Kirsten Powers: John Kerry should recognize Christian genocide

In October, Islamic State militants in Syria demanded that two Christian women and six men convert to Islam. When they refused,
the women were publicly raped and then beheaded along with the men. On the same day, militants cut off the fingertips of a 12-year-
old boy in an attempt to force his Christian father to convert. When his father refused, they were brutalized and then crucified.

This has become the plight of Christians in the Middle East at the hands of the Islamic State terrorist group, also known as ISIL or
ISIS. Beheadings, crucifixions and enslavement are visited on those who won't renounce their religious beliefs. The lucky ones
are murdered in more mundane ways or driven from their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This year, we’ve seen a Newsweek cover exclaiming, “The New Exodus: Christians Flee ISIS in the Middle East,” and
a New York Times piece asking, “Is This the End of Christianity in the Middle East?” The progressive Center for American
Progress noted in a March report, “Some of the oldest Christian communities in the world are disappearing in the very lands
where their faith was born and first took root.”

One of the authors of that report, Brian Katulis, has joined forces with a diverse group of Christian leaders to urge the State
Department to recognize what everyone else seems to see: There is an ongoing genocide against Middle
Eastern Christians at the hands of radical jihadists.

Gotta love when people justify it by bringing up Christian terrorism.


The biggest argument most people have is "what about the crusades?!"'; the crusades happened almost 1000 years ago.

Then they bring up Africa, but those genocides and killings based on 'religion' are actually based on ethnic issues within the African community.

Then they bring up the KKK, which uses the guise of religion to cover up ethnic discrimination.

Then they bring up the IRA, but the IRA was fighting for an independent Ireland under the guise that it was a protestant vs catholic issue.



So they really have no good MODERN examples (by modern, I mean within the past 25 years) to back up their claim of Christian terrorism.

Maybe I missed it, but when did the White House announce we are opening our nations doors to Christian refugees from the Middle East before they are slaughtered by ISIS?

Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?
