If There's An Assault On Christians And No One Reports It, Is It Really Happening?

I've always been fascinated by how, if one of America's news outlets reports on an important story, other outlets quickly jump on it.
The story might be about the breakthrough with a new drug, or about an earthquake somewhere, or having to do with a multiple vehicle crash.

I, therefore, found it inexplicable that Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali's article on the war on Christians appearing in the February 2012 issue of Newsweek wasn't immediately picked up by talk shows or elaborated on by other print media.  Or, maybe, I haven't been looking in the right places or listening to the right talk shows?

Here you have Christianity, one of the world's major religions, a belief system to which most Americans are affiliated, being oppression by another of the world's major belief systems and a detailed review of the suffering of the  Christians receives less than a yawn.  What exactly is being discussed at the many Christian-Muslim-Jewish conferences that seem to spring up all over the place?  Where can one read of the protests of the Presbyterians and the Episcopaleans and the Lutherans against the suffering of fellow Christians?

As a Jew, I don't get it.  Jews know what to expect in a Muslim country.  If we happen to find ourselves in an Islamic country, we know all that's left for us to do is get out and leave for either Israel or the USA.  There are a few other places we might consider, but for Jews, Israel and the USA are the best.  But, to be fair, most English speaking countries are reasonable alternatives.

In Israel, we don't turn our Arab-Israeli citizens into second-class citizens the way Jordanians treat Arabs who are not Bedouin, or, for that matter, the way Shiite Iraqis treat Sunni Iraqis, or the Turks treat the Kurds.  Israeli culture doesn't allow it.  No compliments are expected and none are received.  As a Jew, I understand this. 

What I don't understand is how Christians can simply stand by as fellow Christians are being destroyed.
