    But do we get a bombing or other atrocity by Christian extremists about every other week? What's the headline news about Kenya tonight? Oh dear, mustn't mention it, that would be Islamophobic.

      Do you know about drones?

        Al-Shabab doing its thing - trying to keep Kenya from shutting them down. Al-Shabab is in its death throes - only a few more months left I suspect. Again, funded by Wahabi interests no doubt. Would stop in a second if the UK/USA put their foot down.

          Again, one place, one conflict and the intended targets, although there are civilian casualties, are combatants.

          If the US were sending drones into several separate countries and deliberately targeting civilians solely because of their religion it would be an apt comparison. They aren't.

            As said before, nice if they did. Unfortunately commercial interests stop us tackling any serious problem whether its SA extremism or Chinese counterfeiting.

            Most Islamic extremism never makes the news, this Christian site "documents what the mainstream media often fails to report"

            Muslim Persecution of Christians, January 2014

            As for Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Ahmadis etc, commonplace attacks on them get even less attention. This attack was just two weeks ago. You have to go to foreign newspapers or religious sites to even be aware they happen.

            However, just to be clear it is Islamism, not Muslims generally, that is the problem, more positive news here:

            Christians and Muslims in Nigeria are uniting in peace efforts in the face of relentless attacks by Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
            A "Friends Day Service" was held at a church in Tudun Nupawa, Kaduna in Northern Nigeria, one of the areas being targeted by militants.

              Pah! I could probably find a site which documents just as many attacks on Muslims.

              Tit for tat stuff is pointless. If that's your angle, well its sad.
