Syrian Christians: 'Why Is America at War with Us'
CBN News ^ | 6/27/13

Posted on 07/01/2013 6:48:42 PM PDT by marshmallow

Syrian Christians are asking why the United States supports extremists who want to turn Syria into an Islamic state.

That testimony came during a congressional hearing on Syria's religious minorities Tuesday.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who chairs the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, called on President Barack Obama to defend the rights of Syrian Christians.

In an opening statement at Tuesday's hearing, Smith said statistics show "that Christians are even more fearful for their lives and safety than other segments of the Syrian population."

Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, testified that Islamic insurgents are targeting Christians for "ethno-religious cleansing."

this sack of goatslime in the White House hates all Christians.

What about John McCain and Lindsey Graham? They’re more pro-Syrian rebel than Obama is./

John and Lindsey are effectively members of the admin. Did you see these rodeo clowns during the SOTU? They were wetting their pants with excitement while Obama promised amnesty.
McLame’s real motivation is he loves going to war, even if it is in aid of the enemy.

I do not know and I think we are not meant to know, just be on the look out.
There will be many anti-Christs......
but only ONE ANTI-Christ.
The real issue is be vigilant, always looking always warning.......never ever backing down.
If it turns out this will happen in our lifetime we MUST be ready to fight, not as the world fights it WILL be a spiritual battle.

No, on Syria, Obama is better than them. He’s obviously reluctant to get involved, and McCain and Graham are angry about that.

Because Obama is the president and he is setting the pro-jihadi agenda.

They’re jerks for going along with him, but that’s a whole different matter.

It’s 0bama’s Muslim Faith.

No, it’s pressure on Obama from McCain, Graham and other hawkish Republicans.

They’re not “going along with him,” they’re criticizing him for not sending heavy aide to the rebels. Obama is actually more sane on Syria than these two GOP senators.

Other than Rand Paul, what Republican Senator is speaking out against aide to Syrian rebels? Please give me his or her name, so I can write and congratulate him.

I can give you a lot of names of republicans who are blasting Obama for not sending the rebels “enough” weapons and heavy firepower.

I always knew this sort of thing would happen, for some reason I thought it was waaaaaaay in the future not in my life time.

I do know that obama is AN anti-Christ, I do not think he is THE anti-Christ, but in fact the precursor.

I've said this before, when he was first elected, and I'll say it again, now, for I have seen no evidence at all to make me revise my initial assessment. He is the understudy stand in, placed in the 'dress rehearsal' version of 'the role' for the real deal. His primary purpose was to ensure that the machinery worked, that machinery which would propel an obscure nobody into the very summit of power, almost overnight, and without any serious attempt at vetting the 'vaulted one'. In short, while the *real* Antichrist is still waiting in the wings, this guy isn't him.

With all that said, remember when I said 'dress rehearsal'? Those here with some knowledge of the theater, and theater production will understand what I mean. Dress rehearsal is the final rehearsal of the entire show, before the curtain comes up on opening night, and the play goes public. When is it traditionally done? The afternoon of opening night, thus, if I am reasonably correct in my assessments, the 'real deal' is very close to arriving, and the curtain will be going up quite shortly on 666 Productions Company's premiere presentation of "The Antichrist"...

Another great question is why do McCain and Graham want Syrian Christians killed.?

The Federal is waging war against all Christians. It has been for a while, but has stepped things up under our first Muslim President.

Is ‘fn’ a word to be banned now?

Yeah, I always pictured THE anti-Christ as being at least average intelligence.

Obama is sending these people weapons.

Linda and McLame desire an unrealistic ‘boots on the ground’ scenario which is beyond pie in the sky.

A pox on both houses.
