Nearly 300 kidnapped girls is just a distraction?

Well, what I say is this is just a distraction tool to distract people away from the importance of the Russiawarproblem.

What a sad world we live in.

Well, when you put it that way, I don't know which side sounds worse...
Though it is quite cruel to pry on the weak in that way, and then indoctrinate them through false friendship.

Wow, you have strong feelings for this I suspect. I wouldn't go as far as suggesting they should all die. Surely if they were indoctrinated into committing such acts, they can be brought back to rational thought??
As U.S. policymakers become increasingly uneasy about the fate of the remaining detainees currently held at Guantánamo Bay, greater attention is being paid to so-called jihadist rehabilitation programs that have been established abroad. Numerous governments, including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Singapore, Canada, and Britain, have established programs that seek either to rehabilitate Islamist terrorists or to prevent further radicalization of jihadist sympathizers. Different states tailor their programs to the mores, laws, and needs of their societies. Muslim-majority countries concentrate on radicals who have either crossed the line into actual terrorist activities or who are active members in Islamist organizations deemed to be a threat to the state. Western initiatives focus instead on individuals who may seek camaraderie with extremist groups online or at local mosques; their programs seek to forestall further radicalization. While there is a clear divergence in approach, both must answer the same question: Have their efforts been successful or have they merely released detainees into their respective societies who feign detoxification but whose commitment to jihad has merely gone underground? The wrong answer to this question poses a serious threat to global, as well as local security.
I agree 100%.

It is disgusting and I won't disagree with you on that!
However, why didn't we hear about the Christian girls being murdered in Syria by the American armed Freedom fighters??
Horrible acts are just that! Horrible acts! My issue is how they are spoon fed to us thru the MSM. It's disingenuous to find one horrible and the other acceptable!

Ummm, ok?
I am going to need a little bit of an explanation as to what that rant has to do with anything.
I dont care what religion the girls are. 300 kidnapped girls in danger of being sold into slavery is a bad thing, a very bad thing, and not just a distraction.

That doesnt change my position one bit, though. 300 kidnapped girls is not 'just a distraction' as someone put it.
In fact, Id argue that a great many things are 'distractions' from the HELL that many kids live in around the world. I dont care if they are kidnapped by boko haram or killed by obamas drones.
KIDS DONT DESERVE THIS. There is very little that is more important than the children of the world.
Well, considering the kidnappers are a 'political' (i use the term loosely) organization, theres really no other way to see it.
So then you and I can agree that no matter how perverted and wrong this situation is that it is politically motivated???
Thats what I am saying, though. This is nothing new. That doesnt make it not worthy of attention.
As much as I know you hate it being called a distraction, if you look at the atrocities of the past and nothing was said in the MSM about it, the timing of this issue is what I question?
Ive studied DynCorp for a long time. I know plenty about them, as well as Evergreen, and many other corporations involved in human trafficking.
Do some research on DynCorp and the child prostitution they were involved in!
Which, again, is my point. A great many things are used as distractions from the attack on the children in the world that has been going on for a long time.
Guess what? When someone came forward with the evidence the US government covered it up!
What agenda is that?
This is nothing new! It is a horrible fact and way of life that our governments cover up until it can be used as a political ploy to advance their sick agenda.
The thing is, though, that this was not news for quite a while after it happened. It was only after some celebrities took up a campaign to draw attention to it that it actually got a place in the media cycle.
Again, I hate these scumbags for what they are doing to children! I am just addressing the hypocrisy. If I was healthy enough and the government wanted to gear me up to kill some radical Islamists to save these girls I would gladly volunteer! But first, I would ask them, "WHY NOW?"!
From what I have seen, they didnt want this getting attention, but it did anyway
Again, I agree. I still dont see how that makes it not worthy of our attention.

Of course they didn't!
Why? Because Hillary Clinton refused to designate them as a "terrorist organization"!
Our government knew a long time ago about the atrocities these scumbags have been responsible for and did NOTHING!
Why now?
I think you above quote I replied to explains it quite clearly. They had too!

As I said, this happens all the time. And no one cares.
We are being distracted from whats happening to our kids. Not the other way around.

I think really we are arguing semantics at this point.
I dont disagree that the timing needs some more investigation.
My issue is simply the use of the term 'distraction'. It diminishes the importance of these events.

Im still missing what it is that you are directing to me here.
Are you implying that obama would help them if they were muslim? How does that fit in with the hundreds of mulsim kids he's killed with drones? Do you think I am going to defend Obama? Or is this just another case of "christians are treated soooo poorly"
The fact of the matter is, I believe there should be MUCH more outrage over this. I am disgusted at how much it has been swept under the rug.
And the worst part about it? It is but a blip on the radar. This happens all the time. Conscription, causalties of war, kidnapping, slavery, sex trade....the kids of the world are under attack.
And NO ONE FREAKING CARES.
All you get is morons saying "its a distraction".
I weep for the future of this planet.
