State Dept. Spokeswoman: 'Christian Militant Group' Among 'Extremist Threats We Face'
CNS News ^ | Feb 18 2015 | Susan Jones

Posted on 02/18/2015 8:02:17 PM PST by Whenifhow

People talk a lot about Islamic extremism and ISIS/ISIL (the guys who behead Christians, among others), but what about Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army?

"I don't remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that's a Christian militant group," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday.

She was making the point that terrorism "is not just a threat in one place" -- and it's not just Islamic:

"If you look at the Lord's Resistance Army and Kony, Joseph Kony -- I don't remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that's a Christian militant group. So there are a lot of different extremists threats we face, and there are different tools we have to go after each one of them."

According to an Associated Press report last November, "Kony's LRA comprises a few hundred fighters who are being hunted down by African Union troops as well as U.S. advisers." Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in a "reign of terror" that has spanned more than two decades in Central Africa.

She wouldn’t know a terrorist if she were kneeling in front of one with a blade pressed against her neck...

The hippy-dippy next door has a KONY bumpersticker still. It was a lefty fad for a while.

What was The Lord’s Resistance Army resisting?

...It has been revealed that indeed Invisible Children has been working with USAID, a US government agency that helps lay the groundwork for what could best be described as a modern-day imperial administrative network. It is now also revealed that Invisible Children attended the 2010 US State Department and Fortune 500 sponsored Alliance for Youth Movements (AYM) summit in London. AYM (also called Movements.org) it was reported, played a central role in preparing armies of US State Department funded, trained, and equipped activists to carry out the so-called “Arab Spring” years in advance. Much like KONY 2012, the Arab Spring...

They are intentionally pitting Muslims against Christians and Jews. fueling the fire for a religious war. There can be no other purpose. This stupid jihadist, Marie Harf, doesn’t make these statements on her own, she is a tool.

Relevance apparently.

I watched an interview with locals on the BBC a while back. He used to be a real problem 20 years ago or so but aside from old grudges it looked like most people just shrug about him.

I was in my 20s during the Carter era and he was a wonderful president, during wonderful times, compared to the current administration.

Funny Marie I think you have a serious mental problem. Why? Because of truth and reality which I live in rather than delusion.

For instance, I haven't seen ANY Christians...

gathered in any large bodies, marching or at any training camps wearing unfiorms that cover their bodies and cloak their faces carrying any assault rifles or machine guns killing people and yelling Allah Akbar beheading infidels because they won't submit to their religion cutting off infidels heads and lining them up in the streets or placing them on fenceposts as trophies Raping women, forcing gays to jump off of buidlings to their deaths, enslaving people, or forcing people to pay a tax called jizya if they don't become a member of their religion Having sex with underrage females Hanging children on buildings or locking them in a building to keep their enemies from firing on the building defacing and destroying historical sites of religious significance

But I have seen and am aware of MUSLIM TERRORISTS doing ALL of the above to CHRISTIANS!!

I just thought it was Obama trying to get every single solitary Democrat kicked out of office so he could remake the party.

Using this African cult to drag Christianity down to the level of Islam is obscene even by Obama’s leftist standards. This cult has nothing to do with Christianity. It claims to govern by the ten commandments, mixed with a lot of African mysticism. Islamic terrorists, by comparison, are governed by the teachings of Islam, and they number in the millions, activists and supporters, not a gang of four hundred.

This is as bad a perversion of truth as DHS calling veterans, Tea Party members, NRA members and lawful militias terrorists. I’ll be glad when this trash in Washington is thrown into the garbage heap of history.

Moslems, in the name of Islam and IN ACCORD WITH THE KORAN, will hack your head off and throw it in our face, they will put you in a cage and burn you alive.

OBAMA, BIDEN, ET AL: name the Christians, the Jews, the Buddhists, etc who commit these depraved acts. NAME THEM! GIVE US THE NAMES AND DATES.

Excusing evil IS evil.

No doubt....The state departments words are all meant to ease minds in order to roll out the welcome mat for their new syrian refuges.

Obama deflects blame for these depraved acts, he tells us to “get off our high horse”.

He may as well have put the man in the cage himself.

Excuses are complicity.

Marie Harf makes me barf.

She deserves the Brian Williams treatment in social media.

Obama, Hillary Clinton, McCain, and others, have enabled arming the Moslem Brotherhood and have had the US and allies serve as their air force. Now he brings the MB here.

All this from a person who refuses to identify himself or disclose his background.

Have the judges, the administrators, the politicians figured it out yet? Or will they continue to cite movies about Santa Clause?

Morons and traitors.
