USA Today<\/a> posted a story today about the young girls in Nigeria<\/a> who were kidnapped by Boko Haram<\/a>. Boko Haram is translated as “western education is a sin.” The group is a militant Islamic<\/a> group that operates in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In the video, Shekau described the girls as slaves and said, “By Allah<\/a>, I will sell them in the marketplace.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unconfirmed reports last week said the girls were being sold as brides for $12 each.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal of Boko Haram is to”destroy the secular Nigerian state” and replace it with an Islamic state<\/a>, said John Campbell, former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mass abduction isn’t the first time Boko Haram has targeted students. In February, the group shot or burned to death nearly 60 boys<\/a> in northeast Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no prohibition of slavery in Islam<\/a>. The girls were taken by men posing as Nigerian military who said they wanted to take the girls to safety.<\/p>\n

Yesterday ABC News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

The students were studying for final exams at their local school when the abduction happened.\u00a0One girl told\u00a0the New Yorker<\/a>\u00a0that militants dressed in Nigerian military uniforms came into their dorms and told the girls they were being taken to a safe space. They were placed in trucks and on motorcycles and driven away as the militants shouted \u201cAllahu akbar<\/a>,\u201d which means God is great. Some managed to escape by jumping off the caravans and running away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The Northern States Christian and Elders Forum, a group of elders in the state where the girls were taken, released a list of 180 names that were confirmed to be among the missing and said that a majority of them are Christian.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under Sharia Law, girls are not supposed to be educated, and Christians can be sold as slaves. The concept of equal rights for women is not part of Islamic law.<\/p>\n
