Obama blocks Iraqi nun from describing Christian persecution
WND ^ | May 1, 2015 | Leo Hohmann

A leading conservative is asking why the Obama State Department is barring a persecuted Iraqi nun from entry into the United States to share her message about the brutal treatment of Christians in her country.

Nina Shea of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, writes in a National Review op-ed that Sister Diana Momeka is “an internationally respected and leading representative of the Nineveh Christians who have been killed and deported by ISIS.

The Obama Administration is dishonestly disallowing a VISA to a persecuted Catholic nun from Iraq. The theory is they don't want Americans to know how Catholics are being persecuted in the middle east.

The answer is simple: She is not likely to be a Democrat voter.

Because Obama does not want the truth to come out that his buddies are killing Christians in the lands that he supports. This nun is a real threat to Obama’s manhood, even though he is an emasculated male. emasculated for those whom do not understand is that Mother Teresa had more balls than Obama does. No really emasculated means he has no balls

This has really been bothering me for the last few days. A group of conservative politicians ( ie. Jindal, Cruz, Rubio, Walker, etc.) need to make a big deal about this, express their support for the Nun, visit talk shows and encourage Rush to make this be as a symbol for Obama-Kerry foreign policy.

Obama does everything in his power to quash all criticism of his barbarian pals, the Moslems.

I nominate your comment for comment of the day here. That is exactly what can and SHOULD be done.

Well, all she needs to do is come to Mexico, and walk across the border in Arizona...REAL simple, especially if she has a lot of children she is bringing. She can declare immediate REFUGEE status and bypass the process..MILLIONS do.

As a further thing, raising the issue in the manner you suggest would also potentially make a certain former Secretary of State’s record on the Middle East even more radioactive than it presently is. Therefore, making your idea even more better from that sort of standpoint.

Obama keeps flooding America with an invasion force full of his anti-American islamonazi comrades from every krapistan on earth. But. Christian nun? Personna non grata! Let her be axed or burnt or crucified by the islamonazis !! Any more questions about Obama’s true loyalties?

I think the administration’s tactics here are as openly contemptuous of American Christians as they are of Mideast Christians. Thus, it should be a big political issue here.

Is the New York Times rushing to ask Hillary how she feels about this abuse at the hands of Obama?

Obama’s policy is anti-Christian and pro-Islam and pro-Marxist.

In January 17,2015, and the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a pro-Shariah law event, by supporters Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicate in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 2003. I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if some patriotic American had irrupted in Muslim rally on January 2015 and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists. After all, Americans are profoundly offended by the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians alive, a real grievance more justified than the alleged offense provoked among the Islamic fanatics by the Mohamed cartoons.

Shea states that the State Department officials made the determination that the Catholic nun “could be falsely asserting that she intends to visit Washington when secretly she could be intending to stay. That would constitute illegal immigration, and that, of course, is strictly forbidden. Once here, she could also be at risk for claiming political asylum, and the U.S. seems determined to deny ISIS’s Christian victims that status.”

The people in the Middle East most deserving of entry into the US - displaced Christians - seem to be at the top of the list of those to be denied. The US invasion of Iraq, and then the disastrous and stupid decisions made by Obama are responsible for the displacement of the remaining Christians in Iraq.
