Not really. You see, if that were the case, I wouldn\u2019t bother posting it. The media \u2013 or as I like to call it, the glorious ministry of propaganda for the advancement of secular progressivism<\/em> \u2013 would be plastering it all over the airwaves. Specials would be run. Round table discussions. CNN would have a series documenting the growing violence by Christians against Muslims around the world (whether there was any other example or not \u2013 remember all the violence back during the NYC mosque debate that never actually seemed to find references to substantiate?). In short, it would fit the narrative of the Left (white, European and American heterosexual Christian men are the incarnation of evil and the singular cause of all human suffering in the world), so they would run with it until there was no steam left upon which to run. But this<\/a>, a mere story in which Muslims overtake a Christian church, causing peaceful protests, and despite it being a growing trend across the Muslim world, is not even mentioned \u2013 yet. Perhaps I\u2019ll be wrong. Perhaps it may be mentioned. But if it find its way into the American press, I\u2019ll bet ten to a doughnut that it will be an aside, and not the media frenzy we\u2019ve seen when the blame can, or even might, fall toward the aforementioned bad guys of history.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
