Lebanon: University Students Protest Appointment of Christian Director
Tripoli, Feb. 3 – A number of students closed off the entrance of the College of Business Administration in Tripoli, Lebanon, calling for the immediate resignation of the newly appointed director of the school, Antoine Tanus.
His crime? He's a Christian.
In the words of the National News Agency, the students are protesting "over the hiring of a Christian director to manage the College of Business Administration."
Students said that they would continue protesting until the Christian director was removed and replaced by another, that is, a Muslim.
In related news, around the same time it was reported that hundreds of teachers in northern Kenya refused to return to work. In their case, the "strike" was a product of fear from Islamic militants who have killed dozens of non-Muslims, most of them Christians.
Boko Haram: Kidnapped Christian Girls Forced Into Islam
Boko Haram leader Abubakr Shekau appears in the following video mocking America and others for being "so concerned about those girls," a reference to the 276 Nigerian girls that Boko Haram kidnapped last April.
Shekau was probably puzzled why, of all of his Islamic organization's acts of terror targeting Christians, this particular kidnapping gained so much mainstream media attention in the West. The reason, it seems, is that the MSM, which often ignores Muslim attacks on Christians, believed that these girls were Muslim, and so reported the kidnapping as it fit their narrative, namely that Boko Haram terror does not discriminate between Christians and Muslims.
In fact, the girls were overwhelmingly Christian. It was just another Boko Haram attack targeting Christians — very minor compared to other attacks (hence Shekau's bewilderment at Western media concern). After the kidnapping, Shekau declared on video, “I abducted your girls. I will sell them on the market, by Allah….There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell.”
Now, in this video, he says, in between laughter, that the girls have converted to Islam. Earlier reports indicate that several of the Christian girls were sold on the market as sex slaves.
