Death for being a Christian
The Washington Times ^ | November 23, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 11/22/2009 9:14:04 AM PST by Abakumov

A 15-year-old Egyptian girl, Dina el-Gohary, has written an emotional appeal to President Obama asking him to use his influence to save her father, Maher el-Gohary, who is being persecuted for his beliefs. "Mr. President Obama, we are a minority in Egypt," Dina writes, according to a report from the Assyrian International News Agency. "We are treated very badly. ... We are imprisoned in our own home because Muslim clerics called for the murder of my father, and now the Government has set for us a new prison, we are imprisoned in our own country."

Dina and her father are Christian converts in a part of the world where conversion can mean death.

Wrong person to ask. This isn’t President Bush.

Exactly the point. Maybe a few more bows would help.

This poor misguided young girl is appealing to the wrong person.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama has little empathy for Christians, and especially those who are apostate Muslims turned Christian.

This is happening in America. Rifqa Bary is imprisoned in solitary confinement in Ohio for the “crime” of converting from islam to Christianity.

I guess she doesn’t know that Barack Hussein Obama has already said he stands with the Muslims.

Well, to be fair, it’s been a long, long time since America stood up for Christians around the world. But Obama is far worse than any of his predecessors.

He’s not just politically correct and naive. He’s a Muslim Christian-hater. That church of his in Chicago was not Christian in any meaningful sense of the word. It was basically Black Muslim with a perverted Christian veneer. (God hates the Jews and the Romans, i.e., whites. And Jesus is not Jewish but black.)

“”We are treated very badly. ... We are imprisoned in our own home because Muslim clerics called for the murder of my father, and now the Government has set for us a new prison...””

Coming soon to a city near you.

Sadly, PBO does not stand with the Christians.

The poor girl doesn’t realize that she is asking a muslim to bail her out. Even if the great zero wasn’t a muslim, he’s a total coward, and would do nothing anyway.

Meanwhile in this country Muslim extremists in the military are not scrutinized and allowed to open fire on fellow soldiers. Hmmm....

“Death for being a Christian”

A 2000 year-old tradition that has never gone away.
