'I will sell them,' Boko Haram leader says of kidnapped Nigerian girls

[JohnR! 5,495]

I think it's the lesser of two evils for these guys. They don't like foreigners, but even more they don't like women who stand up for themselves. These guys want to be in control. So they find women to marry from cultures where women are either oppressed or are used to the man calling the shots. Once they get what they want, it's everyone else stay out.

I make mine your words.

This I know all too well. Most of these people wouldn't say this mess to my face, and I'm a nice guy in real life.

Go make me a sammich! See, I can still do the whole sexism thing.

great job! I see you like pretending when you are at home.

From what I've witnessed, the guys are actually more devious than that. They don't meet the woman and assume control at first. In the beginning, they are sweet and kind. They are generous to her and her family. They act like they are the perfect gentleman. Then, when she's here and all alone...that's when they start treating her like #######.

You are right, it is all about control. But they go about it in the most evil way imaginable.

Damn right, my wife would beat the sleeves off me if I said that out loud, or my mother, or both at the same time.

No doubt that's part of the equation too B_J and that's what makes them cowardly. They could probably never get the woman or her family to agree to marry and move to the US if they showed their real selves up front.

Awesome.. so are we all done patting ourselves on the back and giving love points for being enlightened while trashing everyone and their motives with whom we disagree?

Super group here.

I dunno, are you done getting your undies in a bunch?

There's nothing that was said that isn't true.

Which motives and which people patted their backs? So much of this going around lately.

This title doesn't match the article btw. I assume it was changed for a reason.

I think the point is this:

If you're going to post to a discussion forum, expect some discussion to take place. The OP didn't post this to discuss. It was to bash muslims. Period. This the 4th time he's done this, because this is the 4th time I've debunked his silly claim that muslims remained silent on the subject. This thread is on page 7, and not a peep. No, my bad or sorry about my mistake. There's no learning to be had here, their minds were made up a long time ago. And as your sig suggests, even with a mountain of proof, they still won't believe it.

My religion, my race, and even my character is questioned here daily. Some of these threads are started because of me. Yet, I will always be willing to engage anyone in an intelligent debate. Even though those same people wouldn't afford me the same courtesy.

Probably because evil Muslims kidnapping girls was taken or something.

From my perspective Islam is particularly bad because of its inherent conservatism.

I suppose "conservatism" is subjective...even for Muslims..?

It's stories like these which make the line blurred.

"Now the sultan is making headlines for implementing Sharia law in Brunei, including a new penal code that includes stoning to death for adultery, cutting off limbs for theft, and flogging for violations such as abortion, alcohol consumption, and homosexuality. There’s also capital punishment for rape and sodomy."

(please watch the article's video - I wonder if the UN will heed the call?)

You know what the sad thing is? If you take out Islam and sell this as a regular story, some of the conservatives here would be on board for this type of existence.
