Lack of Concern For Murder of Christians
[From article]
Jihadist rebels threaten and kidnap them while coercing others to become Muslims. Government troops loyal to President Bashar Assad order them to fight the opposition or face death" ("Christians are in the crosshairs of bloody Muslim wars in Mideast," Rowan Scarborough, The Washington Times, Aug. 1).
But in spite of all this, says John Hayward of Human Events, "the international community never seems terribly exercised about the persecution of Christian minorities.
"The Western world is sometimes complacent about the inevitable triumph of pluralistic democracy, but the Islamists are placing a different bet. They like their chances against Western societies that won't speak loudly in defense of their ideals.
"The same advanced democracies that had agonized internal discussions about whether freedom of speech should be curtailed, in order to avoid offending Muslims, don't seem particularly angry about the destruction of Coptic churches, and other Christian property. Egyptian mobs are targeting Christian property for destruction by writing Islamist graffiti on the walls."
