Barack Obama is doing what he does best. He is golfing. He is also getting what he wants. The US and the world are in flames with no US leadership. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Middle East. The Christian churches in the Middle East date from the First Century. Church tradition says the Coptic Church in Egypt was established by St. Mark, one of the twelve apostles in 42 AD. Now, almost 2000 years later, there may not be much of that church remaining. From CNS News: Bishop Anba Suriel, who was born in Egypt and leads the Coptic Orthodox Church in the diocese of Melbourne, Australia, denounced the “merciless and barbaric acts of genocide” against Christians in Mosul, Iraq, asked why most world leaders and the media were nearly silent about the killings, and stressed that if “we do not take a strong stance against these crimes against humanity, it is only a matter of time before such fundamentalism infects the entire world.” “Mosul, the cradle of Christianity in Iraq since the first centuries, is now purged of its entire Christian population,” said Bishop Suriel in a statement issued last week. “The ruthless and purposeful savagery of the attacks by the fundamentalist Muslim terrorist organization The Islamic State (IS), formerly known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), is truly inconceivable.” “Yet most world leaders remain silent in the face of the murder of innocent children and horrific beheadings of civilians,” said the bishop. “We question why the media has not highlighted the unprecedented systematic eradication of the citys entire Christian population.” Bishop Anba Suriel, who was born in Egypt and leads the Coptic Orthodox Church in the diocese of Melbourne, Australia, denounced the “merciless and barbaric acts of genocide” against Christians in Mosul, Iraq, asked why most world leaders and the media were nearly silent about the killings, and stressed that if “we do not take a strong stance against these crimes against humanity, it is only a matter of time before such fundamentalism infects the entire world.” “Mosul, the cradle of Christianity in Iraq since the first centuries, is now purged of its entire Christian population,” said Bishop Suriel in a statement issued last week. “The ruthless and purposeful savagery of the attacks by the fundamentalist Muslim terrorist organization The Islamic State (IS), formerly known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), is truly inconceivable.” “Yet most world leaders remain silent in the face of the murder of innocent children and horrific beheadings of civilians,” said the bishop. “We question why the media has not highlighted the unprecedented systematic eradication of the citys entire Christian population.” Anyone remember the 1990’s? The Clinton administration demanded we bomb Serbia because of “Ethnic cleansing.” Of course, those were Muslims being persecuted then. Now that Muslims are engaging in ethnic cleansing and genocide against Christians, where is the left? Obama is cheering for those who are promoting this genocide. Remember his support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt or his support for radical Islamists in Syria? As the Christian population of Mosul Iraq was wiped out, Obama golfed. While Obama was improving his backswing, in Iraq, a backhoe was burying the victims of his policies.
