If Christians had torched a mosque, which would not happen and should not happen, there would be international headlines about it for months, if not years. But you’re likely to hear about this only here.
“Suspected Islamists kill 18, torch church in east Congo,” Reuters, October 29, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BENI — Assailants killed at least 18 people and burned down a church in a village in eastern Congo on Wednesday night, a civil rights group and local committee said, blaming fighters from an Islamist militia group operating in the area.
The army confirmed the attack on Baeti village in North Kivu province, around 20 km (12 miles) west of the city of Oicha, but declined to give a death toll.
The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan armed group active in eastern Congo since the 1990s, has killed more than 1,000 civilians since the start of 2019, according to U.N. figures, despite repeated military campaigns aimed at destroying it.
“We have a provisional death toll of 18 people killed in an atrocious way,” said Kinos Katuho, president of a local civil rights group….
ADF combatants dispersed into small groups and fled into other areas, burning down entire villages, destroying health centers and schools, and abducting men, women and children. The violence could constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to the U.N..

I bet that not one major news outlet will mention this much less discuss it. As Mr. Spencer writes, “you’re likely to hear about this only here.” It certainly does not seem that black lives matter at all, especially, if they happen to be Christian lives. This article would probably be banned on Face Book, Twitter, etc. I am truly glad that I am not a young twenty something because it will probably be too late when those who pretend to lead wake up.

This is often true, Ray, but this story *was* reported by Reuters, which is indeed a major news outlet.

The Western media in general has become exceedingly shameful. For the Western media, only some lives matter and only those on the Right side of the political spectrum can do wrong. The Western media is as much of a joke as Islam is a despicable excuse for a religion. I despise them both.

3 Christians in Nice vs. 18 in the former French colony. Why did the French victims receive so much more coverage in the media? Is it the anti racist racism some morons trade in? Or is it that they can usually just kick this Muslim dirty laundry under the rug knowing almost every other media outlet will cooperate in this conspiracy of neglect?
Egypt is just south of France and is a little to the north and east of Congo. But since the South African boycott succeeded it’s as if sub Saharan Africa dropped off the radar of liberal news groups. Except when Muslims do something closer to Western civilization, like murder people shopping in malls or kidnap more than a few girls. The bitter twist to all of this despair is the disconnection between the lives of the victims and the sadistic murderers. None of them had anything to do with Muhammad or religion or social failure. It’s just “I’m right and therefore can kill you” with both rage and the cold blooded head rush of murder. Most Muslims let someone else do this on their behalf. Even large donors usually choose to remain anonymous.

Congo was infamously a Belgian colony, not French.

I’m surprised that those blaring their hatred of any race other than their own in our nation — the banner-wavers of OnlyOurLivesMatter — have not considered expatriating en masse to join their brothers in the fight against those who not only refuse to pay “reparations” but rebuff “invitations” to confess Islam. But then I don’t imagine the quantity or quality of the loot to be had in torching a shop in the Congo can compare with denuding a WalMart in Philly of its merchandise. Still, one can kill the “systemic racists” with even more impunity over there if one can find any, and in the meantime those who refuse the Prophet make a relatively satisfying substitute.
“The violence could constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to the U.N.” Please. When has that hypocritical Marxo-Islamic whorehouse on the East River ever lifted a finger to defeat actual “crimes against humanity”? They even denounced, on spurious grounds, Charles Jacobs and his organization for accomplishing the manumition of black slaves from Arab Muslim masters a number of years back.

Congo: Muslims murder 18 people ‘in an atrocious way,’ torch church
…………
Just horrifying. More of the Muslim genocide of Christians in Africa.
SJ says
Islam is a fake religion

This has been happening in Northern Nigeria. We lost many Christians in Southern Kaduna. Nobody cares. I’m fact, the government is behind the murders and they still receiving aid money from the UK. Also, the Uk protects jidhadists. The governor of Kaduna state called El Rufai is the one who organised the killings of Christians and I found his UK address on 192.com.

Sadly, most in the West know nothing about this.
