Globally, religious persecution is Christian persecution

CAIRO – If there were a Nobel Prize for enduring misery, Nabil Soliman would be an awfully compelling candidate.

Two years ago, the 54-year-old Egyptian Christian was a security guard in his small Upper Egyptian village of Nazlet El Badraman, where his family had lived for generations. Though hardly rich, he and his wife Sabah, along with their six children and five grandchildren, were comfortable and proud of Nabil for being the lone Christian in town to hold such a position of trust.

Then, the sky fell in.

In November 2013, Islamic radicals in his village went on a violent rampage, angry over the removal of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi as the country’s president. Christians, who represent roughly 10 percent of Egypt’s population, made convenient targets.

Soliman’s was among the first homes to be torched. Rather than restraining the mob, town police instead arrested Soliman, and, as they hauled him away to the station house, invited bystanders to beat him.

The “Christian” in our White House is only worried about the potential impending anti-Muslim backlash and potential anti-Muslim discrimination. He’s totally indifferent to actual anti-Christian discrimination, which is no surprise since he is the leading instigator of anti-Christian discrimination - which is central policy of his HHS department and his State Department - and under his Iranian deal the leading provider of funds for anti-Christian violence and terrorism worldwide.

Liberals wonder why so few non-liberals can “correctly” identify Obama’s religion as Christian. NYT and WaPo have repeatedly told us that Obama is a Christian, but it’s hard for that propaganda to work when we see Obama’s daily actions and his daily expressions of hatred toward real Christians.
