White House: ISIS extermination of Christians can’t be called genocide yet

The Obama administration says Islamic State’s persecution of Christian minorities in Iraq and Syria is not genocide. The point where it is accurate to term it as such “has not been reached,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said at a press briefing.

Asked whether Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) is practicing genocide in its extermination of Christians in Syria and Iraq, Earnest said: “My understanding is the use of that word involves a very specific legal determination that has at this point not been reached. 

“We have long expressed our concerns with the tendency of – well, not a tendency – a tactic employed by ISIL to slaughter religious minorities in Iraq and in Syria,” he added.

“But we have been quite candid and direct exactly about how ISIL’s tactics are worthy of the kind of international, robust response that the international community is leading. And those tactics include a willingness to target religious minorities, including Christians.”

The 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, says genocide is “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group,” including by means of “killing members of the group.” 

In March 2015, a report from the United Nations Committee on Human Rights stated: “The acts of violence [by IS in Iraq and Syria] perpetrated against civilians because of their affiliation or perceived affiliation to an ethnic or religious group … may constitute genocide.”

Is there some kind of international standard as to genocides?

[john drake]

Because its only killing some to terrorize the rest, or cause the rest to flee so there are none left? If the rest couldn’t flee, the muzz bastards would kill them all. No genocide, right......

[PIF]

It only becomes genocide when the last Christian is put up against the wall ... then it is time to hold conferences, write white papers, and launch study groups to see if this is really genocide or something else.

[PIF]

However, it is genocide when a non-muslim nations attacks a muslim nation for any reason. See: Iraq, Afghanistan.

[marron]

To a muslim, the holocaust never happened... Hitler is revered for it, but it didn’t happen...

I think that is where our president is coming from. When muslims slaughter non-muslims, it is just that kind of historical clutter that is best ignored. A Great Man keeps his eye on the goal.

Another Obama coverup on Iran
(Muslim collusion to advance anti-Christian agenda)
Israel Matzav ^ | 3/3/16 | Carl in Jeruslaem / FR Posted by Nachum

To ensure that its sellout to a nuclear Iran would make its way through Congress, the Obama administration withheld until after the Iran vote a letter written by al- Qaeda chieftain Osama Bin Laden pegging Iran as being the terror group's chief financier.

In a 2007 letter, bin Laden criticized an operative for threatening to attack Iran. “We expect you would consult with us for these important matters, for as you are aware, Iran is our main artery for funds, personnel, and communication, as well as the matter of hostages,” he wrote. Ties between Iran and al Qaeda have been reported for years, with numerous ways by which Iran served as al-Qaeda’s “main artery.”

The letter was part of a collection of 112 letters taken from bin Laden’s compound by U.S. special ops forces after he was killed in 2011.

The collection was made public Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Long after the Iran deal was approved.

If the systematic execution of a designated minority, Christians, by a bloodthirsty and despotic band of Islamic terrorists is not “genocide”, then what is?

Just because they do not keep carefully documented records, does not excuse these Islamic Jihadists in any way from the crimes of murder and mutilation of unarmed civilians.

The Current Regime now in charge of the territory once known as “the United States of America” has once again defined deviancy down. Apparently this is merely “establishing civil order”.

[Popman]

Funny, when Israel kills terrorist, the word genocide against Palistainans is often used...

That must be a special subset of the definition of genocide,

Only when Jews do it...

Muzzie not so much...

[glock rocks]

To the top!

Obama's calculated failure to utter a discouraging word about Christian slaughter by Muslims is a facet of M/M Obama/s get-rich-quick schemes.

That's the way the cunning Clintons got-rich- quick....looking the other away at human rights abuses....just as long as the wealthy abusers ponied up big bucks.

Obama's using the presidency as a cash cow......just as Hillary used the State Dept as a cash cow to enrich her family members and all of the Clinton factotums, their cronies, and donors made out like thieves.

The Clintons soak up humongous foundations donations, pocket huge honoraria and collect enormous paychecks from insider business deals involving armaments, oil, telecoms, mining, uranium deposits, etc etc etc.

The Obamas are salivating----dying to get their hands on the money of these very wealthy Muslims.

The Muslim San Bernardino killers slaughtered a roomful of Christians.

Muslim terrorist Tashfeen Malik had her K-1 fiancee visa approved even though:
(1) she openly posted about committing violent jihad on social media,
(2) gave a falsified Pakistani street address, and,
(3) was a Pakistani migrating from Saudi Arabia (an unusual living arrangement for a single Muslim woman).

Malik was screened by (1) Homeland Security officials, (2) the US State Department, then (3) a third screening after applying for a green card, the NY Times reported.

Homeland Security seeks $41.2 billion budget for 2016
February 4, 2015 By BioPrepWatch Reports

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced a $41.2 billion budget request Monday for the 2016 fiscal year.

The budget would improve the unity of effort at the department, Johnson said, focusing on harmonizing DHS business processes. Along with the budget, a new Common Appropriations Structure was also submitted to Congress, which would standardize financial planning, programming and budgets for all DH agencies, Johnson said.

There are five areas the department focuses on each year, and the budget is in alignment with those five missions, Johnson said.

<><> The first mission is to prevent terrorism and enhance security in the country by implementing security for the land, air and at sea.

<><> The next mission is to secure and manage the countrys borders, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States.

<><> The third mission includes enforcing and administering immigration laws and providing safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern.

<><> The fourth mission deals with safeguarding and securing cyberspace, which impacts economic security. The 2016 budget would invest in technology and staff to reduce cybercrime and improve the security of federal network defenses.

<><> The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster.

Johnson said before Congress approves any funding for the next fiscal year lawmakers should approve funding for the current year.

The Presidents FY 2016 Budget provides the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security to further strengthen our efforts to fulfill our wide-ranging missions, while also being agile and vigilant in the face of ever-evolving threats and recent world events, Johnson said. But prior to acting on the FY 2016 Budget, I urge Congress to fully fund DHS for the rest of this fiscal year, as the current continuing resolution is disruptive, creates uncertainty, and impedes efficient resource planning and execution.

“ISIS extermination of Christians can’t be called genocide yet.”

Why, are there still a few left that they haven’t slaughtered yet. The White House occupant is a Muslim piece of crap.

[stars & stripes forever]

EVIL.

[ronnie raygun]

So if the whitehouse and thier family were being slaughtered daily would this be genocide or would we have to wait and see if it falls under............ .say UN guidlines of genocide?

[Kolokotronis]

In a way, I’m surprised that there isn’t support for this position on FR. From what I’ve seen over the past 6 or 7 years especially, Eastern Christians simply aren’t recognized as “real” Christians on these boards.

Their intent is crystal clear, and killing “infidels” ordered by the Koran. Obama knows this, but he carefully chooses to omit those passages when quoting the Koran. It’s called Taquiya.

White House: Turkish extermination of Armenians can’t be called genocide yet

[MarvinStinson]

Yes.

Muslims can kill the Christians they want to and it’s not ‘genocide.’
