The 21 men beheaded on a Mediterranean beach in a video released by Islamist savages Sunday were killed because of their Coptic Christian faith, by men who proclaimed the reason for the murders before the whole world. And the White House won’t say the word.

“The United States condemns the despicable and cowardly murder of 21 Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists,” a statement issued by the White House said.
“ISIL’s barbarity knows no bounds. It is unconstrained by faith, sect, or ethnicity. This wanton killing of innocents is just the most recent of the many vicious acts perpetrated by ISIL-affiliated terrorists against the people of the region, including the murders of dozens of Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai, which only further galvanizes the international community to unite against ISIL. “
Typical of the Obama White House, the statement waffles on the one central fact of the matter. The men butchered on the beach weren’t just Egyptian “citizens.” And they weren’t just “innocents.”
They were Christians, murdered for their faith. And the murderers made no bones about it. The sick propaganda movie describes the victims as “people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian [Coptic] church.”
But the White House remains stubbornly, deliberately obtuse.
Fortunately, not every world capital is as constrained.
In England, Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement saying he was “appalled by the murder of Christians in Libya, a simply barbaric and inhumane act.”
And in Rome, Pope Francis denounced the murders for what they were.
“Their only words were: ‘Jesus, help me!’ They were killed simply for the fact that they were Christians,” he said while addressing visiting clergy from the Church of Scotland, according to Reuters.
“The blood of our Christian brothers and sisters is a testimony which cries out be heard. It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians!”
But for the Obama White House, Islamist terrorists – acting in the name of their faith – have nothing to do with Islam. And Christian victims – chosen for specifically for their faith – have nothing to do with Christianity.
Because President Obama can’t call them “Christians.”
#ChristianLivesMatter
Because he doesn’t care.
Period.
Full stop.
End of story.

He’s a Muslim loving Marxist. Get used to it.
You can’t be both a Marxist and a Muslim. One requires you to be a non-God believer, and the other the opposite. You will have to pick one and just go with it.
The administration says ISIL. The media says ISIS. The subhuman savages call themselves IS.
How about everyone call them what they want?
Obama is a coward.
Now that he’s in his home stretch, Obama isn’t even trying to hide his feelings. Maybe he’s maintaining a little bit of “plausible deniablility” so as not to completely undercut the Dems in 2016, but he sure isn’t trying very hard.
I’m waiting for a Primetime speech where he smiles at the camera, says “Allahu Akbar” “Inshallah” and reveals all.
I wonder if and when it will occur, or if he’ll leave it to his biographers. Prudence dictates he wait, narcissism pressures him to wave it in our faces.
Odumbo is a chameleon. He is whatever his audience wants him to be.
Today is the feast day of St. Daniel, a fourth century Egyptian martyr who was beheaded for trying to help Christian slaves. God is watching and he has brought these men home to Him.

What’s really surprising here is that the MSM has had to admit ISIS is operating in LIBYA.
Libya - the place that Obama and Hillary Clinton turned on its head and turned into a Jihadi wasteland. Place where they attempted to install the Muslim Brotherhood by “leading from behind.” The place were all chaos is caused by an internet video.
Yes - Obama and Hillary’s handiwork.
Is anyone surprised ?
It doesn’t really matter to the Sultan what sort of infidels are beheaded.
I hope everyone sees that the “cosmic battle” is getting closer and closer to the surface.
But, the longer the anti-christian side can keep their attacks hidden, the more likely they are to succeed.
Once they waken that sleeping giant of Christian Soldiers, they’re going to have a real fight on their hands.
