Christians Massacred, Media Look the Other Way
The Gatestone Institute ^ | September 8, 2019 | Giulio Meotti

Posted on 09/08/2019 11:02:40 AM PDT by yoe

"In the same week as the awful attack on the mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand... more than two hundred Christians were killed in Nigeria. There was hardly any mention of the latter in the news. There were no marches for martyred Christians, no tolling of church bells ordered by governments, no 'Je suis Charlie' t-shirts... no public outrage at all." — Fr. Benedict Kiely, Crisis Magazine, September 4, 2019

NASA's satellites observed the Amazon fires, prompting world leaders to pledge to protect the rainforest. But the burning, chopping and murder of Christians is not tracked by satellites and their suffering is not seen on our televisions and newspapers. Actually, it seems in the West as if the persecution of Christians does not even exist.

The Vatican and Pope Francis have a choice: to shed light on these persecuted Christians or be accused of willful blindness.... The Vatican should dedicate the next synod to them.

("the Islamist extremists) broke into homes, grabbed the women and dragged them to the outskirts of Gagalari town in the district of Yagoua where they sliced off one ear from each victim." A few days later, also in Cameroon, a Bible translator, Angus Fung, was butchered to death and his wife's arm cut off. Then, a Catholic priest, David Tanko, was killed in Nigeria and his car and body set ablaze. Last month, another Nigerian priest, Paul Offu, was murdered. Last year, two Catholic priests and 13 worshippers were among the victims in a single attack in Nigeria.

Islam silences its enemy, Christianity, by killing or maiming Christians or anyone of another faith who believe in the Holy Trinity, not Islam. The media and apparently the Pope have submitted to Islam...

The media and all Leftists believe that Christians deserve whatever they get, as long as it is pure evil, even genocidal.

14 centuries of Muslims killing somewhere and they’re victims.

The left see Christians as the enemy so they side with the enemy to battle what they presume is their enemy the Christians and when the dust settles they will be the next in line to go.

Agree to an extent.

More pessimistic than that here.

The Leftists here actually agree with the terrorists around the world.

They are trying hard to bring all their beliefs here.

Of course they will be purged too. We’re on the same page there.

It’s just that I don’t believe they are only siding with the enemies of Christians to achieve anti-Christian goals.

No, they don’t see the terrorists as equal to or worse than Christians. They are totally in sync with them.

Obama funded and armed two terrorist organizations. He gave rules of engagement that favored terrorists. He brought members of terrorist groups here, met with them in the Oval Office, and placed them on committees in Washington, D. C. He respected CAIR, sheltered them.

When our ambassador was under attack in Benghazi, neither Obama or any of his subordinates lifted one finger against the terrorists.

Congress stood by and rubber stamped that inaction.

Congress watched as he gave $150 billion to Iran without an agreement to dismantle nuclear or ICBM development. Iran funds Hezbollah and al Qaeda. So did Obama.

Nah, they love their terrorists. That’s their blueprint for the future here.

Turn minorities or Leftist kids into groups like BLM or ANTIFA and kill as many as they can.

Pelosi still hasn’t figured out that she is considered an enemy of these people for not having pushed the green agenda or impeachment through.

Yeah, they’ll eat their own while moping up Christians.

The fifth-column leftist media don’t mind when those they don’t care about are murdered, like 60 million children of the womb.

“Don’t forget the vics were blacks killed by other blacks.”

Yes.

I think also in addition to the anti-Christian sentiment, there is the moral equivalence aspect. It is reported as sectarian violence. Different factions fighting with each other.

Ethnic group may be stressed more than religion.

The violent annihilation of Christianity is the core motive of Democrats.

Muslims are at the top of the protection ladder, Christians, along with white American men, and others are not even on the ladder.

They don't care enough to take a stand for their fellow Christians.

They're too busy going to these mega churches that promise if they give enough of their money to them they will all become rich.

The ones that do care (like me) can't seem to get together and do something about it.

I will tell you right now that it's nothing that I could get together.

I pray all the time for someone to come along and lead us. We need marches and sit ins. I'll go for sure.

A lot of folks here want us out of Pakistan.

Seems to me to be a decent strategy to at least try to reach some semblance of reason between us before leaving.

I don’t see it the same as negotiating with hostage takers. Some may.

Apparently our establishment doesn't have the concern for actual Black Africans that it does for allegedly chrstian "African-Americans."

Silly terrorists. Don’t you know that nothing that happens in Africa matters, so long as it is not on TV. If you want to get some face time, you have to massacre Frenchmen, or Americans, and be sure to do so with TV cameras present, just in case there’s a football game on. You gotta milk your mass murders.
