Here again we see the rule that non-Muslim leaders and spokesmen accept with increasing alacrity: do not offend Islam. These protests not only embarrass the Nigerian government by highlighting its powerlessness against a jihad group; they also bring unwelcome attention to the phenomenon of Qur’anically-sanctioned sex slavery in Islam (4:3), which no one wants to discuss or acknowledge. Better to arrest Naomi Mutah Nyadar than to let international attention be focused on that.
“Nigeria police arrest protest leader for abducted girls,” Reuters, May 5, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell):
ABUJA (Reuters) – Nigerian authorities have arrested a leader of a protest last week in the capital Abuja that called on them to do more to find more than 200 girls abducted by Islamist rebels, a presidency source and another organizer of the protest said on Monday.
Boko Haram insurgents, who want to carve an Islamic state out of Nigeria, stormed a secondary school in the village of Chibok, northeast Nigeria, on April 14. They carted off the girls in trucks and nothing has been heard of them since.
The police spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the arrest, but the presidency source said Naomi Mutah Nyadar had been detained for allegedly and falsely claiming to be the mother of one of the missing girls.
Nyadar was picked up late on Sunday after a meeting she and other campaigners had held with President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience, concerning the girls.
She was taken to Asokoro police station, near the presidential villa, said fellow protester Lawan Abana, whose two nieces are among the abductees.
“Ms Naomi was arrested yesterday evening,” he told Reuters by telephone. “We are begging them to save our daughters. Instead of taking steps to rescue them they are jailing us.”
The presidency source said: “(Nyadar) was arrested because of impersonation. She claimed that she was one of the girls’ mothers, so she’s just being questioned by the police.”
Abana denied Nyadar had made any such claim.
“They are claiming it is a hoax and that her daughter was not abducted. But when we say ‘bring back our daughters’ the campaign means it in the broader sense of ‘daughters of Nigeria’,” Abana said. “They are so clueless.”…

Kerry actually protested this emphatically, believe it or not. But somehow I doubt there will be much of a big deal made out of it as it doesn’t fit the Western racism category that generally defines liberal outrage. Now, if the Tea Party had abducted these girls…
Jay Boo says
Kerry could no longer ignore it.
A triple lightning strike
A social media tidal wave broke and that was followed by Hollywood celebs and even the Huff Post being force to take a stand.

But keep in mind: this mass kidnapping has nothing at all to do with Islam; because, as Pope Francis assures us: “…authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”(n. 253).
Kidnapping and the forcible rape of innocent teenage girls is certainly a “form of violence”. Therefore no part of this incident can be attributed to Islam.
Glad we have the Pope on our side to help us understand these things.
veggiedog says
@ Joseph, Pope, President, Congress, public, nobody wants to actually admit the truth.

Hello Joseph —
Your dark cynical humor is gratefully received by me…
What is the point of pretending that the Pope would ever develop a spine and speak accurately about Islam ?
We must laugh bitterly instead at the folly of Rome — as thousands of innocents suffer…
Beth says
Here is something that I believe this latest generation has lost sight of (and it is offensive to many – so, just be warned)
Want your prayers to be heard?
Mat 23:9 call no man your (spiritual) father upon the earth: for one is your (spiritual) Father, which is in heaven. (Words of Christ)
The title “Pope” means “Papa” in Italian. It’s the same thing as calling someone “your father” in the spiritual sense.
When we pray – we are told to pray in this way: “Our Father, Who is in heaven”…and we are not to ask Jesus for anything – rather, we are to pray in His name – to the Father:
Jhn 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
The prayers of those who pray in this manner – are presenting prayers that are affective – and acceptable – for those who believe. This is important to know.
And know this:
Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Psa 40:4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust (And so is the nation that does the same).
I share this – in the hope that people will start saying the right kind of prayers. Because, Lord knows we need them.
No offense intended.
Boaz says
Offense? No, Beth, you NAILED it!

God bless you.

Joshua says
The police have denied arresting Naomi. She was only invited for questioning. Nigerian govt did not arrest her to appease the muslims.
Beth says
I’ve been thinking about this one for days. I can not imagine what it must be like for the parents of those girls.
This here – is a reason (a good one) for going to war. I have noticed, that America’s ‘mainscream’ media has had not too much too say for those young girls – and I’m not surprised (shame to say).
Oh, If there were a leader for America – that would see this as a reason for going to war – we’d be living in a better country.
I say – take those kidnapping thugs out (yes, slaughter them) and rescue those girls – immediately!!! – letting all those who support the thugs – that we’re not gonna take your evil anymore!
This would be a day worth celebrating – and I pray for it.
GOOD! on you JW – for reporting it.

I was at a doctors office today and they had CNN on. Now I live in a very left area. This women in her late ’60s was moaning that they had the news playing and this story has been on all day. I asked her if they had speculated as to who kidnapped these girls. She looked at me like ‘who cares’. Then i said at least they are playing CNN and not FOX, to this I could see she approved. People here have no clue, so how do we convince the public of a problem they have no desire to be informed about. The stupidity of people, the naivety never ceases to amaze me.
Bettina says
To which allow me to add, Veggie Dog:
Well beyond stupidity and “naivete” (really, ignorance) Americans are as addicted to quick news sound bites as they are to fast food. Most of our powder-puff population seek self-gratification and hedonism in most aspects of living. Buffered in this way against the harshest of realities, they’ve become increasingly immune to awareness, across the board of real issues.
This social syndrome is very sad to watch. It might just contribute greatly to any possible future downfall of America.

veggiedog, I think this woman’s appalling attitude goes *way* beyond being clueless—instead, it was utterly callous.
If she had merely been clueless she would have been concerned for the poor girls, but just parrot the idea that Boko Haram has ‘hijacked a great religion’, and have no idea that these abductions, rapes, and selling into sex slavery are perfectly Halal and done on the model of the “Prophet”.
What this moral idiot does not realize is that pious Muslims would be perfectly happy to *do this here*—and with the “grooming” abuse of young Infidel girls by Muslims in Great Britain, we are not that far off…
veggiedog says
gravenimage, i cannot dissagree with on word. I was appalled but have learned about time and place and trying to talk to those that do not choose to see.

This is written at 5:38 pm Eastern US time —
ABC World News (with Diane Sawyer ) will have a report on this tonight (6:30 Eastern) ….
Tune in and watch — just to see how closely Islam is connected with the “sell into slavery” aspect. But do not hold your breath that culturally-sensitive news writers / produces at ABC would EVER offend Muslims by telling the truth…
Jay Boo says
I was not able to see this but I assume it could be no worse than the following:

here in the Americas, the Native Americans and their allies are dealing with islam Properly. meaning, scalping them, neutering them and nailing scalps and scrotums to mosque doors…while the media stays oh so carefully silent.
The plan, very simple, they will be killing off islam across the Americas, and those who want to avoid such better recall the Warning they gave, because when the Time of Amnesty is done, they’re going to start Cleansing islam from THEIR lands, and that also applies to any and all who side with or speak for islam.
Considring there’s way over a Million of them, all VERY pissed off with islam and the treacherous governments that have been screwing them over for centuries, there’s not a damn thing that can stop them, and they’ve told the UN point-blank that any ‘peacekeepers’ WILL be killed on-sight.
Welcome to the Native Spring, and the Reclamation of The Americas.
How long did the Liberals think they could pander to muzzies, invite them in to Native Lands and simultaneously keep f**king the Natives over??
Well, doesn’t matter now, and they’re not going to neotiate or ‘dialogue’ either.
SO, if you’re a muzz, or a muzz-lover…better get the hell OUT of the Americas.
gravenimage says
What the hell are you talking about? The idea that Native Americans are castrating and scalping Muslims en masse is just ludicrous—as is the idea that the media would keep it quiet. Ridiculous.
