1 Humbly and sincerely: Why aren't these recurrent massacres against Christians even a topic of discussion in the media? Can't they at least allocate a few square centimetres for a running weekly tab? (like they do for murders in Chicago?)
Perhaps via a vatican newsletter?
Perhaps via a UN website?

Do Christians really want to keep quiet, just waiting around until it becomes their turn to get slaughtered? at a baptism? a wedding? a funeral? a midnight mass?

2 Why?
Choices.
Believe you will be saved.
Believe you should be strapped.

3 Good point #1. Somebody should make a webpage recording Christian murders overseas like someone has done for Chicago.

4 Why aren't these recurrent massacres against Christians even a topic of discussion in the media?

Because it is far away in the wilds of sub-Saharan Africa, Gordon — not even in a city that people might have heard of — where they have been killing each other, mostly ineffectually, for millennia.

Even here at Rantburg, where the war of jihadi Islam to conquer the world for Allah is our focus, we do not pay as close attention as we might, being distracted by events in other regions. Fred handles Nigeria — where Boko Haram and ISIS in the West Africa Province run amok — and whichever Congo M23 rampages through, but we would dearly love a dedicated volunteer to cover the rest of the region for us.
