Christianophobia, a political and media taboo that fuels crimes against children in the USA

This Wednesday, August 27, Christianophobia was once again the motive behind a new terrorist attack targeting children in the United States.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a transgender person fired a gun at Annunciation Catholic School, killing two children. The shooter also injured 18 people, including 15 children and three adults. After carrying out the bloody attack, the shooter, 23-year-old Robert Westman, who called himself Robin Westman, committed suicide.

The anti-Christian motive for this attack is abundantly clear. In addition to the killer's chosen target, Westman posted anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel messages on social media. Curiously, unlike other hate crimes, the vast majority of media outlets have omitted any reference to Christianophobia, which in March 2023 was already the motive for another shooting perpetrated by a trans woman against a Presbyterian Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, an attack that resulted in 3 children and 3 adults killed. Far from condemning this abominable crime, transgender groups blamed and slandered the school, in a display of hatred and fanaticism that sparked a strong controversy.

When it comes to talking about hate speech, Christianphobia has become a taboo, especially imposed by the political, media, and academic left. If a terrorist attacks a mosque, the media immediately refers to it as "Islamophobia." If a criminal murders a homosexual, the word "homophobia" quickly appears in a multitude of headlines. But when two transsexuals murder children in attacks on Christian schools, Christianophobia is omitted in most media outlets as if it were a forbidden word.

In the end, the message seems clear: Hate speech fueled by the left is receiving blatant political, academic, and media whitewashing, as we've seen not only with violence against Christians, but also against our "elder brothers," as Pope Saint John Paul II called the Jews. In the case of Minneapolis, as in many far-left discourses, Christianophobia and antisemitism go hand in hand and end up creating monsters. But unlike what happens when talking about homophobia or Islamophobia, you won't see many media outlets trying to make us aware of the alarming increase in hate speech against Christians and Jews: they simply don't care, because the left is behind much of this messaging.
