ISIS Genocide Victims Do Not Include Christians, the State Department Is Poised to Rule
National Review ^ | November 13, 2015 | Nina Shea

Posted on 11/16/2015 7:22:32 PM PST by detective

A report by a renowned journalist states that Christians are to be excluded from an impending official United States government declaration of ISIS genocide. If true, it would reflect a familiar pattern within the administration of a politically correct bias that views Christians - even non-Western congregations such as those in Iraq and Syria - never as victims but always as Inquisition-style oppressors. (That a State Department genocide designation for ISIS may be imminent was acknowledged last week in congressional testimony, by Ambassador Anne Patterson, the assistant secretary of the State Department’s Near East Bureau.)

This is a religious rule between a cult that started 600 years after the resurrection and those that accept that Jesus is Lord. It will be our Crusade to destroy these infidels.

The Bush Administration supported the Christian southern Sudan against the Muslim central Sudan government in the Sudanese civil war.

America will suffer greatly for this. And they need to be protecting the few Jewish people left in Syria and Iraq.

The Reagan administration defended Christians in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union from Communist persecution.

Educate me. I was overseas stationed in Europe during most of the 80s and I don't remember hearing about any such thing.

But my sources of information were pretty thin then.

So what, exactly, did he do, other than to encourage the fall of the Soviet bloc. (If you'd like to call the fall of the Soviet bloc defending Christians, I can buy that. But your post alludes to something additional to that)

Are you talking about the support for the Polish "Solidarity" movement?

Are you talking about the negotiated separation as a result of the Darfur agreements or something else?

Baraq Hussein is a Moslem

His attitudes are the attitudes of a Moslem.

He is doing what a Moslem must do who finds himself the leader of the biggest strongest infidel nation.

He has 15 months to get it done.

Reagan worked with Solidarity, Pope John Paul, Havel and many others to promote religious freedom. Reagan also convinced Gorbachev to allow religious freedom. From a review of “Reagan: the Life”:

“Not long after the handshake at the start of the Moscow summit, Reagan raised what he called a sensitive topic. It was so sensitive, he said, that if word he had mentioned it leaked to the press, he would deny it. It had to do with religious freedom.

Saying he was speaking as a friend, he asked Gorbachev, “What if you ruled that religious freedom was part of the people’s rights, that people of any religion — whether Islam with its mosque, the Jewish faith, Protestants or the Ukrainian church — could go to the church of their choice?”

Religious freedom, besides being valuable on its merits, would make agreements with the United States much easier.

If Gorbachev would guarantee religious tolerance, Reagan said, attitudes in America toward the Soviet Union would change dramatically. “You will be a hero, and much of the feeling against your country will disappear like water in hot sun.”

Reagan reiterated that he himself would never try to take credit for pushing Gorbachev to make the change. “If anyone in the room would say I had given such advice, I would say that person was lying.””

“Poised to rule?” Is that the same as having an axe raised over our heads?

Most of our national leaders (executive, legislative, and judicial) deserve to have their body parts removed without anesthesia and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Add to the list their enablers in the enemedia and schrool systems.

It will be a day of celebration when these wicked tyrants die horrible, painful deaths and are made a public example of for future would-be tyrants to take note.

Yes it is.

The reason they believe this stuff is that they do not know history, and the very little they do know is upside down. Probably all went to public schools at some point.

This is spiritual warfare taking place right in front of us, and we have the blood of saints on our hands in this battle because we elected that evil creature to rule over us and not just once but twice, even after we knew what it was,

It should be obvious to all by now that obama is a Sunni and is working to empower that satanic spirit over Christianity in this country,

I remember the Russian government was very unhappy with the Clinton Administration for all the bombing of Serbia. The Russians are Orthodox and so are the Serbians; fellow Orthodox Christians.

Remember how we were told that the Serbians were persecuting the Muslims in Kosovo? I think the premise was skewed a bit. it was difficult to really get the right perspective on this.
