Unfortunately everyone puts different values on different lives. The secularist puts next to no value on unborn babies. Black and white activist put almost zero value on the life of Police, militant Hindus and muslims put no value on Christians lives. blm protestors are simply anarchist or totally naïve. Many black criminals put little value on black lives as shown by the way they murder and bash each other. We don't hear much about persecuted Christians from the lying liberal media because they have the spirit of anti Christ and it does not fit their lying narratives. Fake race crimes are far more likely to be picked up than persecution of Christians. Look at the latest racist driver caught out.

I decide what and who matters to me, not a bunch of yobbo, vicious demonstrators and rioters, nor pathetic do-gooders peeing their pants because some sociopath says they are racist. This latest burst of anti-social behaviour has nothing to do with anything but anarchy.

What of it? After all, all lives matter. Be they black, brown or bridle.

I like what @runner said.
Also, I'd like to say that Black Lives Matter BLM, is NOT a social movement,,,it is a political movement which is gaining much strength in these past weeks. It seems they were just waiting for something like George Floyd to happen. The truth is that more whites are killed by police than blacks...this could be confirmed on the web. Why is there no outcry? Because blacks in the U.S. want to live a peaceful life like the rest of the population...but the activist blacks won't allow this. They let persons like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton "lead" them, and Jackson, Sharpton and the like, do this for THEIR own good and not for the good of their own race. Check out Candace Owen on YouTube is you'd like to find out how blacks feel --- those that are not resentful activists for something that happened over 300 years ago. Take notice of who is looting and setting fires: Young persons, not responsible persons like marched with Martin Luther King. As for Christian lives: Most would like to see Christians disappear..difficult to understand why since it's Christianity that set laws that created the most civilized countries.... I have no comment on Islam, except that I do agree with the O.P. that these persons have also been forgotten and that I'd like to see the militants pushed into the sea....IOW,,,I'd like to see them disappear. Seems like the young generation is beginning to notice problems with the Quran. Maybe things will begin to change. GodsGrace Posted by GodsGrace, Thursday, 25 June 2020 10:42:08 PM

GodsGrace,
<<The truth is that more whites are killed by police than blacks...this could be confirmed on the web. Why is there no outcry?>> That's a perceptive and accurate statement. I went searching for the statistics and found: "People shot to death by U.S. police, by race 2017-2020. Published by Statista Research Department, Jun 5, 2020, http://www.statista.com/aboutus/our-research-commitment, "Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 429 civilians having been shot, 88 of whom were Black, as of June 4, 2020. In 2018, there were 996 fatal police shootings, and in 2019 this figure increased to 1,004. Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 30 fatal shootings per million of the population as of June 2020", http://www.statista.com/statistics/1123070/police-shootings-rate-ethnicity-us/ These statistics were found at: http://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ Why is there no outcry against the white killings by police? It is related to the organised revolutionary basis of the movement, Black Lives Matter, which states: '#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives', http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/.

Thank you Spencer.
I really hope that you are able to reach at least a few of those people who are open enough to consider that expressing, listening to,internally evaluating and then, if appropriate, taking further action, are expressions of what it is to be truly human. The closed minds,blinded eyes, don't "dance with the fairies"but they don't realise that they are merely following the "Pied Piper' who plays his flute and those lacking real discernment trail along behind. Let us all seek to encourage unbiased media,listening with compassion to the cries of oppressed humanity, and in many other ways promote the maintenance of "Free Speech" which has been the hallmark of truly free people down through the centuries.Even a small lit candle is encouraging in a dark room.

Ozspen,
I think the media in Australia, and Australians in general, are really only interested in info about countries that they intend to visit. No one is going to visit Nigeria for a holiday, so the fact that Islamic Boko Harem tribesmen are murdering black Christian Nigerians, is not news really. Then you have the fact that two different religions are involved leads to a collective yawn. As a Christian, you are consistent in being appalled at these murders. Of course if you were an atheist, you could only conclude that this was just dumb atoms (in a conglomerate called a human being), doing what dumb atoms do, ie interact with each other. I don't want to hear any atheist on these pages bewailing the death of anyone. I say this because alarm at people dying is not a value that can be derived from any atheist - time - chance - no purpose, belief system. Posted by The Inspector, Saturday, 27 June 2020 9:42:36 AM

The Inspector,
<<I think the media in Australia, and Australians in general, are really only interested in info about countries that they intend to visit. No one is going to visit Nigeria for a holiday, so the fact that Islamic Boko Harem tribesmen are murdering black Christian Nigerians, is not news really>> I can understand and agree with that perspective EXCEPT Christians still visit Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia (Bali) and China. According to Open Doors World Watch List there has been 'a sharp increase in the persecution of Christians in Asia over the past five years – but with a dramatic spike in 2018, driven by the likes of a rise in Hindu ultra-nationalism in India, radical Islamism in Indonesia and tougher religious regulations in China', http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/2182260/asia-new-hotbed-christian-persecution-situation-china-worst. Several people in my street have been tourists to China recently. China wants the tourist dollars. What's the situation there for Christians? 'While the communist country ranked 23rd on the list, roughly 100 million Christians have been affected by what [David Curry CEO of Open Doors USA] called "a blueprint for dictators around the world" that China already planned to sell to Iran and other countries', http://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/christian-china-persecution-2020-watchlist. It's a tough time for being a Christian, anywhere in the world, as my friend found when he left a Bible on his desk in the workshop. He reads it during lunch time in Brisbane, Australia.

The Burmese Buddhists don't want Muslims in their country and I don't blame them.
Over the border in Buddhist Thailand, the Muslims have been causing trouble there for decades, massacring's Thais, shooting up police stations and killing Thai policemen. The Burmese don't want the same thing to happen to their country and it will happen if they are stupid enough to just keep allowing Muslims to pour over their borders and set up shop. Even Nobel Prizewinner Suu Kyi keeps her mouth shut over what the Burmese Army does to Muslims. She is considered almost the mother of Burma, but her own population would turn on her overnight if she started moaning about the Burmese Army driving the Bangla Deshi Muslims back to their own sheethole Muslim country.
Instead of moaning about Muslims, Spencer, how about attacking Islam which is the cause of so much misery and terrorisms around the world? And the reason why Muslims are the most despised people on this planet. One thing is certain, Spencer, the more Muslim a nation is, the craphole it is.
I sure hate to destroy your pixie like faith in humanity Spencer, and your compulsive desire to be a do gooder, but for God's sake grow a brain.
Nobody wants Muslims pouring unchecked into their country. And if you think otherwise, you are down n the garden dancing with the fairies, alongside Plantagenet and Paul1405. Even the Muslims in Malaysia don't want them. And Australia does not want them either. We have enough problems with the ones we have here already, as well as certain other dysfunctional minorities who are unable to prosper in advanced western societies.
