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.”
Most bullies that I've known are cowards.
As for the GOPe; they're no different, they just want to bully conservatives.
I believe his comment was “a Muslim loving Marxist” not a Muslim and a Marxist. In any event, search the phrase “islamic socialism” and you will find examples, such as Yasser Arafat and Moammar Gadhafi.
ROFL
I recieved that comment on another post.....makes the “toon” even more funny!
“As for the GOPe; they’re no different, they just want to bully conservatives. “
YEP
> 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.
That only applies if you’re a mere mortal man..../s
The GOPe are in agreement with Obama.
Remember how they were talking about passing amnesty?
Remember how they swore to crush
conservatives?
Remember how they supported the NSA and IRS in their corrupt operations?
Why all the shock and awe about Obama’s hatred for Christians...he told us early on that he’d always fall on the side of Islam.
He’s demonstrated it time and time again, hiding behind his invisibility cloak of being black...the “get out of trouble” card for any occasion.
Are the “leaders” of this country going to have to be dressed in orange jumpsuits and pushed to a kneeling position with a cimitar hovering over them before they finally say, “Ooooooohhhh, NOW I get it!”?
I know
I think youre closest to the correct answer. Barry is for Barry and no one else. Hey, he’s the consummate narcissist. He’ll do whatever is needed to promote himself and be the center of attention...
"YOLO!"
To admit that the beheaded were not just random beheadings ( like the Jewish deli in France ) he would have to discuss ISLAM ...and we all know THAT is an untouchable religion
I don't think we matter to Obama....
Obama the Dumbass didn’t have a problem talking about faith when he MADE A POINT to comment on the deaths of those college students at Chapel Hill.
People died, Obama said YOLO
.
They are Daesh in Arabic and they hate it.
checked out abc, no mention at all today of beheadings, cbs has the retaliation by Egypt for Coptic Christians, nbc has no mention of christians but does mention beheadings.
You have to figure they are treating Christians the same as any other non-racist statement, eh?
Baath Party (Saddam and Assad). Arab communist, with a touch of national socialism.
You certainly can. Just look at his actions. He is totally supportive of his Muslim upbringing and the Muslim objectives in the ME and he was raised a Marxist by his grandparents and F.M Davis and all the others that he bragged about in his books. Realize that Obama does whatever Obama thinks will further his objectives which are transforming the USA into a socialist state with he and his friends at the helm and tearing down the social order around the world to finally achieve Agenda 101 or something very much like it...a one world socialist/Marxist state run buy a select oligarchy of which he envisions himself the H N W I C!
“It burns and stings his inner being when he says that word.”
I read your post earlier and it made me laugh. I keep reading of other accounts about how Obama tiptoed around the word “Christian”. I think what you said is true.
