The mass torture, murder and displacement of Christian families and other religious minorities in the Middle East must be called by its real name genocide members of Congress said Thursday at a gathering of a nonpartisan organization that advocates against religious persecution.
We cant sit idly by we have to commit to action, Rep. Daniel Lipinski, Illinois Democrat, said at a meeting of supporters of In Defense of Christians on Capitol Hill.

Hey, ‘Rat snail-mail over 2A “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The USA did a great job rescuing those Coptic Christians by the million, relocating them safely, getting them to our shores for safety, and defending their flight from Iraq.
Oh, never mind.... my mistake— it’s the Syrian Muslims to whom Obama is lending aide and comfort and relocation.
Silly me.
History repeats itself. Following the New York Times leadership, we see the same leftist media that denied the genocide of the Ukrainian peasants by Stalin, and kept silent during the Jewish Holocaust by the Nazis, and the Cambodian mass murder by the Communists, now keeps an accomplice silence while the Muslim are exterminating the Christian in the Middle East and Africa.
Although FDR knew of the mass extermination of Jews, he denied refuge in U.S. to the few Jews that were able to escape from Nazi occupied Europe. Now Obama is denying refuge to the Christians who are being slaughtered by Muslims while Obama is receiving in U.S. tens thousands of Muslim culprits for the mass extermination of Christians.
