I could not have said it better. Have to add my voice loudly and clearly – “It is time for the Muslims to stand up together in outrage about the filth that is done in the name of our religion.
We demand that Boko Haram brings these girls back to their families, to their childhood, and to their education!
We demand that Boko Haram and groups like it STOP misappropriating Islam for their agendas!”

As the world waits and worries over the fate of the girls who were abducted on April 14 from a school in Nigeria, a terrorist group, Boko Haram, steps forward and claims responsibility for the repulsive act.

What’s been done in the name of liberation? And in the name of civilization? And in the name of race? And in the name of peace?

Wow, those are amazing lyrics. Especially the last line! Thank you so much for sharing.
Yes, I am beyond angry and incredibly sad. Can’t imagine what those poor girls are going through. Shame on all the leaders of the world, and especially the Muslim world! Allah musta’an ( a phrase my Palestinian friends say a lot and I learned from them… means ‘God is the one who helps and we seek His help’)
