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

Iraqi Christians: Obama abandoned us to the Islamic State

Nov 7, 2016 11:12 am By Robert Spencer

“Obama has never helped the Christians. In fact, he despises them. In the last 26 months, he has shown he despises all of them. But we have hope in the new president, Trump.”

“Christians claim Obama ‘ABANDONED’ them to sick ISIS jihadis – and back Trump election win,” by Oli Smith, Express, November 6, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

IRAQI Christians will pray for Donald Trump’s election victory after they condemned US Government for “abandoning” them to the barbaric terror of Islamic State.

The Christian community in the latest Iraqi town to be freed from ISIS have opened up about how they were terrorised at the hands of the twisted jihadi militants.

The once-bustling Qaraqosh, which boasted of more than 50,000 Christian residents, was recaptured from the jihadis last week.

Residents who stayed in the town have described how ISIS told every Christian to pay a massive tax, convert to Islam or face execution.

Those who survived the terror have now voiced their outrage that President Obama refused to protect them when Iraq’s largest Christian city fell to ISIS more than two years ago.

A man in the village said he hopes Donald Trump – a widely favoured candidate in the town – will bring a different approach to Iraqi Christians.

He told the camera: “Obama has never helped the Christians. In fact, he despises them. In the last 26 months, he has shown he despises all of them.

“But we have hope in the new president, Trump.”

The first mass in the freed Christian town for more than two years

Donald Trump has previously spoken up about how Christians have been left to fend for themselves by the US government.

A Catholic priest in the town said: “The US government led by President Obama could have protected us – or at least helped us to protect ourselves.

“But unfortunately Obama abandoned us, and chose not to get involved.”

A young girl wearing a crucifix then added: “We hope this new guy called Trump will help us more than Obama did.”…

    You will know them by their actions. It is evident that Obama and the Clintons are of the DEVIL.

      “Get behind me Satan”

      Obama and the Clintons would try instruct Jesus on Christianity and explain how Christianity is a greater threat than Islam if Jesus were to come to the Washington, DC Beltway and speak to them.

        Jay Boo,

        I agree.

        We will soon know what direction the American people want for their country.

        “A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
        – Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

        We will either adjust our moral compass and return to Judeo/Christian values, the rule of law and the principles enshrined in the Constitution of the United States, or, we will continue our downward spiral into decadence and the fundamental transformation into the United Socialist States of America.

        “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.”
        – John Adams (1735-1826)

        And now, as in 1776:

        The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
        – George Washington

      Yes Yes. However; There is hope!

      We can “Get down off our high horses” and remind them both that Jesus, (Regardless of what they may think, say, or believe) IS STILL LORD OF ALL.

    Putin shamed Obama into going after ISIS.

    Just before the 2016 election, Obama has finally stepped up pressure even further on ISIS with a military assault known as operation ‘Hillary’.

      PLEASE!
      Barry Obama is NOT A CHRISTIAN!
      You don’t become Christian simply by saying so!
      “BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM!”

        The faith of these people is inspiring and heartbreaking.
        I fear for them, America and the rest of the planet.
        I wish for the kind of strength in faith they have– but there is NOTHING Ms. Maleficent wouldn’t do to gain POTUS.

      • Shmooviyet says

        Nov 7, 2016 at 12:52 pm

        Nor do you become Christian with a bit of gentle help from George Stephanopoulos.

        JimJFox put quotations on ‘Christian’.

      • gravenimage says

        David, that’s why Jim put “Christian” in quotes.

      It was clear very early on that Obama was (of course) not a Christian, PRECISELY because the MSM atheists were loudly swearing on a stack of bibles that Obama was a Christian, and insisting that everyone else, e.g. John McCain, endorse this ludicrous claim.

      Would an authentic Christian seek to have his faith confirmed by John McCain?

      Here as in many other aspects (including incessant suggestions that dissent with Obama positions is “racist”), Team Obama was callously taking advantage of the innate generosity of the American people which is ultimately rooted in Christianity.

    “But unfortunately Obama abandoned us, and chose not to get involved.”

    Bush was excoriated by the left-leaning MSM for getting involved. Not that the left-leaning MSM gives a rat’s ass about Christians in Iraq or elsewhere. Maybe they tolerate the Pope, but the Pope eats their “pro-migrant” agenda hook, line, sinker and pole.

    At a recent Trump rally in Warren, Michigan, I saw a woman holding a sign stating “Chaldeans for Trump.” There is a fairly large Chaldean community in the Detroit area. Chaldeans are Roman Catholics from Iraq.

    • Green Infidel says

      Nov 7, 2016 at 11:42 pm

      Yes, I stayed with friends of my parents in Sterling Heights, MI – there were Chaldaeans in many houses on the street. You could tell, because there were figures of the Virgin Mary in their gardens… great to see that they’re now making themselves heard!

    “Residents who stayed in the town have described how ISIS told every Christian to pay a massive tax, convert to Islam or face execution.”

    should read

    “Residents who stayed in the town have described how ISIS told every Christian to pay a massive tax, convert to Islam or face execution” which is strictly according to Islamic law, Christians and Jews are given three choices: live as dhimmis, subject to a host of disabilities, including the capitation tax known as the jizyah, or to convert to Islam, or to be killed”

    Always try to shame reporters into iiving the full story, lest it be thought that ISIS is making up its own rules. It is not..

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 7, 2016 at 10:19 pm

      Yes–the payment of Jizya is mainstream Islam, and dates back to the days of the “Prophet”.

    “OK. Let’s stop beating around the bush and giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on this one. Put plainly: Barack Obama hates Christians.

    It illustrate this point one need look no further than to read the book written by Obama titled The Audacity of Hope. On page 261 he wrote, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    And when things got ugly, Barack kept his promise. He stood with Muslims and helped them persecute and murder Christians.

    But the irony is that it was Muslims that got ugly with Christians. It clearly wasn’t Christians getting ugly with Muslims. In one single day Muslims in Iraq drove about 200,000 Christians from their homes, and murdering many who didn’t make it out of Iraq quickly enough.”

    We had a Christian Chaplain at the VA I used to work at. A WW2 Vet he grew up in Syrian in the 1930’s his parents where Christian Missionaries. He told me that the Catholic and Orthodox Christians in Syria and Lebanon where wonderful people. But he said the Muslims where the most despicable people on earth, they would be your best friend and smile while they shoved a knife into your guts. He told me they did it to Christians and to each other. He said the stereotype of the “thief of Baghdad” is so true but it would be more accurate to say “The murdering scumbag of Baghdad”..

      Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda’ said, “We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them. Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, “The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.”

    “Iraqi Christians: Obama abandoned us to the Islamic State”

    Of course he did. He’s demonstrated over and over and over how much he LOATHES Christians.

    Why people still think he himself is a Christian, I will never understand!

    The US helped to eradicate Nazism in Germany. There is even more reason to eradicate Islam throughout the world. This should be a stated policy goal of EVERY civilised country!

    Grimly true. I don’t know how much of a panacea Trump would provide, but it would have to be to be better than this.

    Obama is getting involved. He is backing the so called moderate rebels in Syria. Who are actually islamic jijadists who attack and persecute Christians , no different to Isis.
    .

  13. common sense says

    Nov 8, 2016 at 12:56 pm

    And in the mean time king Hussein uses our tax money to campaign for Clinton and brings nary a christian refugee into America while our tax dollars house and feed the jihadists among the Muslim refugees that get a free pass into the US

    Is that how you prevent another 9/11 or bring this divided country together? Hussein likes it divided and in chaos, he is a bigot against Americans for favoring any one group over another.

    The sense of relief is that the truth, is now allowed to be known, that the biggest threat to Christian, Jewish and nonbelievers will soon loose the power to aid jihadist in their quest for caliphate state. Although one can expect a push back, hopefully we can i save Israel, and all the people who have endured the Obama’s aiding and abetting sharia laws.

    Let freedom of speech and church bells ring.
