Business As Usual

Now where is the Italian dolt to blame for this?

Every third minute a Christian is killed for his faith [Source in German] and this will no doubt boost the sad statistics.

This is not about some crappy cartoons, which may, or may not, be insulting, this is about real people being brutally slaughtered because of their faith. Has that really become business as usual in the meantime? Where is the Christian outrage? Of course I don't expect anything from Muslims and not really much from Jews, Agnostics or Atheists either. But where are the CHRISTIANS? It is fine not to riot, maim and kill now, but shouldn't there be a tiny wee little bit protest? Protest that might bring those news from an "also run" down in the news bilges up and to the frontpage? Is the further fate of that Italian dimwit politician really THAT more interesting? Or the financial problems of the PA? Or one old man accidentally peppering an even older one with birdshot in Texas? Or the Winter Olympics? Or are they all too busy apologising to the Muslims for their hurt feelings over SOME EFFING CARTOONS?

What a world!
