New Lows

Last year, a bunch of Nigerian school girls were kidnapped.

Possible motives: forced prostitution and/or hostage-for-hostage exchange.

Now Boko Haram and his gangs got creative: they turned young girls into bomb-strapped terrorists.

They probably watched “Naked Weapons”, a Hong Kong made movie with Nigerian dubs.

Modernity is threatened and modern men are terrorized in public places.

So, the French are marching, like The Network (movie version) with French subtitles “We won’t take it anymore”.

And we shouldn’t when humanity, through these acts, sinks to new lows.

We can’t be polite and engage in a public discourse with these people, whose only rule is no rule.

No empathy, no right or wrong.

When the France public square begins to look like Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” march, we do have hope.

Somehow, the scenes in Paris were transformed, from A Moveable Feast to a Movement for terrorist-free living.

It has to be that way, if we are to continue with our way of life.

Our collective wisdom should lead the way and show us out of this mess. Not blowing up innocent people with bombs strapped around kidnapped school girls, but by educating them the best way we know how.
