We have to change the conversation

When Boko Haram kidnapped those poor girls, they threatened to SELL them and while all shed crocodile tears about how those poor girls would end in sexual servitude,  nobody was outraged.  But the truth is that there is slavery and there is market for slaves in this day and age, and the West was not outraged enough to decide to nuke the perpetrators out of existence.  There could be three reasons for why the West is so complacent with the situation, and each one of them is worse than the other:
1. The media and all those who influence the public opinion think that slavery is endemic to Africa and the Negros and thus nobody should not care - What a racist approach!
2. The media and all those who influence the public opinion think that slavery is endemic to the Islamic culture, and the Muslims are so powerful and good to do business with - What a short sighted and opportunistic approach!
3. The media and all those who influence the public opinion think that Islam is defined by poor asylum seekers, idealist Jihadists and the killing, persecution and enslavement, are all the acts of some crazy extremists...  This one is sheer stupid, but the media and all those who influence the public opinion condone this way of thought and inflict it on all of us by using '1984' style (*) Newspeak

We have to change the terminology and the conversation:

Instead of speaking about immigration and asylum, we should speak about Islamic-Colonialism!
Instead of speaking about Jihad and the Caliphate, we should speak about Islamic-Imperialism!
Instead of speaking about Boko Haram, we should speak about Islamic Lead Enslavement and Islamic Enslavement policies!
Instead of speaking about persecution of Christians in the Middle East, we should speak about Islamic lead Genocides and Islamic Genocidal Tendencies and Policies!
And instead of speaking about the Shari'a as a religious-legal system, we should speak about the Totalitarian ideology that is Islam and about the Shari'a as the manifestation of this Totalitarianism in this world 

And all of the sudden, we have Nazi Germany in Islamic garb all over again...
And we can't do business with that entity, and we can't risk giving away anybody (whether we like them or not) to that monster.  Such appeasement and complacent policies  failed with Nazi Germany and they would fail with the new Islamo-Nazi monster.

And one more comment, the behavior of ISIL and Boko Haram should show everybody that these people really say what they mean and mean what they say, and thus must be dealt with NOW and we cannot wait until they become even stronger.

(*) To the uninitiated, 1984 is George Orwell's book that deals with a totalitarian regime that. among other evil things, condone perpetuate war and enslavement with the infamous slogan:
WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
