Syrian Christians: 'Why Is America at War with Us'
CBN News ^ | 6/27/13

Syrian Christians are asking why the United States supports extremists who want to turn Syria into an Islamic state.

That testimony came during a congressional hearing on Syria's religious minorities Tuesday.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who chairs the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, called on President Barack Obama to defend the rights of Syrian Christians.

In an opening statement at Tuesday's hearing, Smith said statistics show "that Christians are even more fearful for their lives and safety than other segments of the Syrian population."

Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, testified that Islamic insurgents are targeting Christians for "ethno-religious cleansing."

Indeed, some American Christians are justifiably appalled.

America is not.America succumbed to self inflicted wounds November 6, 2012. The bastards that call themselves “Americans” that returned the imposter to the White House is at war with you. And is at war with real Americans.

I hope the Syrian Christians are aware that this sack of goatslime in the White House hates all Christians. He doesn’t represent me.

We’re ObamaNation now. The country is having love affair with homosexuality. What was once America has become a country full of Christian haters.

This is getting Biblical a whole lot faster than I expected.

I think zero actually is the Anti-Christ.

The day after his first election, the Illinois state lottery winning number was 6-6-6. No joke.

I always knew this sort of thing would happen, for some reason I thought it was waaaaaaay in the future not in my life time.

I do know that obama is AN anti-Christ, I do not think he is THE anti-Christ, but in fact the precursor.

I didn’t think it’d be in our lifetime, either.

But it is.

Who do you imagine could be worse? Even his home continent, Africa, is rejecting him.

Could it be Putin? He is starting to ‘flash’ nowadays.

Uh, it’s McCain and Lindsey Graham who want us to arm the Syrian rebels. They’re mad at Obama for not giving the rebels enough aid.

I don’t like Obama, but it’s McCain and Lindsey Graham who are really pushing for arming the Syrian rebels.

McCain and Lindsey Graham are mad that Obama isn’t giving more aide to the Syrian rebels. Why don’t you include them — and the other Republicans who favor arms for rebels — in your condemnation?

Why don’t you say anything about McCain, Lindsey Graham, and other Republicans who are banging the drums for war in Syria (in favor of the rebels)?
