It's called irony. We treated Satan worshipers better than we treated our own diplomats.

There is one, exactly one, case where obama isn’t backing the most muslim side.

It’s protecting the Yazidis.

Who are the Yazidis?

The Yazidis are an ancient religion, one whose people revere Melek Taus, who is also known as the Peacock Angel, or Shaytan, or in English: Satan.

IOW, obama consistently supports any muslim over any Christian, the most radical muslims over more moderate muslims, and Satan worshipers over the most radical of muslims.

Any further questions?

It looks like Muslims accuse Yazidis of Satan worship- I don't think I'd want to put much stock in what Muslims have to say about other religions:

"Since the late 16th century,[3] Muslims have accused Yazidis of devil worship due to the similarity between the Quranic story of Shaitan and the account of Tawûsê Melek's refusal to bow to Adam. Whereas Muslims revile Shaitan for refusing to submit to God and bow to Adam, believing that his defiance caused him to fall from God's grace,[4] Yazidis revere Tawûsê Melek for his independence. Accusations of devil worship fueled centuries of violent persecution, which have led Yazidi communities to concentrate in remote mountainous regions of northwestern Iraq.[3] The Yazidi taboo against the Arabic word Shaitan (الشیطان) and on words containing the consonants š (sh) and t/ṭ have been used to suggest a connection between this Tawûsê Melek and Shaitan,[2] although no evidence exists to suggest Yazidis worship Tawûsê Melek as the same figure.[5]"

So it’s okay he let these people be killed because they are of a purported abhorrent religion.

Okay.

Please show links documenting the atrocities the Yazidis are known for committing - versus what the ISIL (whom o bummer is protecting by inaction) are committing?

I’m speechless... never heard of this one before null - thanks for sharing.

“...some Yezidi do claim that Melek Taus is “the Devil”. One hereditary leader of the Yezidi, Mir Hazem, said in 2005: “I cannot say this word [Devil] out loud because it is sacred. It’s the chief of angels. We believe in the chief of angels.”

There are further indications that Melek Taus is “the Devil”. The parallels between the story of the peacock angel’s rebellion, and the story of Lucifer, cast into Hell by the Christian God, are surely too close to be coincidence. The very word “Melek” is cognate with “Moloch”, the name of a Biblical demon - who demanded human sacrifice.”
