According to the Obama administration, the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, etc.) is committing genocide against certain religious minority groups — excluding Christian minorities. During a February 29 press briefing, White House spokesman Josh Earnest was asked: "Is the Islamic State carrying out a campaign of genocide against Syria's Christians?"

"Update: Not long after the publication of this article media sources reported that, “The Islamic State is committing genocide against Yazidis, Christians and Shiite Muslims in Iraq and Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry declared on Thursday [today]…. Kerry’s decision was welcomed by lawmakers and faith-based advocacy groups who have lobbied for months to ensure that Christians would be included among the genocide victims of the Islamic State.” Despite this welcomed news, a review of the Obama administration’s original rejection of the term “genocide” — conceding only now, days after the House of Representatives voted 393 to 0 on a resolution that does describe Christians as victims of genocide — as well as any number of previous administration biases against Christian minorities in the Islamic world are all chronicled in the following article and remain instructive."

Can’t call it accurately “genocide” when YOU are sponsoring
it can you?

cryptoMoslem Obama and his voters are directly
responsible for every crucifixion that happened
in Libya, Syria, and Egypt, for every rape and
enslavement everywhere under Islam, and most murders
in Israel and Lebanon.

He resisted calling it genocide because he fully supports jihad, and considers it justified, because he’s a muslim.

Because saying Muslims anywhere commit genocide goes against the unassailable narrative that Islam is a religion of peace. Of course, Obama has declared that ISIS isn’t Muslim, so that problem is solved.

In face, ISIS is probably about Israel (somehow).

You mean the Black Pope currently wearing the hat?

A real Pope would have, and been vocal enough that the question would have been moot.

Because then he would have had to do something about it.

Exactly right, they’re all lawyers and fear indictment for war crimes later on if the political winds “shift in an ugly direction” against them,

On a larger picture this is the spirit of antichrist at work, Obama is a demonic Sunni Muslim in secret, its spiritual warfare against believers and the US State Department is going out of its way to accommodate its evil master,

Oboma may, or may not, actually “be” a Muslim.
But he absolutely, unqualified SUPPORTS and DEFENDS and encourages and promotes Muslims, USES liberal Jewish and Christian hypocrisy and their biases for everything that he can - while abjectly hating Jews and conservative Christians.

“The Islamic State is committing genocide against Yazidis, Christians and Shiite Muslims in Iraq and Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry declared on Thursday [17Mar2016]….

Finally admitting that genocide has been taking place, does not imply that the current administration will take appropriate action. They are temporarily placating those concerned with genocide of Christians.

Obama and the godless Democrats do not like Christians because Christians are against abortion and same sex marriage. I would not expect any significant action by this corrupt administration. I hope that I am wrong in this assessment.

Agree with everything you said, but I still say he’s a muslim. Maybe not a kneel-towards-Mecca-several-times-a-day muslim, but ideologically and emotionally, absolutely a muslim.

Where? When? I’m familiar with his pronouncements about distributing wealth, the evils of capitalism, the need for open borders, how we must take in the “migrants” and his prayers for the martyrs...but nothing about genocide and the systematic targeting and killing of Christians in the Middle East.

Sending weapons to the drug cartels to commit mass murder was “overlooked” as well by obama. Actually he just doesn’t care.

Obama is just being consistent. He is anti-Christian when it comes to American Christians so why shouldn’t he be anti-Christian when it comes to Syrian or Iraqi Christians?
