Hollywood celebrities, including Sean Penn, Justin Timberlake, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Foxx, and others are tweeting photos of themselves holding a sign saying "Real Men Don't Buy Girls." Islamic scholars agree.
International organization for Islamic Affairs has also condemned the kidnapping of the School Girls in Chibok, Borno state, Nigeria.
We're talking about Boko Haram, the Islamist militant group that's taken nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls captive. The group, which opposes secular Western education (among other things) has been active in Nigeria for years. But as The Christian Science Monitor's reporter in Nigeria explains,
"The numbers of those being killed by the Boko Haram insurgents, combined with the grisly operations they engineered, reached a critical mass after nearly 10 months of ever more horrific attacks on civilians, churches, boys, roadways, mosques, and bus stations."
