At last the focus on the Christchurch massacre is consistent

When a white man goes into a mosque and murders dozens of innocent Muslims, the conversation and focus immediately turn to gun control and the global threat of Islamophobia and white nationalism.  When a Muslim goes into an Orlando bar or a California business office and massacres dozens of innocent people, the conversation and focus immediate turn to gun control and the global threat of Islamophobia and white nationalism.  Consistency is worth something I suppose.

At least it's focused on.  Unlike the dozens of African Christians gunned down a couple weeks ago by Muslim gunmen.  They received a couple days limited coverage and then back to page thirty behind the grocery ads - before being dropped altogether.  So I'll take the focus, at least there is a chance people of good will can retake the narrative and actually focus on the heart and soul of the problems behind such horrific violence.

BTW, this clear and obvious bias and exploitation of human suffering is likely at the heart of much of the hatred and vitriol out there today.  Would that Christians would be courageous enough to stand up and put a halt to this, and begin proclaiming the Gospel to the world, instead of submitting the Gospel to the world.
