You rarely see these types of things in the news...they are too busy covering racist, tea-party types shooting theaters...or racist Donald Trump impugning all Hispanics...or too busy covering a stupid television program.
In the 1930s, people ignored the pogrom against the Jews. There was no Internet at that time, so people had to depend upon what the government told them and what the Mainstream News told them.
By posting these articles on FR (where they'll actually get more readership than from their original source), I hope that more people won't be able to say, "I had no idea" when this is all said and done.
What can be done? If you go to church, do you ask your pastor to discuss this every now and again? I don't know about Protestant groups, but with Catholics, we have a "prayer of the faithful" each week...do we, as Catholics, ask our pastors to include a prayer for the Christian martyrs of Syria and Iraq each week?
If you have representation in Congress, are you writing letters? If you never hear about it, chances are you won't think to write your representatives to demand action. Sure, it likely won't do any good, but you can't tell...enough volume can make them think.
We have a Presidential campaign going on. If candidates swing through your area, are you asking them what they intend to do about this?
How about refugee status for Iraqi and Syrian Christians? Øbama has no problem granting refugee status to Muzzies...how about demanding that he cut infiltrating Jihadis off and allow true refugees to come in?
There is plenty that CAN be done. But people have to keep being made aware the fact that there are good people who are being tortured and slaughtered merely for the fact that they are Christian before they're willing to do ANYTHING about it.
Might be Pollyanish on my part, but I would hope that some kind of action would come out of this.
The reason ISIS exist is because it is Sunni and the Saudis are Sunni. The only thing keeping the Saudi alive is ISIS. IRAN, which is Shiite already in in defacto control of Iraq which borders Saudi.
If ISIS dies ...so does Saudi. The Saudi are keeping ISIS alive with their money....supplies to ISIS and Bribes to other countrys. Molsums killing Moslums is the idea.
