US Christian Leaders Urge Obama Administration to Assist Mideast Christians
Catholic Culture ^ | 5/9/14

Posted on 05/09/2014 6:23:24 AM PDT by marshmallow

Over 175 Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant leaders, including Cardinal Donald Wuerl and Archbishop Charles Chaput, have signed a statement calling upon the Obama administration to do more to assist the persecuted Christians of Syria, Egypt, and Iraq.

“Scores of churches-- some while full of worshippers-- monasteries, cemeteries, and Bible centers have been deliberately demolished and crosses on others have been removed,” the signatories noted. “Young women have been abducted and forced to convert to Islam and marry their captors. In some instances, Christians have been told to convert to Islam or be killed; some have been forced to pay protection money.”

Christians in Syria, Egypt, and Iraq

And now Nigeria. Didn't the US just give some more weapons to the nicer terrorists in Syria? Isn't their speculation that the nutcases in Nigeria have weapons because of the devestation we caused in Libya?

Can't put anything over on these Christian leaders for very long, can they? (sarcasm)

Obama has NO reason to assist the Christians as he has previously stated that he will stand with the Muslims.I think he made that statement when he was in Egypt.

There is no sense in believing otherwise.His actions so far have proven his statement.

Prayers for all these people being persecuted. May God grant them the grace and fortitude they need in these times of trials.
