Full title: Rep. Franks to Obama: 'How Much Longer Will You Remain Appallingly Silent' on Islamic State Genocide of Christians?
(CNSNews.com) -- In a video address to President Barack Obama, House Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) reminded the president about the brutal persecution of Christians, Yazidis, and other religious groups by the Islamic State, questioned why Obama has been so "appallingly silent" on the issue, and added that Obama's refusal to name these groups as "genocide victims" would be "one of the most disgraceful chapters in your administration's shameful and abhorrent response to the Islamic State."
Rep. Trent Franks' Video
"Mr. President, it has now been more than a year since the Islamic State drove hundreds of thousands of Christians from the land of their spiritual heritage in Iraq and Syria," says Rep. Franks in the video, posted on his website. "This year, the joy of Christmas will not be celebrated in the churches and places of worship that Christians have cherished there for thousands of years."
"Instead, they will observe this sacred holiday under the constant threat of being hunted down and slaughtered by terrorists simply because they're Christians," said Franks. "You are and have been fully aware that Christians, along with Yazidis, and other religious communities have been subjected to extreme brutality and barbaric attacks that should justly be considered and condemned as genocide."
"And yet, Mr. President, I am dumbfounded by recent reports which suggest that your administration may exclude Christians and other religious communities from the designation of genocide victims at the hands of the Islamic State," said Franks, who serves on the Armed Service Committee and the Judiciary Committee.
"Sir, how much longer will you remain appallingly silent on the plight of persecuted Christians caught in this wake of unimaginable horror?" asks Franks.
"Your refusal to acknowledge and specifically name Christians, along with Yazidis and other religious communities in a designation of genocide would be one of the most disgraceful chapters in your administration's shameful and abhorrent response to the Islamic State," says the congressman.
"In the Name of God, humanity, and Christmas, Mr. President, please do not continue to stand by and let this evil relentlessly proceed," Franks concluded.
Trent Franks, 58, is married and has two children. He has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2003.

OBAMA'S RING: 'THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH'
He's worn band on wedding-ring finger since before he met Michell !
Obama Admits He Is A Muslim ( 9 :57)
Barack Obama in Islamic Prophecy ?
Satan's minion, the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, despises Israel, and want's his RADICAL ISLAMISTS to take it.
Obama is NOT Christian.
He's MUSLIM.
Didn't our Heavenly Father, through our Savior
tell us...
" thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother."
How well we deserve this curse (~so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things~) God has given us,
through the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, the FASCIST Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS a Muslim.
His actions prove it.
To believe Barack Hussein Obama II, when he claims to be a Christian, is to trust Satan.
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith.
MUSLIMS are allowed to LIE and deceive NON MUSLIMS, if it benefits or protects ISLAM. Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves."
Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.
Qur'an (40:28) - A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.
Qur'an (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts"
Qur'an (66:2) - "Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths"
Qur'an (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means deceit. If Allah is deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)
Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be "compelled" to deceive others for a greater purpose.
For a better understanding of the issue, read
HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

Just asking, don’t really care much. If the guy is a Democrat, then he’s an Obama supporter.

Because he is a Marxist and Islamist himself. I do not think he is muslim but he is most definitely pro muslim radicals. He despises the United States in the form it is and thinks of the Constitution as a document of no legal standing. He wants to bring our nation down and has been very successful up to now. His actions speak for themselves.
