I usually don’t do this, but today I feel I should. Last week, some Christians including some catholic priests were gruesomely murdered by some villains tagged ‘Suspected Herdsmen’ and the headline was very direct Catholic Priests, others killed by herdsmen but yesterday 60 Muslims were killed in a mosque and the headline reads- 60 Worshipers Killed in….
