Reporting on Muslim persecution of Christians — that is, exposing it to the public — comes with a price. For Pakistan’s Shamim Masih, a Christian reporter, that price was a sound beating and threats to his family.
On March 29, Masih was attacked in Islamabad by two men on a motorcycle. According to the leader of the Pakistan Christian Congress party, Nazir S Bhatti “The motorbike riders got down from their bike and started beating Shamim Masih…. [They] broke his arm and warned him that if he did not stop reporting on Christian issues, they knew his family and home and would teach him and his family a lesson.”
As usual, police failed to register the incident. In the words of Bhatti: “as Shamim Masih is a Christian journalist…the police and administration are not paying any attention or interest to investigate this incident.”
A couple days later, the brother of a Christian human rights activist was shot in an assassination attempt, and a few days earlier more motorcycle-riding jihadis opened fire on a Christian church.

These barbaric acts are also routinely ignored by the American Left and the media in the United States. Because of their near pathological hatred for Christianity, they have apparently reached the conclusion that “This is not our problem,” and “They probably got what they deserved.” it is comical how much they fall all over themselves, telling Americans how to show respect to Muslims. If you want peace, work for justice.

Because the president of America constantly and consistently stands with regimes & rulers that kill, in the cruellest & most abhorrent ways, people who do not belong to their religious cult. Mr Obama has thrown away the freedom so many thousands of Americans (and others) fought & died for.
