tuesday about a second mass abduction, adding to a growing global outrage over the fate of the children.

President Goodluck Jonathan has been under fire over accusations the government initially ignored and then later downplayed the abduction of the girls, who have become the focal point of a social media campaign demanding their safe return.

"The President and the government (are) not taking this as easy as people all over the world think," Doyin Okupe, a spokesman for Jonathan told CNN.

"We've done a lot -- but we are not talking about it. We're not Americans. We're not showing people, you know, but it does not mean that we are not doing something."

How come all the moderate muslim imam’s aren’t speaking out? No word from CAIR? No protests from all the reverends? The religion of peace in action.

White liberals only consider other less liberal whites their opposition, so basically any non-white doesn’t have to listen to them.

Silence from alleged , fake, moderate Muslims. All Muslims believe in Jihad .

Mad Mo had a 9 year old wife.

Slavery is ok, too, with Muslims and feminists ?

It seems the perpetually aggrieved have no problem with black Africans held in slavery TODAY. They sure can bitch about something that happened 150 years ago.

".....No word from CAIR?"......

Actually, CAIR did get around to condemning the kidnappings on Monday, about 2 weeks after the event. Meanwhile the OIC (Organization for Islamic Cooperation), made up of 56 "Islamic Countries" is still trying to figure out if it's a serious departure from Islamic standards.

If Islam is the “Religion of Peace, “how come the “moderate muslims” never send missionaries to these countries to explain to the unenlightened muslims living there the way of the “true faith?”
