One type of hate crime that the media at least in America doesn’t seem interested in covering are hate crimes against Christians. Take for instance the Easter terrorist attack in Sri Lanka. That received scant media coverage in by the so called “journalists” in America. While hate crimes against any group are unacceptable, the rash of hate crimes against Christians is approach near genocide levels at least the UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Why isn’t this a bigger topic in the US?
Hate crimes against Christians aren’t just Islamic terrorist attacks either. Even in China, the communist dictatorship is conducting crackdowns on churches all over the country. You may remember that from the pre-CHristmas raids by the Chinese against Christian churches.

The persecution of Christians in parts of the world is at near “genocide” levels, according to a report ordered by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The review, led by the Bishop of Truro the Right Reverend Philip Mounstephen, estimated that one in three people suffer from religious persecution.
Christians were the most persecuted religious group, it found.
Mr Hunt said he felt that “political correctness” had played a part in the issue not being confronted.
The interim report said the main impact of “genocidal acts against Christians is exodus” and that Christianity faced being “wiped out” from parts of the Middle East.
It warned the religion “is at risk of disappearing” in some parts of the world, pointing to figures which claimed Christians in Palestine represent less than 1.5% of the population, while in Iraq they had fallen from 1.5 million before 2003 to less than 120,000.
