US "president" responsible for Christian persecution

In March 2011, the US "president" sidestepped the War Powers Act and Congress by involving the US military in Libya as part of the al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-backed Arab Spring overthrow of several Northern African and Middle Eastern governments. To counter Congressional pressure that he violated the Constitution by committing troops without Congressional approval and in supporting terrorists that were killing US troops in other countries, the "president" took to the airwaves and made his case directly to the American public in an address on March 28, 2011. From the National Defense University in Washington, DC, he justified his actions saying that innocent people could be massacred. 

He said, "To brush aside America's responsibility as a leader and--more profoundly--our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are. Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different.  And as President, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action." In other words, he committed US and NATO finances and firepower to prevent a possible attack on the Libyan people by then leader Muammar Qaddafi. In doing so, he directly funded a known al Qaeda operative who came in from Iraq and whose men had been fighting against US soldiers.

Fast forward to the world created by the US "president's" support of Arab Spring. The Middle East is in disarray. Iran is on pace for a nuclear weapon, and the missile system to deliver it. Columnist Raymond Ibrahim recounts story after story of Christian beheadings, rapes and crucifixions in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Egypt. Ibrahim writes: "The jihadis took one group in front of a large crowd.They cut off the fingertips of a 12-year-old boy, who steadfastly refused to submit to Islam.They "severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam." He refused, so they "also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion." Then two Christian women were publicly raped, and with eight others were beheaded and hung on crosses.

This is just one story that has become commonplace in the Middle East. Ibrahim concludes: "The ongoing slaughter of Christians by the Islamic State and the destruction of churches and antiquities must be laid at the feet of those Western nations that, intentionally or unintentionally, paved the way for the Islamic State." So where is this US "president" who once vowed that to "brush aside America's responsibility..to our fellow human beings...would be a betrayal of who we are"? It would appear that Christians are less than human beings not only in the eyes of the Islamists, but also in the "president's" eyes. Actions speak louder than words. Jesus said in Matthew 7:20, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." The fruits of this "president" has been torture, death and destruction to our Christian brothers and sisters.
