Hating on Christians.

America’s newsrooms are hating on Christians. How else would you describe the media firestorm that occurred when the President of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, declared his Christian faith and was widely denounced for it - by the media?  It was the media that went to homosexual organizations agitating for same-sex marriage to get their quotes denouncing Mr. Cathy.  It was the media that decided that the conventional Christian belief that marriage is between a man and a woman is so outrageous that to utter it in public is grounds for endless newspaper articles and editorials.   

But compare and contrast: Christianity and …. Oh, let’s say Islam.  The media tells us that Islam is the “religion of peace.”  That practitioners of Islam are just like you and me and any utterance to the contrary is hate speech.  So what is the Muslim position on same sex marriage?  Do you even have to ask when the Muslim position on homosexuality is death?  The only argument is whether death should be by having a wall dropped on them, by being thrown off of a high building or the ever-popular hanging.  Have a leading Muslim cleric denounce homosexuality and if it shows up in the media at all, the media doesn’t bother to get quotes from homosexual activists denouncing traditional Muslim faith … and practice.    

It’s not as if Islam is hiding its faith or if the followers of the Prophet are shy about committing violent acts to enforce their belief. 

The media are the homosexual community’s cheerleaders.  This is an indisputable fact.  Since Muslims are much, much, much more unforgiving of homosexuals than Christians, what is the reason for the double standard?  Is it simply another example of political correctness?  Is it just anti-Christian bigotry?  Is it a way of showing contempt for the broad middle of the country that does not share the Liberal views of the newsroom?  Is it cowardice, knowing that Christians demonstrate by buying a chicken sandwich but Muslims demonstrate cutting your throat?  Is it the belief that 1.5 billion followers of Islam don’t mean anything? 

It’s probably a combination of all of these.  And it’s not going to change while there is a separate archipelago we can refer to as the media.  Thankfully, the islands in that archipelago are slowly sliding beneath the waves as technology is making them irrelevant.  Faster please.
