The seed of the Church

John Hinderaker says it is "open season" on Christians and most Christians don't care.

Do you remember the "massacre" at Jenin? Of course: Palestinians initially claimed that 500 had been killed, but it turned out that there was no massacre after all. In Nigeria, on the other hand, no one disputes that more than 500 Christians were slaughtered by Muslims. So where is the outrage? I don't know what denomination those Nigerian Christians were, but Lutherans are the most numerous Christian denomination in Africa. I'm a Lutheran, but I have never heard a single word from any church source, local or national, about the mass murder of African Christians. No one seems to care.

The Eloi claim to be superior to the Morlocks because the Eloi abhor violence. They will not raise their voices in anger, still less lift a finger, at the news their fellow Eloi have yet again been slaughtered.

More or less what happened in the first round. And then the Crusades.
