#2 Dear Dawn writer - the Muslim world is silent because they fully agree with it - 'tacit' approval, my ass.

#3 Reader comments atre mixed. manyn approve but many come wih the usual takiyah. However we must remind this is a newsperr in English so what we have is a sample of literate english-speaking pakistanis who have an internet connection not sample of Pakistani public opinion.

#4 If Christians/Hindus/Jews/Budhists are attacking muslims they speak out.The other way round they remain silent.

Bottom line some/many people in the Muslim world want Islam to be the only religion on this planet.

#7 debasement of their religion

Sorry guys but this is a distillation of what true Islam is all about. The essence of the moon-god cult on public display concentrated as the flavor in a wine-reduction sauce.

#8 Many Muslims are decent people _despite_ Islam but they are in denial about their religion. Boko Haram is merely imitating Muhammad's example as evidenced by any biography of him even those approved by the highest Muslim instances;

#9 Doesn't the Quran say that captured women can be used any way the captors wish? Used as concubines, sold as slaves, whatever. Boko Haram is just imitating the Prophet(bpuh).

#10 yes Rambler,

the Quran 4:24 and 23:5-6 combined with supporting hadith and exegesis pretty clearly allow kidnapping of infidel women and their use as sex slaves

it is, however, not clear if the sex slaves may be beaten for the pleasure of their kidnapper nor whether they may be beaten for not working as hard as the kidnapper would want

in this case, also, I think the sex slaves are being passed around within the kidnapping party; this I think is prohibited as the Quran and supporting verses assume that one individual owns each slave rather than owning them in common

#11 The head 'boko' (who couldn't stop scratching himself) said that the girls had been married off to the other 'bokos', so it is all 'halal'. I have had personal interaction with three muslim men. They were all deceitful. One was all happy that he was shortly going to palestine to marry his 12 year old brokered bride.

#12 In the west they go by names like Warren Jeffs. The difference being, in the west, they actually hunt them down and put them away.
