The Obama administration is pretending to be outraged at what Islamic State, the Houthis and AQAP is doing in the Middle East…killing countless Christians in what appears to be weeks at a time.
WASHINGTON – President Obama defended his administration’s approach to the terror threat at a White House summit Wednesday, standing by claims that groups like the Islamic State do not represent Islam — as well as assertions that job creation could help combat extremism.
Obama, addressing the Washington audience on the second day of the summit, said the international community needs to address “grievances” that terrorists exploit, including economic and political issues.
He stressed that poverty alone doesn’t cause terrorism, but “resentments fester” and extremism grows when millions of people are impoverished.
“We do have to address the grievances that terrorists exploit including economic grievances,” he said.
He also said no single religion was responsible for violence and terrorism, adding he wants to lift up the voice of tolerance in the United States and beyond.
*** Then we have the State Department:
Marie Harf, the State Department spokesperson, was on Hardball, with Chris Matthews. On Monday’s edition of “Hardball” here on MSNBC, Harf talked with host Chris Matthews about ISIS and explained that the United States can’t “kill our way out” of the problem.
“We’re killing a lot of them, and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians. So are the Jordanians. They’re in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need, in the longer term – medium and longer term – to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups. […]
“You’re right, there is no easy solution in the long term to preventing and combatting violent extremism, but if we can help countries work at the root causes of this – what makes these 17-year-old kids pick up an AK-47 instead of trying to start a business? Maybe we can try to chip away at this problem, while at the same time going after the threat, taking on ISIL in Iraq, in Syria, and helping our partners around the world.”
***These terror groups not only know history, but they are studied other religions and know it better than you, the reader. They are killing their way across the Middle East. So what is the White House and National Security Council strategy to stop the genocide of Christianity? The short answer, there is no strategy.
Fair warning, at the 25 minute mark, the video becomes gruesome. The early portion of the video demonstrates Islamic State’s mission, knowledge and quest to destroy all religions but that of Islam.
ISIS Beheads Ethiopian Christians in Libya
The Islamic State has a released a new video purportedly showing the mass execution and beheading of Ethiopian Christians in Libya. The 29-minute video was released on Sunday, April 19, by ISIS’ Al-Furqan media arm and claims to show Islamic State affiliates in the eastern Libya province known as Barka Province and the southern Fazzan Province.
The video begins with a long introduction of a rant against Christendom, but the gore begins at around 25 minutes, when a pistol brandishing jihadist claims that Christians must convert to Islam or pay a special tax in the Quran known as Jizya.
First a line of alleged Ethiopian Christians are lined up and shot in the back of the head. After that, the scene cuts to a beach where another group of alleged Ethiopian Christians are beheaded in much a similar way to the February beheadings of the Coptic Christians.
