I am quite certain that had it been fairer skinned family, this story would still be given low priority.
I could care less the color of the murdered family's skin.
They were fellow Christians and assuredly much braver ones than most Christians I know, myself included.
This story is underreported partly because of their profound faith.
Or because of the faith of the likely murderers...
We wouldn't want to cause panic after all. /sarc
The story is underreported soley because the victims were devout Christians and the media aren't about to report anything that might spark outrage amongst Christians and unite them. PERIOD
