And its Catholic priests because the other Christian religions refer to them as Ministers/Pastors/Preachers or other titles, different religions have different titles for their clergy.

So we can be specific with the names of clergy ... but we can't cover
all those killed as easter worshipers even if we know ..

So explain to me how based on your statement that easter worshipers
doesn't clearly suggest those celebrating a Christian Holiday aka Christians
Yet the POTUS doesn't call them christians either but theres no issue ??

WDMSO, neither Obama nor Hilary would have EVER referred to the New Zealand victims as "Ramadan worshippers". Not ever. If you asked them why they would never refer to them that way, they'd say it would have been insulting and offensive. But it's more than OK to refer to Christians as such.
And they don't worship "Easter". They celebrate the resurrection and ascension of Christ. We don't worship candy or colored eggs or bunnies carrying baskets.
Phrasing it the way they did, is demeaning and trivializing. Everyone tells me what a brilliant speaker Obama was, so I can only assume it was intentional.

My proof is, and it's pretty solid as far as proof goes, is that neither Hilary nor Obama has ever once referred to muslims as "Ramadan worshippers".
Either prove me wrong, or admit I'm right, please?

it's not evidence its a conspiracy draw conclusion in your Head AKA a lie why because those people killed were not killed during Ramadan ( Ramadan 2019 in United States will begin in the evening of Sunday, May 5 and ends in the evening of Tuesday, June 4
they were killed during Prayer so of course neither Hilary nor Obama has ever once referred to muslims as "Ramadan worshippers". .. ( is that prove enough how wrong you are?
again why no issues with Trump with mentions of christians or easter
PS here is a Trump fact I am sure you didn't know
U.S. President Donald Trump released an official statement from the White House marking the holiday, "As so many people unite to celebrate Ramadan, Melania and I join in the hope for a blessed month. Ramadan Mubarak." The statement, however, did not appear on either Trump's or the White House's official Twitter accounts - a rare move for the avid social media friendly White House.
he base wouldn't like that. would they
again funny one term is religious the other General
/ˈwərSHəpər/
noun
plural noun: worshipers
a person who shows reverence and adoration for a deity.
cel·e·brate
/ˈseləˌbrāt/
acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity.
"they were celebrating their wedding anniversary at a restaurant"
synonyms: commemorate, observe, honor, mark, salute, recognize, acknowledge, remember, memorialize,
so Trump can say many people unite to celebrate Ramadan is fine
but the Term easter worshipers Bad .. and with that I am done

Hey, feel free to put words in their mouths why don't you. Jim, your ability to just make #^&#^&#^&#^& up and have total confidence in your speculation is utterly Trump like.

Easter is about the resurrection. The people there were worshiping the resurrection. Easter Worshipers.

The Associated Press used the exact same term after the Notre Dame fire.
This whole thing is just fake outrage and a device conservatives are very practiced at. Make a ridiculous grand conspiracy charge, i.e. liberals hate Christians and then twist yourself into a pretzel to spin everything to support the narrative.

"This whole thing is just fake outrage"
So you have the ability to read people's minds. Impressive.
The idiot mayor of South Bend who is running for potus, has publicly said again and again and again (before announcing his run), what a good guy Pence is. But as soon as he declared his run, at that exact nanosecond, he decided Pence was a gay-bashing hatemonger, and has been bashing Pence non-stop,
Now, this mayor went to Harvard and Oxford, and worked at Mackenzie. So we can assume he's sharp. And for some reason, he has concluded it will benefit his campaign in the primary, if he goes on a mission to tell everyone how horrible Pences views on homosexuality are.
So here's my question to you, Spence, is why did this very smart guy, conclude that his popularity among democrats would increase, if he relentlessly bashed Christianity?
Answer...liberals hate christians!!!
And he claims to be a Christian, and expresses that, by embracing late term abortion and by smearing a nice guy. Hooray!!
If you read every history book ever written, you wouldn't find a comparable case of an entire political party so willingly throwing themselves upon the sword. These crazy ideas will play well in places that they will win anyway (CT and CA), if you think that's the way to win in OH, NC, and FL, good for you...

Correct. Easter is the name given to the day, on which Christians celebrate he resurrection and ascension. We celebrate what we believe took place, not the day.
What matters, is that neither Obama nor Hilary would ever refer to Muslims as Ramadan worshipers. Liberals like Muslims, so they treat them well. Liberals cannot stand true Christians (because of abortion, gay marriage, etc), so we get the middle finger at every opportunity.
