Middle East against Christians
Obama's mealy-mouthed response
"Tomato/tomato, potato/potato, genocide/murder", as Ms. Clinton would say, "What difference does it make?"
White House spokesman, Josh Earnest, says that the murders by ISIL in the Middle East haven't reached the level of genocide. If (and that's a big leap) they are not of sufficient numbers to be called genocide then, for heaven's sake, could the president at least renounce the murder, slaying, barbaric behavior towards Christians?
Regardless of whether it is deemed by the president to be genocide, it is horrible and should be condemned by the president in the firmest of terms. Apparently, the strongest word they are willing to use is "concerned". Shame on the president for not standing against ISIL for their actions.
What is happening in the Middle East against Christians and Obama's mealy-mouthed response should be vocally challenged by every church, every Christian, every American.
