Patriarch Sako, president of the Assembly of the Catholic Bishops in Iraq, said in a statement today, "Death and sickness are grabbing the children and elderly people among the thousands of refugee families spread over the Kurdistan Region who lost everything in the recent tragic developments while the ISIS Militants are still advancing and the humanitarian aid is insufficient."

Where is the outrage from the Muslim communities around the globe?!

Catholic ping!

Obama would have been perfectly happy for the CHristians to be erased from Iraq.

Unfortunately for his “World must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” action plan — the Yazidis trapped on Mount Sindar came to the attention of the world.

Yazidis aren’t Christian.

Orthodox Ping!

Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!

if you had just seen several hundred women abducted and forced to endure God-only-knows-what because the president couldn’t get his head out of his a$$, you would be sort of annoyed, too.

I know that.

My point is — Obama would not have done anything to save anyone from ISIS if it had not been for their plight.

And saving Christians still seems to be far down his list of priorities.

The only thing that will probably work is a tree state solution which should have been done before. The problem is the location of the “assets”...i.e., oil.

It’s more what Obama didn’t say. He voiced support for the Yezidis and ignored the Christians. Plus, Obama said he doesn’t plan on being an Air Force for the Kurds.

True, Obummer doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about the plight of the Christians in Iraq and is rather perturbed that he had to take time off from his time off to give the pitiful response he has.

If you listened to his speech the other night, he mentioned the word "christian", only once. His focus was on the Yazidis and their struggle. These ancient people follow a religion that is a cross between Zoroastrianism and Islam. The Muslims refer to them as "devil worshippers". It is because of the Yazidis, it seems, that O agreed to do limited strikes and drop some food.

Christian persecution rarely makes the news. This event is no exception. The US went back into Iraq, to help the Yazidis.

The adults all look so worried, and that little innocent one is smiling.

Reading all the garbage on this “secret” religion, what I come up with is that they’re really a bunch of Turkish Muzzies who made up their own religion at some point.

Because any off handed gesture on obola’s part has nothing to do with saving any Christians and they know it.

In this instance, I don’t care what religion they want to call themselves. That matters not at all to me. What matters is that these are fellow human beings who are innocent victims of well funded fanatics who consider bloody cruelty a mandatory form of worship.
