Obama must assign a higher priority to confronting Islamic persecution of Christians

Some prominent voices have been raised in protest, but what may be the most severe persecution of Christians in centuries continues to expand. The Obama administration, while making conventional obeisance declines, for reasons observers can only speculate, to make the Islamist martyrdom of Christians a high-priority policy issue. The president’s remarks on the issue, such as they are, seem to be muffled by fear of rebuke from Muslim moderates obsessed with persecution of Muslims in the Crusades of a thousand years ago.

Pope Francis last year told a delegation of Jews, headed by Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, that he believes the world is already entangled in World War III, but unlike the first two world wars, which began with dramatic events, “this war is coming in stages. The Jews were savagely abused and the world was silent, and now it’s the Christians who suffer death and suffering and an indifferent world falls silent.” Mr. Lauder says Christians in Iraq and Syria are even identified with a symbol bearing the Hebrew letter for the English letter N, for Nazarene, “much as the yellow star was used in the past against European Jewry.”

He is providing the funds and weapons to kill the Christians. That’s part and parcel of building up the worldwide islamonazi caliphate ( empire). The last thing he wants to do is “protect” the infidel.

He won’t. He hates Christians - and Jesus Christ. Good luck at the judgment, Obunghole.

” Mr. Lauder says Christians in Iraq and Syria are even identified with a symbol bearing the Hebrew letter for the English letter N “

It’s not the Hebrew letter it is the Arabic letter .
It is not only the Christians who are being persecuted but also the Jewish people . Islam hates both . When people who call themselves Christians support the “Palestinians” they are supporting the same evil that kills them .

Obama cares none for either .

You are absolutely correct; the so-called "journalists" are utterly delusional, spiritually/Satanically deceived and remain blind to the undeniable fact that Obama completely supports the Christian persecution and has been/is doing everything within his power to aid and abet the Muslim butchers perpetrating the ongoing, wholesale genocide of professing Christians.

Thus is clearly evident through all of the actions his entire "administration" have and have not been taking throughout his presidency concerning this issue.

IMHO Barry Obama is a closet Muslim if nothing else.

Obama has already assigned the highest possible priority to promoting Islamic persecution of Christians. Given Obama’s hatred for everything good, that will not change.
