Raymond Ibrahim on NewsMax TV: Obama admin’s anti-Christian, pro-Islam bias

Aug 20, 2015 6:09 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Last week I appeared on Newsmax Prime, hosted by JD Hayworth and Miranda Khan.  We discussed how the West in general, the Obama administration in particular, not only ignore but exacerbate the plight of Mideast Christians.  The six-minute clip is above.

    “Bias” is too soft to describe the stance of the Obama administration on Christians, whether refugees seeking sanctuary from barbaric persecution or natives wanting to follow their religion and refusing to cater to a gay wedding.

    Expecting any to see the *logic* of the source and reason for the persecution as being islam is really expecting too much. They do know the reasons…they are aware the source is islam…they are just refusing to acknowledge it because they want to keep the false front, the image, of islam to hide the evil that is throughout the *religion.*
    If two men are born in the same village, city, etc., grow up together doing the same things and find a job at the same company and one of them comes down with a terrible sickness…they would ask, “what is the difference in these two”…finding that one brings his clean lunch from home and the other one eats what vultures wouldn’t touch.

    The “powers that be”…those admiring islam as the one to protect and praise…mind not that Christians are being slaughtered.
    But, Mr. Ibrahim, thank you for all you do in trying to educate and bring about relief.

    Like Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, Raymond Ibrahim provides a clarion call against the persecution of Christians by Muslims and specifically indicts the Obama administration for failure to act, because such action would undermine his administration’s narrative that Islam is a religion of peace. Relevant extracts are provided here:

    JD Hayworth: “Just how severe is the problem as specifically in the Middle East?”

    Raymond: “. . . These are real martyrs, if you look at it. These are real people who are not unlike what you read that the Roman Empire did to the first Christians in the first and earlier centuries and decades. It’s the identical story. Christians under the Islamic State and under other Islamic organizations and mobs and regimes are often times even being told, “Convert or die.” And they are being killed. And so to understand it, you have to, you know, here in America we often talk about discrimination against Christianity and there is that, but this is war against Christians. You either convert or we saw your head off. And it’s happening all around.”

    Miranda Khan: “Why isn’t the Obama administration doing more to help those Christians?”

    Raymond: “There are a number of theories about this. In my opinion, I think the greatest one is, I always say that the Islamic persecution of Christians is the Achilles heal to the image of Islam and Obama and others have this ongoing narrative that Islam, of course, has nothing to do with ISIS . . . Islam is peaceful, etc., etc. And so if you find out that Christian minorities who are the most indigenous people in Syria and Egypt and Iraq and elsewhere and who have the same names and look identically and are the same ethnicity of the Muslim neighbors that they live with and speak the same language and they are being brutally attacked and killed for no lesser reason than that they are Christians, I think that really starts making the entire edifice, the narrative of the Obama administration is trying to put forward about Islam, start to crumble.”

    JD: “Pardon the pun Raymond but to hear you talk about this it’s almost become the greatest story never told. The administration ignores it; the mainstream media ignores it; and then you have this perversity in terms of who we are allowing in the country. Since New Year’s Day we have admitted 727 Christians, but 4205 Muslims from Iraq. From Syria, only 23 Christians and almost, what, 820 Muslims in Syria. Our immigration policy . . . isn’t there a need when you see the persecution? Why the inertia from the State Department? Does it all begin at the top?”

    Raymond: “I believe so, and I believe it’s worse than that. I know of at least two cases, and I am sure you do to, of Christian minority representatives from Iraq, one case is from Iraq and one is from Nigeria and the State Department invites all these governors and representatives, and most of them are Muslim sects, Sunnis and Shias and Druze, and so forth, to come and they give them visas. And then the one Christian gets denied. You are aware of this. It happens with the nun, I believe Sr. Diana from Iraq. But even a year or two before that it happened to the only Christian governor of northern Nigeria, of the states of the Northern Nigeria, the State Department invited maybe a dozen of them. He was the only Christian one; he was denied a visa. And so it goes again to this idea of trying to suppress the reality from getting out so that the administration can maintain this narrative that Islam is not doing what it’s doing. And so it’s happening indeed from top to bottom.”

    Indeed, the narrative that Islam is a religion of peace does come from the top, which enables the egregious examples of the peaceful nature of Islam to unabatedly and exponentially soak the soil with the blood of those who refuse to convert, if even given that option. There is definitely a war against Christianity, a war that facts can not deny.
