Yeah, I'm not arguing in favor of the Muslim religion over other religions or defending Islam. I don't subscribe to any religion.
The question was, "where's the Islamic outcry?". I addressed that question.
And, pointed out to Six, who claims to find racism intolerable, that it doesn't take white folks to show colored folks right from wrong and motivate an outcry. That's not what happened here.
I'm equally intolerant of all terrorists and violent criminals, regardless of their backgrounds and their proclaimed motivations and rationalizations. I hope the Nigerian girls are safely rescued -- if that means all of the Boko Haram members are killed, fine by me. If they instead go to trial, get convicted, and are punished harshly, okay too. If some Muslim leaders want to try to show them the "true path" while they're rotting in jail cells, that doesn't bother me either.
Regarding excommunication, I'm not sure, but I get the sense that Muslim leaders are not recognizing them in the first place based on the public statements of disapproval and claims that Boko Haram's actions go against Islamic teachings.
