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.

Marie Harf is a dog feces on the face of America. She belongs in High School musical.

That’s right, shove that up your smelly obama!

Appears the only requirements to get a job as a “spokesperson” with the Obama Administration is the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time, sh!t for brains and a pair of *crappy non-prescription eyeglasses*.

*(I suspect that is because every liberal, celebrity, journalist, TV personality, game-show host, beard-scratching college professor, hipster, homosexual, lesbian, fashion designer, artist, musician, actor, director, producer, self-deluded moron, prospective political candidate, or elitist jack-wagon suffers from the idiotic delusion that wearing glasses makes even the village idiot look so much more intelligent than he/she/it actually is. JMHO.)

Harf is no accident, nor are her comments. Biden is another one. These are people hand-picked by Barry for the sole purpose of discrediting, embarrassing and DESTROYING America’s reputation and fomenting a permanent DISTRUST by the people in all levels of our TRADITIONAL government.

That’s because he is NOT a Christian. Rather, it is because he is a closet-Muslim (along with a closet-homosexual and drug-addict).

Its a shame she can’t stop saying stupid things.

The best advice, is when she is digging herself a hole, stop digging. That idiot keeps digging the hole deeper. She sounds more stupid everytime she runs her fat mouth. If anyone had a doubt that she is a moron, she opens her mouth, and removes all doubt.

Nice. So it gives her an e cuss to let Islamic WWIII start in earnest.

She must mean Aunt Millie’s tantrum at the church bake sale last fall. I’m so sorry about that. She got frosting on just about everyone and the sales were right out the door. She really feels very bad about it and it won’t happen again.

This is another feeble attempt by a Obama lover at moral equivalence. There is no moral equivalency with these Islamic savages. They are repeating the barbaric plunder of their god’s “Prophet” almost 1400 years ago with the beheadings, the promise of battle, booty, women, and slaves.

Perhaps we need to look at George Washington’s Vision he had at Valley Forge in the light of what’s currently happening.
It fit’s the prophecy.

Earlier this week, I wrote about the Kony 2012 video and that while it espouses the noble goal of removing Joseph Kony from the Uganda region, there is also a uniquely surreal aspect to it. The man known as the Machine Gun Preacher, Sam Childers knows more about the region than anyone. He has been on the ground there for fourteen years. He builds orphanages for children and protects them with actual weaponry. In short, he’s not your typical missionary.

Childers has issued a response to Invisible Children’s Kony 2012 video and while he congratulates the charitable organization for drawing attention to Joseph Kony, he stresses that Kony is just a “small part” of the problem. The larger part? Northern Sudan’s president Hassan al-Bashir, who according to Childers, has been the source of Kony’s funding for years. Any guesses as to what group Bashir belongs to?

The Muslim Brotherhood.

Another war on Christianity... she is obviously collaborating or not stopping islam from starting wars. What is the State Department’s agenda other than encouraging warmongers to start?

Rogue agency. I mean, they’re out there trying to start some sort of a stupid atom-bomb war with Russia in the Ukraine and telling us we need to worry about Christians?????

"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....

Not exactly.... the LRA practices mysticism and was supported by the government of Sudan which was run by by NIF... NIF was the political movement or party of Dr. Hassan al-Tourabi/Turabi, and Turabi was the guy who organized the meetings held in Sudan between al-Qaeda's Osama bin Laden and the Iraqi and Iranian intelligence services. Turabi was also connected to the Florida jihadi cell of Sami al Arian and friends- he was actually invited by some FL muslims to give a lecture in this state.

Kony is a nasty individual and the group is not Christian but rather a blend of mysticism, millennialism, Christianity and Islam.
