Daily Mail: #BringBackOurGirls: Michelle Obama and Malala join campaign to free 276 Nigerian teenagers kidnapped by Islamic extremists - "In a video, Shekau declares: 'I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah.'" (I've heard it said that Muslim men are appalled at the way Western men disrespect their women, expecting them to show their faces, etc. So their answer is selling girls into slavery?)
