Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is being criticized by The New Republic for concern over Christians after Syrian rebels attacked a Syrian Christian village.
In an article titled Rand Pauls Syria Bible Thumping: Why does he only seem to care about the countrys Christians? journalist Julia Ioffe rails, Pauls emphasis on Syrian Christians is more than a simple reminder of a neglected aspect of an already complicated situation.
Ioffe continues, Rands concern over Christians in Syria sounds distinctly like the garbage about America being a Christian nation, like the unnerving evangelical support of Israel, like the not-too-subtle hum on the right that some lives, Christian lives, are simply more important than other, Muslim ones.
On Wednesday morning, rebels from the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra group launched the assault on predominantly Christian Maaloula, some 60 kilometers (40 miles) northeast of Damascus, according to a Syrian government official and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an anti-regime group, The Associated Press reported.
Maaloula is a mountain village with about 2,000 residents, who are among a tiny group in the region that still speaks a version of Aramaic, the ancient language of biblical times also believed to have been spoken by Jesus.
At the start of the attack, an al-Nusra fighter blew himself up at a regime checkpoint at the entrance to the village, said the Observatory, which collects information from a network of anti-regime activists, AP said.
AP spoke to a nun from the village who chose to remain anonymous. Its a war. It has been going from 6 a.m. in the morning, she said from her convent, which houses 13 nuns and 27 orphans. She said around 80 people from the village had come to the convent for safety.

So what is she going to do about it? Isn’t she advocating proselytism of her own in he interventionism? I guess we cannot tech bad children to behave with Christians. Someone tells this idiot that pointing the plight of Christians is not necessarily bout benefiting them but about benefiting the rest into being of food manners.
But this evil evious selfish ill creature is so jealous and narcissistic, it rather would see evil around her than see good lest anyone but herself would benefit from good.
These people are faithless evil stupid fools.
Said the Marxist rag founded and historically published by Jewish progressives.
I care about the Christians in Syria, and any other non Muslim group wanting to survive. Too bad we can’t stash them safely away while the Muslims kill each other.
It’s a pity that Rand Paul can’t come out with a statement like, “America needs to care about Syrian Christians, because they are the only decent people in Syria. Both Muslims and atheists are so obnoxious that Americans can’t be expected to care if they slaughter each other.”
“unnerving evangelical support of Israel”
The little pig-writer’s nerves are fragile indeed.See the common anti-Christian theme in her scribbling?
Oh, how I hope people like her get abducted by some muslim terrorists, or Mexican terrorists. And I want to see it on video. That’s cruel. But it’s the only way to win. We have to be as mean as they are. “Plum damn mad dog mean.”
Sorry, I got that wrong. Charlotte Errity is the reporter for the article in Daily Caller. I meant to say Julia Ioffe is a dyke. She’s the author of the article at New Republic that Charlotte is writing about.
Liberal socialists and Mohammedans do not understand the concept of people simply wanting to be left alone.
The war-whores sure are out in force.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]

Or does he just like the idea of having sex with himelf?
I agree with aid for Egypt’s military. They deal with illegals and islamists.
Which is probably why his publication is complaining about opposition to persecuting and murdering Christians.
I believe that homosexuality and narcissism are inextricably linked. We lived in a narcissistic time with the most narcissistic president ever so the rise of homosexuality in our culture is a consequence of that in my humble opinion.
Christians are being purged in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and now Syria.
The Iraqi population dropped by half from about 700,000 in 2000 to 350,000 in 2012. (3% to 1.5%)
The Syrian population is about 2.5 million. They know what happened in Iraq. They have every right to be anxious.
Rand Paul has every right to be concerned.
So Rand Paul has more sympathy for Christians than for Muslims. The horror!
I guess Obama's priorities are more to Ioffe's liking, as Obama only seems to have humanitarian concerns when the victims of an alleged injustice are Muslims, blacks, or homosexuals.
One more reason I’ve had it with Republicans even after I had to leave the bunch of high-spoken hippie idiots that the Libertarian Party had become.
