I agree. In Catholic corners, we've been hearing about this since the early 90's, from Priests who worked there as missionaries or through work with aid groups. Many have been forced to leave. And some of us know of a Priest or worker who disappeared. In the Catholic community, and other Christian as well, we have been caring for years, begging the MSM to show just a little interest, to use their influence to get the problem noticed. Nothing. I don't know what it will take.

In all fairness, I don't think they're ignored because they're black, it's because they don't want to bring up the awkward and incendiary facts about Christians being persecuted and martyred for their faith by the evil mohammedans. But they are.
Unless they can come up with some way to blame it on the United States.
The Arab: At your feet or at your throat. Indeed it is long past time to give Abdul a thrashing.
Arm the Christians.
The Bible predicted over 2,000 years ago that Christians would be vilified and defiled and slaughtered for their faith and belief in Jesus Christ. What we are seeing is merely more proof of the Bible's perfect Truth as God's infallible Word.
It's only a matter of thime before it happens here, too. Chritians are already defiled and vilified for our faith right here in the good ole U S of A.
Why not arm them? Because Chritians are taught in the Bible that we will be hated and even killed by the world, and to not only expect it, but to embrace it. It is our way of sharing in Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
If someone tries to kill me or my family for our possessions, I have a Biblical right to defend myself and my family. If someone tries to kill me for my faith, I am to submit willingly in the precious Name of Jesus, and in His Blood. Christians only die from this life into eternal life with Christ. Muslims (and Atehists) die to an eternity in Hell. Death for a Christian is birth into life with Jesus.
That's why, Lesser_Satan. True Christians in America are no less Christian than those in Africa or anywhere else. We're just a little less persecuted... so far.

I hear you, and I'm reminded of Polycarp, but I also remember Samson, and what he did when he was persecuted. Took out an entire arena of them. These people can't just die en masse, I say let them protect themselves.
PING... MAYBE THE MEDIA WILL CATCH THIS

"They are begging for another Crusade!"
If we're gonna do that then lets head south through Mexico first and then swing east.
Oh, dear. This is disturbing to read. I can't explain the media's silence on various topics, except it's political and they don't want to report to the world what a menace Islam poses to all of us.
Stay safe, anonymoussierra.
No, I think that it's the muslims who are subhuman zombies, since it's not the media who is burning down buildings, taking hostages and murdering people in hand to hand combat.
Figuratively, yes, but the actual murders take precedence to my view.
--I'd rank the muslims as the subhuman zombies
and
--the media as the barbarians.
"killed by muslims" as search terms produced these many pages of results...
"I can't explain the media's silence on various topics, except it's political and they don't want to report to the world what a menace Islam poses to all of us." Thank you dear (*Peach*)
