I think most people missed this..
Important for Christians and ALL to be aware of IMO....this is what we’re up against....straight from Washington itself!
(Sept. 3,2014 “Ceremony in Honor of Special Representative to Muslim Communities Shaarik Zafar”)
(exerts)
Kerry begins:....... “Good morning to everybody...” Assalamu alaikum.”.....
.....”When Shaarik started drafting the U.S. Strategy on Religious Leader and Faith Community Engagement, he began with two words: ...“Religion matters.”... We’re making that a ‘MANTRA’ here at the State Department in our FOREIGN POLICY’.....
The real face of Islam is NOT when the world bore witness to the unfathomable brutality of ISIL terrorist murderers..........Now barbarity, sadly, is not new to our world. ...Neither is evil.... And I can’t think of a more graphic description of evil than what we witnessed with James Foley, and what we see in the unbelievably brutal mass executions of people because of their sectarian or religious ‘affiliation.’
I want to take advantage of this podium and of this moment to.. ‘underscore as powerfully as I know how’.. The real face of Islam is a peaceful religion based on the dignity of all human beings......They’re an essential part of our national fabric, and we are committed to deepening our partnerships with them. .......We’re making these efforts “to unite religious communities”.... “a core mission here at the State Department”
(Now he preaches)
Now people ask me why. Why now have we made this such a mission at the State Department?...And the answer is really very simple:........ It’s a delusion to think that anyone can just retreat to their own safe space, not when people of all faiths are migrating and mingling as never before in history. The reality is that our faiths and our fates are inextricably linked. And that is profoundly why we must do this now, because they are linked..
Our fates are inextricably linked on any number of things that we must confront and deal with in policy concepts today. Earth, the planet.... Before God created man, He created Heavens and Earth. Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face. ... and you can see this duty or responsibility laid down in scriptures, clearly, beginning in Genesis..... And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable.
.....We need to reach ‘beyond’ government ‘to include religious leaders and faith communities’ all of them working together to invest in a future that embraces tolerance and understanding, and yes, even love.
When you go back and study the major faith traditions, there is one thing that really does leap out at you... in all faiths and in all philosophies of way of life and thinking.... every single one of them contains a fundamental basic notion of the Golden Rule – the importance of charity, compassion, and human improvement.
Our faiths teach us that we are more than the sum of our differences. We ‘share a moral obligation’ to treat one another with dignity and respect. And I am so proud that at the foundation of everything that this Department and that our foreign policy tries to do are those fundamental values.
Today, we need to draw on that common faith and what must be our common hope to work for peace and put our ‘universal’ commitments’ and ‘universal beliefs’ into action.
We’re making these efforts to unite religious communities a core mission here at the State Department.

Someone needs to and soon or it's sure to be too late...two years is a lot of time to use Executive privilege...and with certainty we know this administration will do so right up to the last hour.
