Why Has There Not Been The Same Reaction Over This, Than What Is Being Shown Over The New Zealand Attack?

I just put this into sqad's thread;
There have been 6,000 Christians killed in North Nigeria by the Fulan in the last 3 months, no hand wringing over them, no minutes silence , no urgent questions about Christianphobia, in the Commons or anywhere else that I can see.

[Mamyalynne]

Can't answer the question you pose, there's such horror isn't there.

[spathiphyllum]

NewZeland has a lot of ex pats, not to mention how many young brits go there on holiday. Nigeria less so..

[agchristie]

Who knows? Distance can certainly be ruled out though...

[hc4361]

What was you looking for to find a 13 month old report, AOG?

Surely you know that the White Western World doesn't much care about what happens in African countries?

[spathiphyllum]

Also, it's not up to us public what we should be upset about.. It's down to the media.

[agchristie]

//White Western World doesn't much care about what happens in African countries?//

When millions are/were dying of malnutrition the spotlight was certainly on Africa

Equally disastrous,Christians being wiped out and er..late reporting

[naomi24]

hc4361, I can't recall seeing it widely reported 13 months ago either, but how about Khandro's more recent news posted at 14:21?

[hc4361]

Same response, naomi. The White Western World doesn't care about what goes on in African countries.

Baroness Berridge has raised concerns about the murders in Nigeria in the House of Commons but the media didn't really pick up on it.

[Zacs-Master]

Is this not the same question as your 'Are The Media Showing An Un-Level Playing Field Over This New Zealand Atrocity?' one?

[jno]

Start a petition on change.org at once, aog.

If you’re really handwringing rather than point scoring.

I posted this about a week or so ago. The only real response was that my source was not a preferred one and that it must therefor be ignored. Phew that's alright then. Mind you my jibe about the lack of reporting seemed to stir some news agencies to do a cursory piece.

You won't find this in the Guardian.....or on the Beep Beep See.

//The recent death toll of Christians in Nigeria has reached 120 with this week’s slaughter of more than 50 by Fulani Muslim militants in the Kaduna state of Nigeria, the Christian Post reported.
The Fulani jihadists, who have become a greater threat to Nigerian Christians than the Islamist terror group Boko Haram, stormed the villages of Inkirimi, Dogonnoma, and Ungwan Gora in the Kajuru Local Government Area last Monday, destroying 143 homes, killing 52 people, and wounding dozens more.
The assailants reportedly split into three groups, the first of which fired upon the people, the second set fire to buildings, and the third chased down people fleeing from the scene. Victims of the assault included women and children.
Monday’s incident followed an attack the day before in the Ungwan Barde village in Kajuru, where 17 Christians were killed and dozens of homes were burned.
In the first week of March, Muslim extremists massacred more than 30 Christians in Karamar village, setting fire to several houses and a church. The terrorists reportedly shot at families trying to escape the fire, killing 32.//

Oh what a World we live in. The killers were not apprehended and they did not advertise their actions on the webbywatsit. But they will do it again.

Crikey , such power and influence :-)

[Khandro]

When the murder of Christians actually took place isn't always relevant because the discovery of bodies is often some time later.

[Togo]

Haha Baz.....I'm sure the MP who raised the issue in the commons reads up on the Bank. After all, any amount of smart heart answers can be found here. (^_*)

[ichkeria]

One because it happened in Africa and we don’t care what happens there
Two it happened ages ago and details have only just emerged
“Man goes into mosque/ supermarket/school in the “west” and slaughters people and streams it live on Facebook what’s more” is always going to trump “nasty black people in a country of which we know and care little kill other black people”
Sad but true

//If you’re really handwringing rather than point scoring.//
no - he is really handwringing

I mean do we have a hierarchy of massacres ?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/24/world/middleeast/mosque-attack-egypt.html
300 sufis shot by proper muslims - followers of Mawlana Ar-Rumi Celalladin ( yeah that one)

muslims killing copts in egypt
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/10/christians-egypt-unprecedented-persecution-report

does the question - oh look so and so has shot the hell out of such and such and no one gives a toss - have any validity ?

[Peter Pedant]

O is it time for stalin
one death is a tragedy
a million deaths are a statistic

[youngmafbog]

Interesting to see the responses of the resident liberal left on here.

Ick has it a bout right, except that I suspect other occurrences have happened since so the time bit is not really applicable.

Plus of course Christianity is the "wrong" religion at the moment.
