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.
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.
