Analyst's note: John Bernard provides additional comments on the article 220 schoolgirls haven't been 'abducted' by Boko Haram, they have been enslaved as follows:
"I'm getting a little tired of being preached to about my apparent lack of compassion for the poor and oppressed in the world. But it is particularly aggravating when the "preacher" is a media-type who is admonishing us because we seem to be more concerned about our personal income and fortunes rather than the plight of some 220 Nigerian school girls, taken by Boko Haram and this, he gleans by a reported lack of funds to self-proclaimed charitable organizations.
It hasn't donned on him that these same western, charitable organizations, their presence and their goods might incite yet more violence against the Christian community these donated goods would be ear marked for.
Lastly; until he figures out who the enemy really is, he is as much a danger to western civilization as Islam - and our confused government."
Please open and read the full additional insight to include the actual meaning of "Boko Haram." For yet additional perspective, may I also recommend U.S. Army admits to widespread cultural pedophilia in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabian Muslim men gang rape three year old Girl as well as Saudi Arabia: Islamic cleric rapes, tortures, kills daughter, pays fine.
Afghanistan: An Islamic culture where "Women are for children, boys are for pleasure."
[....] As reported by yesterday by WND.com, the linkage of pedophilia and/or homosexuality directly to the Islamic belief system has prompted founder of the terrorism watchdog group Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer to state;
"By mentioning pedophilia and women’s rights and saying that soldiers should not mention such things they are tacitly admitting that those things are indeed part of Islam."
Following the well documented example of the founder of Islam, pedophilia is an accepted practice since its inception.
[....] Fundamentalist Muslim clerics throughout the nation teach the faithful that women are "unclean" and "therefore distasteful."
One unnamed Afghan was quoted as asking how his wife could become pregnant.
When explained the physical actions required, the man "reacted with disgust" and then asked;
"How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean?"

Let me clear this up for him and anyone else listening who is similarly confused; It isn't that people don't want to help. It is, however that people don't trust the true abilities, competency and veracity of those claiming to help - especially, governments. It has been proven, over and over again that these organizations which have been established for the reported purpose of aiding the afflicted, waste money at a rate slightly less than our infamous governing body in Washington DC. To add insult to injury, they are headed by CEO's or even committees stripping those donated funds to feather their grossly incongruous incomes and retirement packages.
Honorable people claiming to help don't generally ingratiate themselves in this most obscene of ways. They do like the rest of us do - they donate their time and energy and yes, their incomes! But it seems the majority of the leaders of these "charities" are simply establishing a comfortable business position and fattening their resumes.
It was also discouraging to see Cohen added to the endless list of people displaying the same aversion to accuracy that this government has regularly; he seems to lack the courage to define the literal enemy in this story looking instead to rail against a microcosm; Boko Haram.
Additionally, the world government and the governments of nations saying they would help, are not truly focused on the true definitions of this enemy and as such, seek to treat Islamic combatants with "human dignity", giving them the same deference reserved for honorable men, donning the uniforms of sovereign nations.
The Ummah needs to know beyond any shadow of doubt, that to seek Allah's Paradise through death by prosecuting Jihad, will reap them an unclean and meritless death and an enemy with the tenacity of a dog with a bone who will locate, close with and destroy them until they repentantly crawl back under the Rock from whence they came.
Until these conditions are met, Mister Cohen needs to redirect his rhetorical cannon at the true enemy of compassionate giving; the politicians and those self-proclaimed agencies of mercy.
