ISIS Genocide Victims Do Not Include Christians, the State Department Is Poised to Rule
National Review ^ | November 13, 2015 | Nina Shea

Posted on 11/16/2015 7:22:32 PM PST by detective

A report by a renowned journalist states that Christians are to be excluded from an impending official United States government declaration of ISIS genocide. If true, it would reflect a familiar pattern within the administration of a politically correct bias that views Christians - even non-Western congregations such as those in Iraq and Syria - never as victims but always as Inquisition-style oppressors. (That a State Department genocide designation for ISIS may be imminent was acknowledged last week in congressional testimony, by Ambassador Anne Patterson, the assistant secretary of the State Department’s Near East Bureau.)

Answer this: when was the last time that the US Government (of either party, sorry to say) defended Christians from persecution?

Rwanda is a recent example.

Iraq is another one (even before Zero entered office).

He’s just a muslim so that’s a given. It’s expected. The true evil is the GOP that has sat silently and allowed all these abuses to everything America stands for. That is true evil. They KNOW what good is and reject it to assist evil.

Probably the American Revolution and The War of Northern Aggression. Would this mean that Christians would be considered enemy combatants?

Of course not.
The crucifixions and slavery was a DIRECT result
of Clinton, Kerry, McCain, Obama and the
submissive, and evil complicit GOP which lied
to America to destroy the American people.

Why do I get the feeling that the Obama administration would have found no evidence of nazi genocide against the Jews after inspecting Auschwitz in 1943.

But were they being persecuted because they were Christians?

Seriously, the last time we ever went up against the Muslims was the Barbary Wars (even in WWI, the ones who went up against the Turks were the Brits -- to include the ANZACs).

“to rule”? Is that like “settled science”?

IOW, no relation to the truth.

The Reagan administration defended Christians in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union from Communist persecution.

There was something rotten at the State Dept. even before the twin evils of Hussein and Hitlery. And you can add now kerry to the mix. But of course, it’s gotten demonstrably worse.
