Congress Should Probe Denial of Entry to Iraqi Nun
"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is calling for a congressional investigation of the State Department's refusal to allow an Iraqi nun to come to Washington to talk about the persecution of Christians in her conflict-torn country.He slammed the decision as "totally wrong."In an exclusive interview with Newsmax on Friday, Gingrich said he was "amazed" and "outraged" at the rejection by the U.S. Consulate in Erbil of Sister Diana Momeka's non-immigrant-visa application."Congress has to investigate and find out who made this decision and what is the State Department going to do about it," Gingrich said."This is an administration which never seems to find a good enough excuse to help Christians, but always finds an excuse to apologize for terrorists . . . I hope that as it gets attention that Secretary [of State John] Kerry will reverse it. If he doesn't, Congress has to investigate, and the person who made this decision ought to be fired.""The idea that a nun who has the kind of endorsement she had from very serious people... who has not been given permission to come here and say and tell the truth about the war against Christianity is just totally wrong.". http://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/642160
