Media Silent as Muslims Ethnically Cleanse 60,000 Christians in Philippines

When thousands of Muslims become refugees, then you can’t get the media to shut up about it for weeks. Thousands of Muslim migrants invading Burma became “refugees” and the media has spent the better part of a year ranting about how evil the Buddhists are.

But when Muslim terrorists attack a Christian city creating tens of thousands of refugees, you couldn’t pay the media to cover the story, whether it’s in Syria, Egypt or closer to home in the Philippines.

Philippine troops have started to battle their way into coastal villages in the south where Muslim rebels have held scores of residents hostage in a six-day standoff, sparking fierce clashes that have killed 56 people and displaced more than 60,000, officials said Saturday.
President Benigno Aquino III said more firefights were expected but assured more than 62,000 displaced villagers being sheltered at a sports complex in Zamboanga city that the rebels’ capability to sow trouble has been degraded and the government was working to end the crisis soon.

Zamboanga is the 6th largest city in the country and 3/4 Christian and an obvious target for the MNLF Muslim terrorists (who are of course denying responsibility and blaming a rogue leader). It’s an obvious target because of its central influence in Mindanao. It’s the city that Muslims want. And it’s likely that the MNLF is finding shelter in the Muslim parts of the city.

Comment: I have been critical of the Western Christian community for several years.  I have asked repeatedly where is the outrage, where is the support for their fellow Christians? So many of these groups seemingly have taken positions antithetical to their Christian teachings, they have supported Islamists and blamed the Christians for self inflicting their difficulties. This is egregious at best and outright shameful at worst. History is repeating itself, we are experiencing an ideological war and yet for multiple reasons Christians are willing to stand down from their beliefs. The war arrived in America some time ago-this blog and others have fired the warnings; yet no one seems to be listening. No longer can you blame "not knowing" on the MSM-today's 24/7 news media with multiple delivery platforms provides the facts. To be uninformed is a choice.  It is a choice unworthy of you-time to step up to support your beliefs-the time is now!
