Why is terror group not on terror list?
By CNN's Jake Tapper
At least 20 students were killed in northern Nigeria last week when Islamic militants razed their boarding school, prompting British authorities to label the group thought to be responsible, Boko Haram, a terrorist organization.
But the Obama administration has not done the same.
When asked about the attack, a senior Obama administration official said that the United States is "deeply concerned" about extremism in Nigeria, and pointed to the history of cooperation between the U.S. and Nigeria on security issues.
"We are working closely with the Nigerian government to address the growing threat of violent extremism throughout Nigeria," the senior official said, adding that the U.S. also supports vocational training programs to help discourage radicalization and recruitment throughout Nigeria.

The word TERRORIST and all variations of the word aren't in the liberal dictionary.
@California,your sand dune is ready ,go jump back in it!!
Why aren't republicans on the terrorist list? They've done more damage to this country than Bin Laden ever dreamed of.
This administration will not condemn this terrorists group because the president is a Muslim and he will do his best to ignore or support them ....
Well the GOP seem to escape being on the list too. Hahahahahahahahha
No one practicing Taqiyya today?

When has the U.S. ever used isolationism?
Myself I would love to see the U.S. make the boarders a dmz. Anyone is welcome but you have to do it the right/legal way. Cut off all aid and use our money on our country. Only attack when attacked but if actions are taken make them extreme and decisive.

not necessary you should always call spade a spade. If they attack US interests, they are terrorists.......else they are freedom fighters, and we should back them to topple unfriendly governments. What do you say Phunnie boy?
Terrorist groups are so labeled when the American government says so..They wrote the rules of this game years ago and that's why its been this way ever since...Remember there wouldn't be terrorists internationally going after us and others if we just kept our noses out of other countrys business like we should be doing..We are our own worse enemy remember that!!!
Yes because isolationism has worked so well in the past.
@Mike in Wa,explain to me your definition of isolationism because its with America trading,people immigrating here,there and communicating internationally for over a century this word you and everyone keep refering too is rediculous as well as misleading unless you're on the freakin moon ...You want a fence around our entire country including Alaska,Hawaii as well!!Now that's isolationism smart guy!!

Hey Pete....Muslims are going after everybody because the Koran demands that they infiltrate and eventually they will rule the world....to do that the USA must be neutralized, and they will do that any way they can and at any cost
@Alf564,America is its own worse enemy in meddling into every other countrys business..If we could stop the meddling maybe these terrorist you say want us gone would go back to the caves they once came out from ,right!!And Muslims aren't generally violent,we made them that way in invading their countrys for no reason most times ...Read up on how we invaded Iraq and others for our own greed ,ignorence,research it then you'll agree with me!!
Because they're not terrible enough.
