Waiting for Condemnations from Religion of Peace
3/27/16 NBC:
I'm waiting for the news media to finally cover the Christian holocaust in the world - in the Middle East and South Asia primarily.
ReplyDeleteWe hear "N civilians killed, M wounded" but they don't mention, or only mention in passing, that Christians were targeted on the most holy holiday.
I really don't like that "women and children" formulation, mentioned three times in this short excerpt. I bet the majority were also men and women, or men and children. You're only saying that two categories are greater than the remaining one category.
