Obama would have been perfectly happy for the CHristians to be erased from Iraq.
Unfortunately for his “World must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” action plan — the Yazidis trapped on Mount Sindar came to the attention of the world.
Yazidis aren’t Christian.
True, Obummer doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about the plight of the Christians in Iraq and is rather perturbed that he had to take time off from his time off to give the pitiful response he has.
If you listened to his speech the other night, he mentioned the word "christian", only once. His focus was on the Yazidis and their struggle. These ancient people follow a religion that is a cross between Zoroastrianism and Islam. The Muslims refer to them as "devil worshippers". It is because of the Yazidis, it seems, that O agreed to do limited strikes and drop some food.
Christian persecution rarely makes the news. This event is no exception. The US went back into Iraq, to help the Yazidis.
