Across the globe, many Christians in Muslim majority regions live with daily fear for their lives. Why did we not hear of this event? Hmmm

The spree killer in New Zealand had an ideology of his own making.

Christians are dealing with issues of Islamic doctrine. Therein lies the difference.

But murder is murder, no matter how you dice it. Prayers will be extended to those who mourn today.
