The picture the media is putting in my head:

Pray for France…? Is Anybody in France praying for Kenya?  

Don’t get me wrong, this is not a killing rate contest. But has anyone from France ever prayed for Kenya, Palestine, or Israel thousands of people were being killed by extremists groups with bombings, kidnappings and suicide bombs the world kept quiet like nothing happened.

Beirut, for instance, suffered a horrendous attack just 24 hours before incident in Paris; the ‘mainstream’ media completely ignored it.  However the coverage of Paris was so vast in support from seemingly all forms of mass media.

Has the media emphasised the later crucifixions of our fellow humans as much as they have with
France? Many African youth are speaking out on their views about the predicament as a “so what” expression. Many people in our continent are executed on a daily basis and a couple of hundred people die in France and the world come to stand still.

Here is a question for you. Have our girls returned while we pray for France? Or must they be of European decent to be acknowledged on a scale the French have been acknowledged on with an extremists attack. Either way, the threatening and attacking of human life is wrong and a unified effort to disclose all matters equally and taking of action to suspend such actions should apply to all of humanity.

Let’s hear your opinions.
