The 21 men beheaded on a Mediterranean beach in a video released by Islamist savages Sunday were killed because of their Coptic Christian faith, by men who proclaimed the reason for the murders before the whole world. And the White House won’t say the word.

“The United States condemns the despicable and cowardly murder of 21 Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists,” a statement issued by the White House said.
“ISIL’s barbarity knows no bounds. It is unconstrained by faith, sect, or ethnicity. This wanton killing of innocents is just the most recent of the many vicious acts perpetrated by ISIL-affiliated terrorists against the people of the region, including the murders of dozens of Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai, which only further galvanizes the international community to unite against ISIL. “
Typical of the Obama White House, the statement waffles on the one central fact of the matter. The men butchered on the beach weren’t just Egyptian “citizens.” And they weren’t just “innocents.”
They were Christians, murdered for their faith. And the murderers made no bones about it. The sick propaganda movie describes the victims as “people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian [Coptic] church.”
But the White House remains stubbornly, deliberately obtuse.
Fortunately, not every world capital is as constrained.
In England, Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement saying he was “appalled by the murder of Christians in Libya, a simply barbaric and inhumane act.”
And in Rome, Pope Francis denounced the murders for what they were.
“Their only words were: ‘Jesus, help me!’ They were killed simply for the fact that they were Christians,” he said while addressing visiting clergy from the Church of Scotland, according to Reuters.
“The blood of our Christian brothers and sisters is a testimony which cries out be heard. It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians!”
But for the Obama White House, Islamist terrorists – acting in the name of their faith – have nothing to do with Islam. And Christian victims – chosen for specifically for their faith – have nothing to do with Christianity.
Because President Obama can’t call them “Christians.”
Per Obama Christians = Christian Crusaders which are part of the problem plaguing us today.
Now before you get on your high horse about these things.... rememeber the Crusades!
Obama doesn’t call them Christians because he wishes to prevent people from identifying with them. He is not yet at the stage where he would poins to such things as warnings to Christian infidels.
He can’t say the word “Christians” in a noble or sympathetic context. It burns and stings his inner being when he says that word.
He can, however, say it in the context of high horses, Crusades, or Inquisitions. When he does that, he receives stimulation in the pleasure centers of his brain, much like the introduction of endorphins.
He is EVIL. Not stupid, not misguided, not “in over his head”.
EVIL.
May the Lord bless the souls of these men who were so brutally murdered. We live in challenging times, it is going to get much worse before it gets any better. Pray for guidance.
Obama is a coward, who is also a bully. The only reason he gets away with being a bully is the GOPe.
Nope, he only harangued President Bush once again for getting us into two 'needless' wars.
Almost literally, whistling past the graveyard.
” He is EVIL. Not stupid, not misguided, not “in over his head”.”
Thank you.
We have to start calling it what it is.
And, Thank YOU for your affirmation! :-)
Islam serves nicely as Marx's, "opiate of the masses." Until it turned around to bite them, the Soviets were happy to foment the Islamic world as long as it meant trouble for the west. Granted, Marxism is an ostensibly atheistic philosophy, but in fact it's "god" is the state. Ultimately, Marxists and muslims will go at each other's throats, but not until they have achieved their collaborative, joint goal of destroying their arch-nemesis, the Judeo-Christian west.
I saw a comment to the wheel of fortune cartoon elsewhere....”Come on Barry, it’s your favorite vowel!”
Contrast this to the way he reacted to those three Muslims who were murdered recently. He made sure to mention they were Muslim. Showing his true colors he is.
I believe God Almighty is going to change this with a move of His Holy Spirit and not so much with the weaponry of man and machine.
Pray.
This Nero can’t even fiddle (but he sure knows how to light fires).
Can Obama explain why ISIS beheads its opponents?
They were just as “randomly selected” as the Jews in the Paris market...
He said that Osama Bin Laden didn’t follow real Islam and then he gave Osama a taxpayer funding muslim funeral at sea.
