Well, I guess while I still have your attention, let's talk about Islamist attacks on churches in 2019.

The Church Bombing in Cairo killed a bomb expert and a few police officers, the likely perpetrator being the Islamic State.

What about the shooting by Boko Haram? They shot up a Church trying to abduct its priest, unfortunately a few worshipers were killed in the attempt.

Maybe the Suicide Bombing that killed several churchgoers in Nigera? Nah, didn't hear about it?

It's strange, I don't remember all of the outrage about these attacks on churches by Islamic Terrorists.

So, what's wrong with any terrorist attack being bad?

Two negatives don't make a positive. But go ahead and keep reaching

Is this where we act like people are saying only one type of terrorist attack is bad?

I'm sorry if that was really hard for you to understand.

It means draw your own conclusion.

If that's too hard for you, let me know and I'll make sure to mash it up as a parent does for their toddler.

Individual source, the closest would be Wikipedia.

Sources to the actual incidents are literally in the thousands, some in Arabic. I'm not sure if we would ever have extremely accurate data for 2019 until a watchdog exists to compile all of the data.

So for now we'll just have to rely on newspapers and websites (like Wikipedia) who actively cite and take in the data.

131 Muslims were killed in the Kaduna State massacre...

Hmmm.

Albeit, not 2019, but still. You're grasping at straws and really this shitty thread needs to be on Pol

I believe your point is that a "white nationalist" committing terrorism against Muslims is wall-to-wall coverage, non-stop, with panel discussions about how to deal with it, and what causes it, and what we should censor.

Meanwhile, Muslims slaughtering non-Muslims is barely a news item, and if it is, it is blamed on guns, or mental illness, or not covered at all.

Seemed obvious to me, good job.

However, they also ignore Muslims slaughtering Muslims. There were 7 attacks on mosques (perpetrated by and against Muslims in the six other incidents) and only one has gotten any coverage.

I was shocked to see so many governments working in tandem to try and ban the video (which they've failed to do) and strike his name from reports (which they will also fail in). So it makes me wonder: What was so bad that we shouldn't get to see the video? It took them years before they tried to eliminate the sources for Islamic State videos which were far more brutal and equally motivated by a deep hatred. Why are they so desperate now?
