I find what is happening in so many African countries terrifying. The world wide implications are huge, but I have no answers about how 'we' can make a difference. Well, other than using every diplomatic channel available, and also encouraging moderate Muslims to speak out, loudly - their voice is deafening me. Is this because the media isn't reporting such comments?

News & politics
Absolutely. Children doing a cookery contest, students asleep (if proven).
Coward is too good a name for them but I would offend some if I called them what I really want to. 
Just imagine if we woke up one morning to hear that news about Cambridge, Leicester, Newcastle, Edinburgh. I can't think of the word that would possibly describe what we would be feeling as a country.
Sadly there will be a very small minority who would think it was justified. Think of Gunner Lee Rigby.
I despair 
No! How much more of this?
I despair. Now we are getting reports that Boko Haram have killed 50 students in a college in Nigeria. The report is saying they shot the students in their dorms whilst they were sleeping. I know more has to come out on this story but for goodness sake when and where will these 'cowards' be stopped. How can they be stopped. Beyond frightening.
