("50 killed and 50 injured.) Occurred at two mosques in Christchurch. Brenton Tarrant was charged with murder.

Is this in retaliation for the New Zealand Mosque murders? Or is this just normal harassment of Christians?

Just another day in northern Nigeria. The muzzards are going full bore to drive out, convert or kill all the Christians in that area. It is what they do when they get to be a large plurality of the population.

This is the status quo there sadly. It is horrific just as what happened in New Zealand was horrific. The difference in coverage and outrage speaks to our political discourse not to some “tit for tat” attack. Ironically, that is what the madman in New Zealand claimed he was doing in his rambling screed.

I should have added - it is not all politics. The New Zealand attack was live-streamed and occurred in a western nation with lots of media so it had more shock value than what is tragically more common (and rarely of interest in Western media)in Africa.

Africa is a place where horrific acts are not unusual. The cursed continent is a very sad place where life for many is an absolute struggle full of danger and tribalism (to include religious) is rampant.
