Pressure is mounting on the Obama administration to take action following a unanimous Congressional vote Monday approving a resolution to designate the persecution of Christians and other minorities in the Mid East by the Islamic State as “genocide.”
The resolution, which passed in the House in a 383-0 vote, comes ahead of a March 17 deadline requiring Secretary of State John Kerry to announce a final decision.
The designation would legally categorize the targeting, torture, uprooting and slaughtering of Christians, Yazidis and Kurds as "genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity."
For the executive branch to officially take a position on such a determination, however, entails a more detailed legal review, requiring Sec. Kerry and his legal advisors to determine whether the treatment of Christians and others meets the definition of “genocide,” which according to the United Nations Convention is "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group."

I don’t believe Obama cares
this will just drag on...until the muzzie is out of office
Its very clear that Emperor Obama despises doing anything to reflect negatively on his fellow Muslims.
Sure he cares. It is a great accomplishment for his co-religionists and the advancement of Islam over the infidels.
I am waiting for the next President, either Trump or Cruz to respond.
I’m curious about the 52 no shows.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me. ..................
Of course it meets the test of acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, just listen to the terrorist's words. And note, the test is destroy, not murder. The expulsion of Jews from their millennia long homes in the Mideast and North Africa was an act of genocide as well. A very successful one which to this day incurs no criticism.
Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Article III: The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.
A few were probably legit. Even if you’re OK with attacks on Christians, it’s hard to come out and say it.
**The resolution, which passed in the House in a 383-0 vote**
WOW! That was even more than voted for WWII!
President Trump will sign this as he rescinds every EO from the Muslim formerly in Charge,
If they go slow enough they’ll all be dead.
Obama will simply ignore the resolution.
and the White House ? cricket sounds
Oh he cares, he just cares about ISIS winning.
And we needed Congress to figure this out?
We are so fu**ing screwed!
It's just another ploy to eradicate the existence of Israel....and people don't even notice!
Bigger ?, IMO, what would be the tally in an OFF-election year?? I’d wager not 100%
