Persecuted Christians
We hear an awful lot of guff about muslims suffering from hate-speech - now since 1st of Jan.a prisonable offence in Germany and spreading, - but who will speak up for the murder of thousands of Christians? Why are our politicians not saying more, (Nigel Farage excepted) , could it be that there are few votes to be gained from speaking out?

How about this?
Predominantly Christian countries unite with their respective churches to apply international sanctions against any country guilty of persecution of Christians?
Imagine if Russian, whose regime has strong links to the Orthodox Church were to throw its weight behind such a scheme.
And with Trump in the White House, and his links to the Christian Right, that’s the US on board too!

'The Bible features heavily in the architecture and decoration of the Houses of Parliament, paying silent tribute to its significance in English jurisprudence. Many old parish churches still have copies of the Ten Commandments on the walls, underlining the importance of the Bible for providing the moral cohesion of society. Most British law is ultimately derived from the codes of law within the Bible, of which the Ten Commandments is pre-eminent. The equality of all people before the law is another of its legacies.'
To this must be added the heritage of the arts, in literature, poetry painting, sculpture and music. Whether you have decided to be an atheist, agnostic or muslim, if you live in Britain, you live within a Christian ethos.

SP states (stress added by me): "Other ... groups organise themselves into lobby groups and effect change. Other groups stand up for what is right in the face of discrimination...
If religious groups face discrimination, then they should do what other groups do. Stand their ground and demand equality.".
There are some specialised micro-environments where this is exactly the right course of action to follow, SP. These niche environments are, of course, the Western democracies where the rule of law still pertains largely. But let's imagine the application of the SP strategy in different cultural contexts. How would the strategy have worked for German Jews in the 1930s? Or black slaves in the antebellum Southern states?
And here's a modern example - a village in Sisi's Egypt where the police (as police sometimes do) choose to look the other way:

Your accusation of moral weakness implied in the comment "unless of course, they’re waiting for others to do it on their behalf" wouldn't be fair in this case, or the two previous examples, would it?
I prefer your later post where you acknowledge that some victims need champions:
"With Christians around the world banding together against oppression, using both international sanctions, and individual boycotts - wouldn’t that be the best way to effect change?"
The complaint in the OP that this isn't happening.
