A pro-family organization is outraged that in recent weeks radical Islamists have murdered hundreds of Christians around the world – and that the White House has been silent about the slaughter.
The American Family Association has compiled a list of six incidents in the past two weeks where Islamic jihadists targeted Christians for assassination solely because of their faith in Christ. Entire families, including children, were slaughtered in their homes, churches, and public gatherings.
Perhaps the highest-profile incident was on September 21 in Nairobi, Kenya, when members of the al Qaida-linked Somali terrorist group al Shabab killed 67 Christians at the Westgate Mall after people who identified themselves as Muslims were allowed to leave. In other incidents, 90 Christians were slaughtered by Islamic suicide bombers in Pakistan – and Christians were among the 50 students murdered at a school in Nigeria.
In its public statement, AFA points out that “ironically, while Christian lives are being silenced by radical jihadists,” the White House has been silent. Bryan Fischer is AFA’s director of issues analysis.
“It’s very clear that we have a president who is far more sympathetic to Islam than he is to Christianity,” he tells OneNewNow. “And everywhere that this president has used his influence around the world, he has emboldened the forces of radical Islam and has exposed the lives of Christians to great risk.”
And Fischer points out that jihadists recently went into a 2,000-year old Syrian village and murdered many Christians, before Bashar Assad’s Syrian army retook the town. “Our president is actually arming the very rebels who are actually killing Christians in that land – and it’s absolutely shameful,” he states.
Fischer says AFA is calling on Christians to urge President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry to break their silence and condemn the killing of Christians by Islamic terrorists.
