Obama: Myanmar won’t succeed if Muslims are oppressed
Reuters ^ | Sun Apr 27, 2014 5:05am EDT | Matt Spetalnick

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday that the rights of Myanmar’s minority Muslim population were not being fully protected and warned that the Southeast Asian country would not succeed if Muslims there were oppressed.

On a visit to Malaysia, Obama praised political reforms under way in once-isolated Myanmar, but said the danger of democratization was that it could unleash religious and ethnic conflicts and that such developments could move Myanmar in a bad direction. …

Six months into this nightmare regime I couldn’t believe what the voters had done. His highness was on the T.V. and radio every day, making one pronouncement or another. Felt like he was screaming at me. I wanted to choke anyone close-by who voted for him.
Then look what came along with him. The most mean-faced person I’ve ever seen. I think many feel sorry for their daughters.

Anymore like BHO being groomed somewhere?? Sounds silly saying that. But he was being groomed - right??

We’ve got to have our eyes open constantly so that something similar isn’t foisted upon us EVer again.

Obama : “ warned that the Southeast Asian country would not succeed if Muslims there were oppressed. “

BS , Asian Muz breed like rabbits ( or rats) they quickly become the majority in every nation in asia if nothing is done to keep their numbers in check . Burma is a Buddhist nation . It is a Buddhist nation because the original Indian Buddhist had to flee muslim slaughter in India . They fled to Burma and points east and north . Beyond the moslem hoards . Of course the Buddhist countries do not want bulging muzlim populations now . They are wise ! Let the Rohingya migrate to the middle eastern muzlim countries , They need menial labor there .

That is no surprise, he is one of them. Also, two times, four years apart, the voters had a choice to make, and they chose a muslim. Each time.

Only 4% of Myanmar’s population are Muslims. That is low enough so they should seriously consider following in the footsteps of Angola, and outlawing Islam altogether.

Or in the steps of the Central African Republic, and driving them out of the country.

The source of the unrest is their southern neighbor, Muslim Malaysia, and its desire for a chunk of the offshore oil and gas fields. They've been fomenting Muslim unrest in southern Thailand for the same reason.

Have Obama ever condemned the daily massacre of Christians by Muslims all around Africa and the Middle East?

THE OBAMA GENOCIDE DENIAL

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On June 13, 2012 In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

Suppose that there was a country where Muslims were being massacred every month and mosques and imams were being targeted and destroyed. Could anyone imagine the Obama Administration choosing to remain silent in the face of such atrocities?

A mob attack on Muslims in Burma immediately resulted in a condemnation from the State Department and a call for its government to make more concessions to Muslims. But a car bombing and shooting attack on two churches in Nigeria have not been similarly commented on by the State Department, sending the message that Muslim life is precious, but Christian life is cheap. The Muslim dead of Burma are sacred, but the Christian dead of Nigeria are only more dead infidels.

Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist organization responsible for both attacks, has yet to be declared a terrorist organization by the State Department, despite having carried out religiously motivated bombings and shootings that have killed over a thousand people in the last few years alone. These numbers begin to approach the level of murders carried out by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The “Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act of 2012”, introduced by Senator Scott Brown, mandates that the State Department produce a detailed report that either designates Boko Haram as a terrorist group or justifies why it should not be listed as a terrorist group. A similar bill was introduced by Congressman Meehan in the House.

It is a testament to the obstructionism of the State Department and its whitewashing of Boko Haram that such a bill even had to be introduced. While the State Department has played delaying games, the bodies of murdered Christians have continued piling up.

It is also tragically noteworthy that all eleven sponsors of the “Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act”, in both the Senate and the House, have been Republicans. Not a single Democrat appeared to be willing to stand up for the human rights of Nigerian Christians. If the “Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act” comes down to a vote, that vote should be seen as nothing less than a test of complicity for individual Democrats in the cover-up of Nigeria’s Islamic genocide by the Obama Administration.

Genocide denial pervades not only the Obama Administration and its Congressional allies, but also the media, which continues to promote the destructive myth that Boko Haram is not truly religiously motivated and that it can only be stopped by giving more money and power to the Muslim north.

Had a non-Muslim group carried out numerous attacks on mosques and Muslim worshipers, and then ordered Muslims to leave an area, it is absolutely inconceivable that the Obama Administration and its media allies would deny that these were religiously motivated attacks. It is even more inconceivable that its preferred solution would be to tell the government to stop fighting terrorism. But what is inconceivable when it comes to Muslims is Obama Administration policy for Christians.

The rest of the history

Somebody needs to come right out & ask Mr. Obama why he doesn’t just go live with these people & leave us alone,since he sides with them anyway.

Obama knows it, the world looks at it and know, but as during the Holocaust, the Ukrainian Holodomor, the Mao genocide... nobody moves a thread for this human tragedy.
Syria: heartbreaking execution of Christians, who kneel and executed them with shots to the head.

VIDEO SHOCK March 20, 2014 Redazione 15

The daily genocide of Christians by Muslims around the world continues unabatedly. The pride and courage with which these men die makes them martyrs of the Faith. Speechless executed, although it is a term that is totally inadequate for what is a true genocide. This video shows to the World the dramatic and tragic fate of Syrian soldiers who guarded the hospital Kindi in Aleppo. An Islamic suicide bomber blew himself up in the hospital, then, some of the soldiers, identified as Christians, prisoners were taken by the so-called “free Syrian army” and fans of Al - Nusra went ahead, and were executed with a gun to the head.

This video was made public on March 15, 2014

Why Is The Media Silent About The Crucifixion Of Christians By Radical Jihadists?

http://endoftheamericandream.com ^ | May 1, 2014 | Michael Snyder

Could you imagine the uproar in the mainstream media that we would see if a member of a politically favored class of people was crucified for who or what they are? There would be front page headlines for weeks. But because members of a politically favored class (Muslims) are doing it to members of a non-politically favored class (Christians), it is not newsworthy at all according to the media. In many instances, Christians are being crucified by jihadists that are actually being assisted and funded by the governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia. Yes, our tax dollars are being used to help arm and supply radical jihadists that are beheading and crucifying Christians. And yet none of the big media organizations considers this to be news.

You assume he’d be different. There is no evidence to support that.
