Obama Administration Scrubs Persecution of Christians From Human Rights Report
Bbible Prophecy Blog ^ | 6/8/2012 | Robert Spencer

Don't want to promote "Islamophobia," doncha know. Nothing does that like reports of Muslims committing atrocities against Christians and other non-Muslims in the name of Islam—and of course challenging Muslim entities over this persecution is out of the question as far as this Administration is concerned.

"State Department Purges Section on Religious Freedom from Its Human Rights Reports," by Pete Winn for CNS News, June 7: Stop murdering christians in Egypt

The U.S. State Department removed the sections covering religious freedom from the Country Reports on Human Rights that it released on May 24, three months past the statutory deadline Congress set for the release of these reports.

The new human rights reports—purged of the sections that discuss the status of religious freedom in each of the countries covered—are also the human rights reports that cover the period that covered the Arab Spring and its aftermath.

Thus, the reports do not provide in-depth coverage of what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East that saw the rise of revolutionary movements in 2011 in which Islamist forces played an instrumental role.

For the first time ever, the State Department simply eliminated the section of religious freedom

Almost nothing’s too cynical to wonder about the Obama administration. Yes, it’s a world tradition to give attacks upon Christians short shrift. That’s nothing new. But the US, till now, did not let these reports fall off the map. Barack only wants to keep from embarrassing his Muslim pals.

May I suggest the State Department just put a statement in where the eliminated section was:

First the "Saturday People," then the "Sunday People" policy of the Muslim world continues. There is nothing new to report.

Time is running out for Obama’s vermin. From the State Department to the corruption at Holder’s Justice, there will be a scrubbing down and cleaning out. All the commie, Islamist filth Barry brought with him to fulfill the fantasies of his drug addled, self obsessed, American hating mind will be out on the street, little ACORNs making a nuisance of themselves in the Occupy bowel movement.

It is shameful that some Americans might be surprised by this.

Pay attention. Obama is a Muslim.

This is a gigantic issue and the public needs to be more aware of it.

To the best of my knowledge, the only politician in a major power who has ever made any sort of a vow to protect Christians against persecution in the past 50 years is Vladimir Putin.

They do the same with black on white hate crimes here in the USA.

A stupid persons view of fixing a problem is to pretend it doesn't exist.

This is a reminder for the forgetful Christians and non-Christians what Islam is all about.

If you decide to open the video, prepare yourself to witness demonic islam in action.

It is long past time when Republicans and conservatives should have set up their own “Human Rights Watch”, but one that actually records and protests such villainy, instead of just slamming the US and sucking up to tyrants and the UN, pardon the redundancy.

By just telling the truth, it would not only have tremendous credibility, but dissidents around the world would be more than happy to volunteer information about their nation’s oppressors.

The graphic nature of such abuses as are perpetrated by fiends like the North Korean government and in Islamic nations would be horrifying to say the least.

However, at the same time, lots of tables would be turned, because as an organization, it would *not* be opposed to a death penalty for heinous and murderous crimes; *but* it would also see efforts to keep guns out of the hands of the honest citizenry as itself being a human rights abuse.

All sorts of other things that are embraced by the socialist left in the name of “human rights” can be accurately portrayed as “anti-human rights”, such as radical environmentalism like ‘Agenda 21’, efforts to control and censor the Internet, ridiculous copyright and patent laws, exploitative trade agreements, and internationalism itself.

Open borders advantage economic migration on one side, but disadvantage the citizenry of the host nation on the other, so the “human right” to be secure in one’s nation is at risk. Likewise the importation of hostile aliens to advantage the socialist left by diluting a nation’s culture and ethnic homogeneity are likewise a “human rights” abuse.

The list goes on and on. It could even be said that irresponsible economics by a government is a form of human rights abuse against future generations.

We have individual right, not ‘human rights’ in this country. The state department has no business writing a ‘report’ like this anyway.

It’s a UN thing.

>>exploitative trade agreements, and internationalism itself.<<

When the Bush Administration was pushing free trade agreements most FReepers were solidly in line behind him. Now that the majority of manufacturing jobs have moved to a foreign country with the expected result, higher unemployment numbers are here to stay.

While George and Laura kept farting around with closing our borders, the illegal aliens swarmed our public assistance programs. The Democrats enjoyed our new internationalism so much they elected BHO as their Voice of America. His new socialist ideas are accepted amongst a large portion of the voters who have no problem turning away from God because it doesn’t interfere with their monthly checks.

What is it that people are expecting from Romney?

Yeah, I read that. Sickening isn’t it? The sooner this Administration is out of a job, the better. They’ve stolen plenty to live on when they go.
