What say you for those that believe the President to be Muslim...
...................he's saving Christians in Iraq?
???????????????
a few months ago when the barbarians were taking over Christian cities in Syria.. obama made a joke about it..
a few weeks ago when the barbarians were taking over Christian cities in northern Iraq, .. Obama didn't react..
now finally he decides it is time to act.. but it wasn't to save the Christians..
for the record. he is saving the Yazidis' and it is about time he grew a set...
While Mr. Obama has authorized airstrikes, American officials said there had not yet been any as of late Thursday. In addition to protecting Americans in Erbil and Baghdad, the president said he had authorized airstrikes, if necessary, to break the siege on Mount Sinjar, where tens of thousands of Yazidis, a religious minority group closely allied with the Kurds, have sought refuge.
we should have backed the Kurds all along.. (who are mostly muslims)
Today, the majority of Kurds are Sunni Muslim, belonging to the Shafi school.
but now for a bit of facts..
the Kurds are protecting the Christians.. and the Yazidis.
the Kurds are not liked by the Islamist.. because they aren't radical enough..
but the Yazidis themsleves are considered devil worshipers by the barbarians..
The Yazidi (also Yezidi, Êzidî, Yazdani, ایزدیان, Եզդիներ, Езиды) are a Kurdish- and Arabic- speaking endogamous ethno-religious community who practice an ancient syncretic religion linked to Zoroastrianism which has incited centuries of persecution of the Yazidi as "devil worshippers" by followers of these religions. Persecution of Yazidis has continued in their home communities within the borders of modern Iraq, under both Saddam Hussein and fundamentalist Sunni Muslim revolutionaries.[13]
Yazidism is not an offshoot of another religion (such as Christianity or Islam), but shows influence from the many religions of the middle-east.
Yazidism also includes elements of ancient nature-worship, as well as influences from Christianity, Gnosticism, Zoroastrianism, Islam and Judaism. Yazidi accounts of creation differ from that of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
but irregardless of the religion Obama decides he wants to draw the line at,.. I am grateful... as no one deserves to be killed, let alone crucified for their beliefs..
sorry if I blew a hole in your lame argument that Obama isn't a muslim
maybe he isn't a muslim,.. maybe he is.. but according to some liberals,.. he prays to the "same god" as the muslims,..
