Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video: Raymond Ibrahim on how the Western establishment conceals Muslim persecution of Christians

Aug 17, 2015 8:53 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

On June 11, I delivered a lecture on Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. It was part of Coptic Solidarity’s sixth annual conference. My topic was the failures and cover ups of the Western establishment—academia, government, and mainstream media—concerning the rampant persecution of Christians in the Middle East.  The 15-minute video of the talk is above.

    Excellent talk given by Mr. Ibrahim. I wonder if there were any media in the audience, or any Musilms?

    While it is most probable that few, if any, JW readers are unaware of the negative role the mainstream media plays in enabling apathy, Raymond Ibrahim has challenged the Western media to do its job: Report the facts; don’t interpret them, “blurring the line between victim and perpetrator.” Indeed, don’t twist those reports such that the reader or viewing audience is presented with a story that purposefully attributes violence to random attacks or to clashes between Christian and Muslim groups, when the Muslims are the ones inciting and carrying out violence that culminates in dead Christians and non-Muslims, as well as burned churches.

    Ibrahim’s specific reference to Obama’s remarks about the Coptic Christians was most salient: Obama referred to them as “Egyptians,” rather than as “Coptic Christians” who were beheaded. Make no mistake, had Obama immediately condemned the beheading of Christians by Muslims, the media would have rushed to get his unprecedented words in print and on breaking-news segments. At that point, there would have been a lot less apathy. Yes, the media has enabled apathy, but Obama has encouraged it. Both the mainstream media and Obama need to do their jobs . . . but JW readers know they won’t.

      Obama is ignoring the suffering of Christians in a cold-hearted manner, even in when the genocides occur against African Christians.

        You nailed that, Mortimer!

        @Mortimer.
        Slightly off-topic but not regarding your comment on Obama’s character. We read about O. visiting his “relatives” in Kenya. I’m not aware of any visits to his white relatives. So much for bridging the “racial divide”.

        Obama hates Christians.

    The United States government led by Obama and Hillary tried to blame the Benghazi attack on a Coptic Christian’s film ‘The Innocence of Muslims’.

    Instead, Hillary turned the event into ‘The Silencing of the Copts’ and ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ as her Muslim Brotherhood protégés got permission from her to slaughter innocent Christians.

      Mortimer, exactly! But if you think that’s bad, check out the article at the following link:

    To Mr. Raymond Ibrahim- Your speech on how the mainstream media facilitates the white washing of atrocities by IS, Boko Haram, etc. to Coptic, Assyrian and Chaldean Christians, Jews, Yazidis and other religious minorities in the Middle East and Africa was not only first class truthful, but demonstrates that you have integrity and you cannot be bought off. You are now on my personal “American Heroes List”. Thank you and God bless you and yours.

    What I don’t get is why the media won’t tell it like it is! It is crazy. Political correctness is crazy.
    If it was Christians doing the bombing and killing you can bet the media would say so in the headline.

    My guess is that the current Western establishments secretly think to themselves, “If we had any 外卵, we’d be doing to our Christians what IS is doing to theirs. To bad that in the US Bible Belt, a lot of Christians are armed.”

    can we get a transcript of the talk?

    And another example:

    Transpose perpetrators and victim and the sky would fall in.

    Whenever Obama mentions Christianity, it is to vilify or criticize. Whenever Obama mentions Islam, it is to praise and glorify it. He does make clear his true beliefs.

    Excellent Ibrahim…hope some officials were in that room listening and learning.

    MB, Saudi influence Iranian terror have had the power to silence the media. This seems to be an insurgency that we have to acknowledge…knowledge of Islam is been restricted so the deception misleads. Misrepresentation by media colludes with enemy.

    Isis is Islamic in my opinion they know no borders. They do not feel obligations to treaties. You know the rest but exposure helps in my opinion.
