Exposed: Obama’s Love for Jihadis and Hate for Christians
Exposed: Obama’s Love for Jihadis and Hate for Christians
By Raymond Ibrahim, Israpundit, November 19, 2015
Obama recently lashed out against the idea of giving preference to Christian refugees, describing it as “shameful”: “That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion,” loftily added the American president.
Accordingly, the administration is still determined to accept 10,000 more Syrian refugees, almost all of whom will be Muslim, despite the fact that some are ISIS operatives, while many share the ISIS worldview (as explained below).
Yet right as Obama was grandstanding about “who we are,” statistics were released indicating that “the current [refugee] system overwhelmingly favors Muslim refugees. Of the 2,184 Syrian refugees admitted to the United States so far, only 53 are Christians while 2,098 are Muslim.”
Aside from the obvious—or to use Obama’s own word, “shameful”—pro-Muslim, anti-Christian bias evident in these statistics, there are a number of other troubling factors as well.
For starters, the overwhelming majority of “refugees” being brought into the United States are not just Muslim, but Sunnis—the one Muslim sect that the Islamic State is not persecuting and displacing. After all, ISIS—and most Islamic terrorist groups (Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab, Hamas, et al)—are all Sunnis. Even Obama was arguably raised a Sunni.
In this context, how are Sunnis “refugees”? Who are they fleeing? Considering that the Obama administration defines refugees as people “persecuted by their government,” most of those coming into the U.S. either aided or at least sympathized with the jihad against Assad (even if they only revealed their true colors when the time was right).
Simply put, some 98% of all refugees belong to the same Islamic sect that ISIS does. And many of them, unsurprisingly, share the same vision—such as the “refugees” who recently murdered some 120 people in France, or the “refugees” who persecute Christian minorities in European camps and settlements. (None of this should be surprising considering that Al Azhar—the Sunni world’s most prestigious university of Islamic law, which co-hosted Obama’s 2009 “A New Beginning” speech—was recently exposed as teaching and legitimizing all the atrocities that ISIS commits.)
As for those who are being raped, slaughtered, and enslaved based on their non-Sunni religious identity—not by Assad, but by so-called “rebel” forces (AKA jihadis)—many of them are being denied refuge in America.
Thus, although Christians were approximately 10 percent of Syria’s population in 2011, only one percent has been granted refuge in America. This despite the fact that, from a strictly humanitarian point of view—and humanitarianism is the chief reason being cited in accepting refugees, Obama’s “compassion”—Christians should receive priority simply because they are the most persecuted group in the Middle East.
At the hands of the Islamic State, which supposedly precipitated the migrant crisis, Christians have been repeatedly forced to renounce Christ or die; they have been enslaved and raped; and they have had more than 400 of their churches desecrated and destroyed.[i]
ISIS has committed no such atrocities against fellow Sunnis, they who are being accepted into the U.S. in droves. Nor does Assad enslave, behead, or crucify people based on their religious identity (despite Jeb Bush’s recent, and absurd, assertions).
Obama should further prioritize Christian refugees simply because his own policies in the Middle East have directly exacerbated their plight. Christians and other religions minorities did not flee from Bashar Assad’s Syria, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, or Muamar Gaddafi’s Libya. Their systematic persecution began only after the U.S. interfered in those nations in the name of “democracy” but succeeding in only uncorking the jihadi terrorists that the dictators had long kept suppressed.
Incidentally, prioritizing Christian refugees would not merely be an altruistic gesture or the U.S. government’s way of righting its wrongs: rather it brings many benefits to America’s security. (Unlike Muslims or even Yazidis, Christians are easily assimilated into Western nations due to the shared Christian heritage, and they bring trustworthy language and cultural skills that are beneficial to the “war on terror.”)
Finally, no one should be shocked by these recent revelations of the Obama administration’s pro-Muslim and anti-Christian policies. They fit a clear and established pattern of religious bias within his administration. For example:
When inviting scores of Muslim representatives, the State Department is in the habit of denying visas to solitary Christian representatives.
When a few persecuted Iraqi Christians crossed the border into the U.S., they were thrown in prison for several months and then sent back to the lion’s den to be enslaved, raped, or murdered.
When the Nigerian government waged a strong offensive against Boko Haram, killing some of its terrorists, Secretary of State John Kerry fumed and called for the “human rights” of the jihadis (who regularly slaughter and rape Christians and burn their churches). Morerecently, Kerry “urged Tajikistan not to go overboard in its crackdown on Islam.”
When persecuted Coptic Christians planned on joining Egypt’s anti-Muslim Brotherhood revolution of 2013, the U.S. said no.
When persecuted Iraqi and Syrian Christians asked for arms to join the opposition fighting ISIS, D.C. refused.
When the UN Security Council held a meeting to discuss the genocide against Christians and other minorities, although “many high level delegations from UN member states addressed the Security Council meeting, some at the Foreign Minister level, the United States failed to send … a high ranking member of the State Department.”
Most recently, as the White House works on releasing a statement accusing ISIS of committing genocide against religious minorities such as Yazidis — who are named and recognized in the statement — Obama officials are arguing that Christians “do not appear to meet the high bar set out in the genocide treaty” and thus likely not be mentioned.
In short, and to use the president’s own words, it is the Obama administration’s own foreign and domestic policies that are “shameful,” that are “not American,” and that do not represent “who we are.”
Yet the question remains: Will Americans take notice and do anything about their leader’s policies—which welcome Islamic jihadis while ignoring their victims—or will their indifference continue until they too become victims of the jihad, in a repeat of Paris or worse?
[i] Even before the new “caliphate” was established, Christians were and continue to be targeted by Muslims—Muslim mobs, Muslim individuals, Muslim regimes, and Muslim terrorists, from Muslim countries of all races (Arab, African, Asian, etc.)—and for the same reason: Christians are infidel number one. See Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians for hundreds of anecdotes before the rise of ISIS as well as the Muslim doctrines that create such hate and contempt for Christians who are especially deserving of refugee status.

This article is garbage.
Buzz, you need to start seeding from more reliable sources.

Even Obama was arguably raised a Sunni.
So was Obama ever a practicing Muslim in his early years?
His presidential campaign said he never was and that he was not raised in any religion. Various news articles and biographies -- including the president’s own writings -- indicate he had a secular upbringing.
Articles interviewing Obama’s neighbors while he was in Indonesia indicate he sometimes attended a mosque with his stepfather.
Some of the web commentary has focused on the fact that Obama was listed in his Catholic school records as a Muslim as evidence that was his faith while in Indonesia.
But a number of stories suggested he may have been listed as Muslim simply because Obama’s stepfather was Muslim, though press accounts suggest Lolo Soetoro was not particularly devout.
Officials at the predominantly Muslim school that Obama attended has said the public academy is open to people of all faiths. A March, 2007 story in the Chicago Tribune said that when Obama was attending 4th grade, Muslim children would spend two hours a week studying Islam while Christian children would spend that time studying Christianity.
Even the passage from "Audacity of Hope" that Robertson cited in his e-mail shows the president’s upbringing included some ambivalence towards religion.
"My mother was less concerned with me learning the catechism or puzzling out the meaning of the muezzin’s call to evening prayer than she was with whether I was properly learning my multiplication tables," Obama wrote.
The president has said he became a Christian in his 20s while a community organizer in Chicago.
To sum up:
Robertson said Obama was raised Muslim.
Obama’s own writings, independent biographies and news articles show he had a secular childhood. Sure, he went to an Indonesian school where most of the children were Muslim and there are accounts that he sometimes attended a mosque with his Islamic stepfather. But there is no evidence that the president was a practicing Muslim raised in the faith.
By saying Obama was raised Muslim, Robertson is repeating a debunked claim. We rate his statement Pants on Fire.
I never said Obama was a Muslim - nor did the article. It said he was PRO-Muslim, so what is the relevence of the article you posted? Are you denying the facts outlined in the article - never mind the opinions. Are you saying that the refugees that are acceptable are NOT by a vast majority Muslim? Are you saying that the Christians have not been greatly discriminated against, and attacked, in the Muslim countries?
Even Obama was arguably raised a Sunni.
I don't see any evidence that Obama was raised as a Muslim. Is there any evidence that Obama has ever practiced the Muslim religion ? No. His stepfather , who Obama had contact with for a period of a few years, seems to have attended mosque occasionally. That is about it.
If Obama had been "raised as a Sunni (Muslim)", there would be some evidence of it, not mere speculation.
ARGUABLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
No real proof either way.
Well, normally logic prevents people from assuming whatever they want in the face of evidence, (or lack of evidence) but I guess conservatives don't care for logic. Can you prove that Netanyahu doesn't like to wear women's underwear in his private residence ? But I suppose on a more serious note, there is racism in Netanyahu's family background, according to some reports
Netanyahu Family ?s Racist History: Like Father, Like Son …
Netanyahu Family ’s Racist History: Like Father, Like Son. ... By the way, family gathering in the Ben Artzi- Netanyahu extended family must be very lively. Reply Link.
Is Netanyahu "arguably" a racist Buzz ?
"Buzz, you need to start seeding from more reliable sources."
So should you, but it's so easy just to criticize a source and ignore actual facts that are contained therein, isn't it, John? You are so talented in that respect.
"Is Netanyahu "arguably" a racist Buzz ?"
You're entitled to your opinion, John. As you pointed out to me, that doesn't make it right, nor does it make it wrong. It is just an opinion. But you do not address the FACTS that are recited in the article, do you?
About a week ago he once again admitted he was a Muslim. Notice how he said WE.
“I THINK THAT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY HAS TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT BEING INFECTED WITH THE THIS NOTION THAT THEY CAN KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, AND THAT SOMEHOW THAT IS JUSTIFIED BY RELIGION.” B.O.
If Obama said
“I THINK THAT THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY HAS TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN ARE NOT BEING MOLESTED BY CLERGY.”
would that make him a Catholic ?
You are misunderstanding the use of the word "we".
Is Obama a muslim ? He sure talks like one :
I think we all know who Obama is, well maybe all but those who have a "firewall that separates them from reality" like Reverend Jeremiah Wright's daughter who was sentenced to 2 years in prison for stealing money dedicated to help poor people and AIDS patients. Also there were I believe 13 other Democrats involved in that atrocity. I know that six of them pleaded guilty. I don't know about the rest.
But we know who Obama is and how quite a few of his appointees are questionable.
