Media plays up Muslim Murders, Ignores Genocide of Christians
Timothy Birdnow
While the murder of a few Muslims in New Zealand has become major international news, the continual slaughter of Christians worldwide is nearly completely ignored by the media.
As was recently pointed out in the Christian Post over six thousand Christians have been murdered in Nigeria for religious reasons by Muslims, with barely a peep out of the mainstream press.
According to the article:
And yet the news has been full for days now of a lone gunman shooting up a couple of Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The website From the Trenches hits the nail on the head as to why:
I don't know anything about this site, so please don't get on me about it. I stumbled upon both articles while researching other stuff this morning and they blended well. For all I know this is a site promoting UFO's or say the Moon landing never happened, what-have-you. I just agreed with his opening point, that Christian murders are ignored because the Left hates Christ and His Church and do not want any sympathy for Christians, a group they have labored to paint as oppressors and victimizers.
In fact, Raymond Ibrahim says that 11 Christians are killed daily, martyred for their faith.
Strange; with liberals there are always two sets of rules, some being more equal than others.

Church leaders in Nigeria have said that Christians are experiencing "pure genocide" as 6,000 people, mostly women and children, have been murdered by Fulani radicals since January.
"What is happening in Plateau state and other select states in Nigeria is pure genocide and must be stopped immediately," said the Christian Association of Nigeria and church denominational heads in Plateau State in a press release last week.
The church leaders said that "over 6,000 persons, mostly children, women and the aged have been maimed and killed in night raids by armed Fulani herdsmen," which is prompting their cry to the government of Nigeria "to stop this senseless and blood shedding in the land and avoid a state of complete anarchy where the people are forced to defend themselves."
The press release also pleaded with the international community, as well as the United Nations, to intervene in the Fulani attacks, fearing they might spread to other countries as well.

Last week, when a deranged lunatic gunned down dozens of Muslims at two mosques in New Zealand it suddenly became the biggest news story in the world, and rightly so.
It was a major news event, and it needed to be reported. But shouldn’t mass killings of Christians be given the same sort of media coverage? Sadly, we all know that doesn’t happen. Whenever there is a mass killing of Christians, it is usually entirely ignored by the mainstream media in the United States, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why this is happening. Those that control the mainstream media consider Christians to be one of the main obstacles to "progress†in this country, and so any story that would put Christians in a positive or sympathetic light simply does not fit any of the narratives that they are pushing.
As a result of the lack of media coverage, the vast majority of Americans do not know that "4,136 Christians were killed for faith-related reasons†last year.
That number breaks down to an average of 11 per day.
