Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Israel and Egypt in December, relaying a message of U.S. concern over persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
“One of the messages that I will bring on the president’s behalf to leaders across the region is that now is the time to bring an end to the persecution of Christians and all religious minorities,” he declared in a Wednesday night speech. The vice president also announced that the U.S. would halt its funding to United Nations’ efforts to aid persecuted peoples, instead vowing to funnel all future efforts through direct foreign aid.

Better, Faster, Cheaper, More Fair and build foreign allies at the time.
The problem is that in order to end Christian persecution, we need to speak out against Islam.
I don’t see that happening, with any kind of moral clarity and conviction.
The only way to end persecution of Christians in the middle east is to end Islam.
Prayers for his safety.
Yes. Indeed. He and his wife are great people.
It did happen in Egypt at the very top. One of the first things that el Sisi (now President Sisi) did after they removed Morsi was declare to end Christian persecution. And he enforced it rigidly. There have been terrorist attack since then, but President Sisi is solid in this.
He participate in a Christian Church service near Christmas. It was publicized. Sisi requested the Muslim leadership about how to “reform” the Muslim faith to eliminate terrorism. I’ve not seen the outcome of that request.
Direct relations with the leader of the nation is the best way to approach this.
Iraq and Syria will be a tougher problem. Iraq central government is tied to Iran, we have no relations with Assad in Syria.
In Iraq the Kurds sheltered Christians in the period of Saddam’s overthrow. In Syria the Kurds protected the Syriac Christians and they fought side by side to oust ISIS. Syrian Kurds are totally secular about religion.
Much of this is not widely publicized. It did happen.
I think you’re right on that.
Good point.
meanwhile the Pope is jet-setting around talking about climate change...
Thank you Pence. Due to the MSM, most people are not even aware that the level of persecution is on biblical levels, or levels not since, maybe ever.
Benedict XVI is the real Pope, not that cardboard cut-out.
“climate change”?
Socialist scam, method for global income redistribution.
The Jesuit Pope is certainly a leftist.
The Truth is totally absent in the MSM.
The Truth destroys these liars, so they will never admit the Truth.
Just the whole opposition to travel ban 2 wreaked of Christian hate from the Democrats. Trump wanted to make an exception for the true refugees, and they wouldn’t have it.
How about spending a little time here in America and ending Christian persecutions here??
Yes, we do that every day. Much effort here on FR.

Mobile typo.
Yes.
