Injustices happen every day.
Innocent people die every day.
Unless there is something I can connect with, my prayer would not be so fervent-- if I prayed at all.
Not once did I pray for the Muslims being persecuted by the Christians in the Balkans during the 1990's. It never came into my mind to pray for them. I definitely was not asked by the Supt. of the UPCI to pray for them.

In the 1990's? Do you have a reference for that?

Was I wrong for not praying for them?
What would I pray-- that God would would deliver them with His Mighty Hand? Why would I do that? They are Muslims. They deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God!
Do you consider other non-Apostolic Christians to be your brothers and sisters in Christ?

Based on your post, I almost feel that you're projecting. 
So many things happen every day, that no - obviously, I don't pray about them all. However, it's not uncommon for me to stop and pray about something in the news, such as a catastrophe or war or maybe children missing, etc. It has to do with it being brought to my attention in one way or another.
Why wouldn't you pray? If you believe someone isn't a Christian, that makes their loss of life even more tragic, since they may not meet their maker on good terms.
