Anti-Religious Violence Worldwide

For John, BLUF:  Without a full and balanced reporting of violence against religious groups one could draw wrong conclusions.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Why Does The Mainstream Media Purposely Ignore The Mass Killings Of Christians That Happen All Over The Globe?

From End of the American Dream, by Mr Michael Snyder, 17 March 2019.

Here is the lede plus three:

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.

In Nigeria, more than 120 Christians have been gunned down or killed with machetes over the past three weeks, but Breitbart was the only big media outlet to report on it…

Yes, this is way out of the mainstream, but the fact is that the 120 folks killed in Nigeria over the last several weeks will not be showing up for breakfast.  For some reason, others decided they didn't have a right to life.  That does not seem like a good thing.

I am not convinced the mainstream media is suppressing this news because of the dangers of Christianity, but I do think the idea of Muslim groups attacking Christians in various parts of the world works against the idea of Caucasians (especially males) as standing in the way of progress.  (It gets confusing when you consider that vast numbers of Muslims are Caucasian and the 120 dead Nigerian Christians were Black.)

Hat tip to Zero Hedge.
