Arabo, who is a prominent Chaldean-American businessman and met with other leaders of his community in the White House last week, has called upon American political leaders to grant asylum to about 300,000 Christians fleeing the ISIS invasion.
"The world hasn't seen this kind of atrocity in generations," he told CNN. He's mostly correct. Although genocides have happened repeatedly throughout history, including famous genocides in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, as well as Cambodia, the genocide perpetrated against Christians and other minorities is extreme, partly because it is being gleefully publicized.
The terrorists who have invaded Mosul and other ancient Christian communities in Syria and Iraq have made music videos of themselves murdering civilians and captured soldiers. They are literally enjoying the act of killing and the fear and suffering experienced by others. This sadism may be the purest manifestation of evil witnessed since the Rape of Nanking

I see.
Yes. Often I think people are not vigilant because they don’t see a photo or an image of something.
It is true in many cases, maybe most, given the current culture. but I live in the world. I have people in my immediate surroundings to take care of and issues to manage. I cannot see a disturbing photo, movie nor read a disturbing book that is unnecessary to my job at hand.
Vigilance in taking care of the country is awfully frustrating when so many people that I know personally vote to promote their own financial benefit, as if the country is a corporation.
But people who get it, and do what they can, don’t need to see these photos.
It’s just protection from being disturbed, not to live in denial.
I have dealt with many amputations, traumatic and surgical, have buried many family members. I can imagine quite well
And if people could discern hatred in real life from people they trust, it would help quite a bit
Has Jimmah Carter started defending ISIS yet?
Will Patty Murray weigh in and point out that ISIS is building hospitals and schools.
It’s difficult for many people to understand how they can be this way because they have no understanding of how these people are raised and indoctrinated into these sects.
For many who join these terrorist groups it’s like Americans who grow up wanting to join CIA or Special Forces. Only they view it ‘all’ through the eyes of Islamic teachings.
Agreed.
What do you expect when Popes go around kissing the Koran and its leaders?
That’s Ok, His Majesty is bombing ISIS to protect a minority sect of Iz Lame so it’s all taken care of.
Has Jimmy Carter come out in support of ISIS yet?
They heard how ISIS went medieval on those who surrender, they did not even want to risk the chance of being captured.
It is said that the enemies of Vlad, turned around and went home when they saw the bodies of their comrades bodies impaled on spikes. Same story different century.
What are you talking about?
Wrong. Entirely wrong.
They have a Kurdish representative on the show.
Bret asked if the Kurds have requested arms from the US, and have you received any?
The reply was, we have asked and have not recieved arms.
Bret asked, "Do you want boots on the ground??
He replied there are boots on the ground, Kurdish boots. It is our fight, give us the arms and we will deal with ISIS>
We've lost much of that in our country because evil itself is being promoted as “normal” and “acceptable”, where there was a time it would be ‘seen’ for exactly what it is.
We are being conditioned to “think” with the popular moment rather than discern if it's good, bad or ugly in “appearances”. Hollywood cannot keep it's clothes on so we're adjusted now to seeing nudity everywhere. Horror movies show blood and guts to the extent that these world events are seen more as "show" than the realities they are.
The fact everyone gets their cellphones out "first" in any event or happening rather than jump into action to save or help someone escape is revealing of how far society has slumped into the deep.
We do the same thing to children in this country via abortion.
...”He replied there are boots on the ground, Kurdish boots. It is our fight, give us the arms and we will deal with ISIS”....
I understand Kurds have asked for arms for years now...ISIS is not new to them and they’ve been fighting them for some time now.
As is the nature of this administration...they do nothing preventive, rather wait until any meager attempt is simply playing into their politics rather than making a real difference when they could have in the first place.
Those that cut and ran were not Kurds.
I'll bite, show us the pictures.
” has called upon American political leaders to grant asylum to about 300,000 Christians fleeing the ISIS invasion”
Last thing barry wants is a bunch of Christians in the country.
France is taking them in though. Don’t know how they’ll get there
