(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. House of Representatives voted 393 to 0 tonight in favor of a resolution declaring that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is committing “genocide” against Christians, Yezidis and other religious minorities in the Middle East.
The vote on the resolution, which was sponsored by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R.-Neb.) and co-sponsored 203 other members, brought together as broad a coalition as possible in the House. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (the chairman of the Democratic National Committee) joined with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R.-Texas) in voting for it.
In total, there were 229 Republican votes for it and 164 Democratic votes for it.
The House resolution declared that "the atrocities perpetrated by ISIL against Christians, Yezidis, and other religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq and Syria constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide."

Yeah and now what
Captain Obvious brilliance, right there.
We don’t say Isil. We say ISIS. When does the House stop spending on obama care or impeach that bastard obama? I am sick of resolutions declaring that the sky is “Blue”!! What are these maggots doing for the money WE give them?
OK, but what about ISIS ?
Now, if only they would openly admit the driving force of ISIS is Islam - FGS, IT’s part of the name.
Take the next step - accuse Islam pf being the problem.
“We don’t say Isil. We say ISIS. When does the House stop spending on obama care or impeach that bastard obama? I am sick of resolutions declaring that the sky is “Blue”!! What are these maggots doing for the money WE give them?
Worth a repeat and a new anthem everyone should be
screaming.
and the gutless Senate should do like wilewise, but they won’t.
Doesn't matter what WE say. The bill says ISIL and that is who they meant.
Let's try matching theory to practice: Ryan represents the passions of the people, and McConnell represents the prudence of the people? Or, if you like the "Minority Report", we could substitute Reid for McConnell.
Nice, in theory.
Now if true, it would be nice to see a whole bunch of other Islamic Americans denounce what they also should have months ago.
...as they at the same time authorize Obama to resume the money/arms/training for the so-called “rebels”. Everyone knows that’s a direct pipeline into ISIS.
Looks like the tides are turning against Islam so 0bama will side with Islam. He promised.
IF the SENATE had REMOVED the odorous Bill Clinton all
those years ago; we would likely not be saddled with
Hillarious Clinton hung about our necks at this late date.
Billious STILL owes Hillarious BIG TIME! He owes her the
PRESIDENCY! Which I pray the Lord denies her. Those two have
screwed over us way too long.
Why does the Republicrat House use the Obama term? That is so typical. Go Trump!!
Next, a stern letter to The Times!
That’s a tough one to project.
I assume Algore would have then won the 2000 election as the incumbent.
We might have had Hillary winning in 2008 then and Baraq Obama as the likely winner this Nov.
Wonder if obama will veto....
If they repealed the 17th or at the minimal, limit campaign contributions to instate entities, then it could come a bit closer to theory than what it is.
The ones that did not vote should go to Syria to reason with the terrorists face to face, or would that be neck to sword.
Seems like quite a few sat out the vote.
