MANILA, Philippines – Two bombs minutes apart tore through a Roman Catholic cathedral on a southern Philippine island where Muslim militants are active, killing at least 20 people and wounding 81 others during a Sunday Mass, officials said.
The first bomb went off in or near the Jolo cathedral in the provincial capital, followed by a second blast outside the compound as government forces were responding to the attack, security officials said. The blasts blew away the entrance to the cathedral and ripped through the main hall, shredding to pieces the pews and toppling other doors.
Police said at least 20 people died and 81 were wounded. The fatalities included 15 civilians and five troops. Among the wounded were 14 troops, two police and 65 civilians.

I looked to see if there are any reports of any Muslim who undertook the attack smirking at Catholics and couldn't find anything. So it could have been worse. I suspect this won't get 1/100th the coverage that the "smirking" Catholic teen got. Note the article claims the total killed in insurgency over the last 5 decades is 150,000. Where is the news coverage?

There are no political issues regarding Muslim terrorist attacks on USA territory?
 
Americans don’t care about the Philippines, news at 11.
 
But there is tying it to Covington ...

Given the leftwing MSM stressed the kids were Catholics and this attack also is against Catholics, the connection is clear in terms of media coverage - or lack of it.

Except the coverage of a foreign event can't be equated to domestic coverage, especially domestic coverage involving the President's active supporters.

There's Muslim-on-Catholic attacks regularly in mixed religious with strong Islamic presence. Unless they're large in scale or particularly noteworthy, we never hear much about them.
