Yea! You tell em! From now on, I want to know the religion of everyone who gets murdered! THAT is what matters. Christians getting murdered is a travesty, compared to other religions. We should know the religions of murder victims! So we know how much to care!

This is a very good question. Good luck on getting an honest answer.
ISIS is killing everyone they can get their hands on. There is no pattern here. Making this all about Christians takes away from everyone else who is being killed.
ever since they left the roman catholic church and it's increasing in severity since the muslim brotherood incident in egypt. this is important to know.
Historically, the title "Pope" was first adopted by Pope Heraclas, the 13th Alexandrine Archbishop (232–249 AD), three centuries before it was assumed by John I, the Roman Bishop (523–526), who ratified the Alexandrian computation of the date of Easter. Bestowing the title on Rome's Pontiff did not strip it from Alexandria's, and the Roman Catholic Church recognizes this.[1]

it's called accurate reporting. and it keeps them from covering up the identities of the victims.
The media has made it very clear that these victims were Coptic Christians.
The White House didn't call them Christians because doing so would play into the hands of IS, which used their deaths as a religious message and threat to the West. By not calling the victims Christians, the White House effectively extinguished IS' hope of expanding religious tension and conflict with their actions. The USA has rendered their religious threat ineffective.
In this instance, it is you and other Christians who are falling for IS' traps. They want you to get angry because of their religious persecution. These murders are a horrible thing, but the best we can do is not play into the hands of IS, and instead mourn the passing of these innocent victims.
I'm worried about people getting killed. I'm worried about people getting killed by mentalists. The White House, intentionally or not, in the act of leaving out the word "Christian", removed the power of statement from both the hands of ISIS, and the media propaganda machine. And of course, the propaganda machine was quick to pounce upon this.

The best thing we can do is have a public outcry for our POTUS Commander in Chief to go over there and wipe these enemies out, or get impeached out of his office. The way he handled this was to cockblock it from happening, plain and simple.
So now it's an impeachable offense to NOT invade Egypt and extract revenge on a group that killed some Egyptians? Since when does killing a Christian somewhere in the world outside America fall under America's jurisdiction?

ISIS BEHEADS 21 CHRISTIANS, PROMISES TO ‘CONQUER ROME, BY ALLAH’S PERMISSION’
Yea ok i think your plan of us sitting back and finger pointing is the best plan we could come up with.
You use double speak by saying people are getting involved.
That is good they are getting involved but the real question is what overall effect is their involvment having on the growth of isis?
You do not state truth by saying muslim extremist are not a threat to the usa.

So because our corporate-controlled media outlets have whipped the masses into an anti-Muslim frenzy, Obama must "obey the will of the people" and go invade other countries that have Muslims in them? Check.

Not doing the will of the people would empower those who can find any number of impeachable offenses by this POTUS. The Benghazi treachery would probably be enough if the will was there and it was calculated more gained politically than lost.
In order for Obama to hold on and not lose his legacy, he cannot allow the pendulum to swing the other way. That has probably more to do with ignoring facts and downplaying events than calculating what the enemy reaction would be.
