You don't see people begging for their lives and watch bullets enter their body in videos of 9/11. Yes, you see broad implications of death - the explosions, people jumping from buildings, buildings collapsing - but you don't see their moment of death. You can't see their eyes as they die or their brain and other body parts splattering across the floor.
Oh, of course, the NZ incident was all on one day, the Nigerian killings were over the period of 3 weeks. Obviously, nothing of interest there....
Jihadists killing Christians doesn't fit the narrative. One nutcase killing Muslims, that's news!!
It has the added benefit of another mass shooting too proving guns are evil.
The desperation to create propaganda at the expense of integrity and actually reporting news to forward an agenda is pathetic.
Both incidents happened, both atrocities against religious people by very sick monsters. Why not promote both??
The answer is too painfully obvious.
Back when Walter Cronkite did it to put his own spin on the Vietnam War, other news options didn't exist for people to easily use for reference and fact checks, so he was able to portray only what he wanted people to hear.
Now we have all the news of the world at our fingertips. It's a lot harder for them to get away with lies and obfuscation of news they don't want you to hear.
Christianity includes the Old Testament. You are too young to remember the Inquisition, Grasshopper.
None of the devout Muslims I know will cut your head off. Relax.
The Old Testament is not based on the words of the Christian prophet. The Koran IS based on the words of the warlord prophet.
And the Muslims you know are not "devout"-they are not following the words of Muhammad. Thankfully that is the case with a good number of them. I suppose there were Nazis that just joined up because their neighbors were Nazis too-but didn't run the gas chambers.
Yessir, thank you for verifying that the deaths of over 100 Christians at the hands of Muslim extremists is not as important as the deaths of 50 Muslims at the hand of a non-Muslim crackpot.
I guess to paraphrase Orwell in Animal Farm: "Some people are more equal than the others"...
Nope, I know enough to turn my stomach. Watching this demented video would hurt my soul.
This. I've seen people die and it's not enjoyable.

Also this. What a stupid comparison.
