So cultural traits in the West developed for hundreds of years, has basically apathy towards persecution of non-Western Church Christians. Some of the more radical elements of the Western Church even praise such atrocities happening.
Anyone who is a true Christian will share the sentiments of the following song, regardless of his physical placement on this planet: (Words: John Oxenham, 1908)

In Christ there is no East or West,
In Him no South or North;
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.

In Him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord,
Close binding humankind.

Join hands, then, members of the faith,
Whatever your race may be!
Who serves my Father as His child
Is surely kin to me.

In Christ now meet both East and West,
In Him meet North and South;
All Christly souls are one in Him
Throughout the whole wide earth.

It's a damn shame they aren't burning down Mosques. There are only two types of Muslims. Type One tries to kill all people that aren't Muslim, while type two Muslim silently cheers them on, or, doesn't have the guts to speak out against it.

Obama sends American dollars to finance terrorist in Libya, Egypt & Syria, even though the National Debt
is approaching 18 Trillion dollars. Makes me want to puke......

No true Christian would advocate burning down mosques, or killing innocent people... remember what the bible instructs:

Romans 12:9-21 New American Standard Bible

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

"A suicide attack on a historic Christian church in northwestern Pakistan killed at least 75 people on Sunday in one of the deadliest attacks on the Christian minority in Pakistan in years. The attack occurred as worshipers left the All Saints Church in the old quarter of the regional capital, Peshawar, after a service on Sunday morning. Up to 600 worshipers had attended the service and were leaving to receive free food being distributed on the lawn outside when two explosions ripped through the crowd."

Even if blowing up abortion clinics and shooting abortion doctors were anything frequent (which they aren't), it would be like whining Christians are sniping Nazis running gas chambers.

What's more interesting that you mention abortion and MD's hired as hitmen by parents to execute their own child, is that agnostics and atheists probably assassinate more defenseless babies around the world daily than Muslims kill grown people capable of combat in a year.

The reason there was not more of an uproar because of the non-existent Buddist community in Afghanistan; there were no physical Buddists attacked at that time.
I'm sure she's no fun at parties. Ever notice how atheist females (for whatever reason this seems always to be the atheist females and far less often the atheist males) seem to have as much soul, emotion, and romance in them as severely autistic people have? Which means little to none.

They always try and portray themselves as intellectually superior beings sitting on some high thrones. And they're about as emotional and empathetic as a mathematical exam.
