I look forward to all our friends on the left trying to explain this one away.
A top Vatican official has said around 100,000 Christians are killed every year for reasons linked to their faith and pointed to the Middle East, Africa and Asia as the biggest problem areas.
Monsignor Silvano Maria Tomasi was quoted by Vatican radio on Tuesday as saying that the figures were “shocking” and “incredible”.
Tomasi said Christians were also forced to leave their homes and see their churches destroyed in some parts of the world, and were often subjected to rapes, kidnappings and discrimination.
Gee, wonder why?
The word “Islam” doesn’t appear until the very last paragraph of AFP’s story:
Another senior Vatican figure, the secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Mario Toso, said recently that discrimination against Christians “should be countered in the same way as anti-Semitism and Islamophobia”.
See? They’re victims too.
I don’t know the exact number of Muslims killed every year for reasons linked to their faith — other than the ones killed in the process of trying to kill people they hate — but I’ll bet it’s a lot.
And that’s not even counting the Muslims whose feelings get hurt when meanies tweet rude things about them, like those blokes who got arrested for it in England last week. Just because some jihadis beheaded one of your countrymen in the streets of your country’s capital, and then stood around bellowing that they did it in the name of Allah, that doesn’t give you the right to express your opinion about it on the Internet. Why, you might hurt somebody’s feelings. Somebody who’s a member of a Designated Victim Group.
Shut it, you.
Update: Guess which religion this Australian university won’t let students satirize? Yep, you got it in one.
Update: Florida virtual school: Terrorism stems from “low self-esteem.” Is it any wonder? Shame on you, America.
