The House voted Monday to pass a resolution, with 383-0 giving their ayes, that ISIS is committing genocide against Christians and other minorities in the Middle East
It does seem sadly ironic that after decades of murders at the hands of ISIS, which has existed under other names since the early 1990s, that a House resolution is just now passed.
This vote came ahead of a deadline set by Congress that told the Obama administration that they must determine if the actions of the Islamic State was in fact genocide.
Josh Earnest said that, “This is something the State Department is continuing to look at but certainly has not in anyway delayed the administration from (sic) taking aggressive action to protect religious minorities….” Read the rest of his statement on the next page. A continued look into the atrocities is not what those who are losing their heads for the sake of Christ need.
A resolution on ink and paper. . .I want some action. It will not stop ISIS because of a piece of paper saying ISIS you are committing Genocide. . .lets see what is done.
DUH!!
Thank you. They are doing this to press the UN into action.
I just don’t understand why ‘IT TOOK A VOTE” to figure this out!!!!
Sometimes history is our best teacher. When you know your enemy’s worst, and in this case, only Fear, your obviously use it against them. Although Brig. Gen. John “Blackjack” Pershing has been credited for the event by history, it was actually US Army Col. Alexander Rodgers of the 6th Cavalry who, in 1911, who stopped an Islamic uprising in the Philippines by taking advantage of the theological taboo of the Muslims. Rodgers inaugurated the practice of burying all dead Islamic rebels in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs. Islamic religion forbids Muslims to have contact with pork. The tactic Rodgers used on a regular basis was to bury the rebels he executed with pig entrails, which would prevent that Islamist from going to heaven.
Gen. John J. Pershing was in overall command of Rodger’s garrison. There had been scores of Islamic terrorist attacks on the predominantly Catholic Filipino population which the Muslims were attempting to overthrow. Pershing ordered Rodgers to put an end to the killing. Rodgers caught 25 Islamic terrorists are ordered 24 of them to dig their own graves. The 25th was forced to watch. Rodger’s troops brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets with the blood and pig fat.
The terrorists, who had heard horror stories about American soldiers dipping their bullets in pigs’ blood were about to experience their worst nightmare first hand. The terrorists were terrorized. They were going to be contaminated with pig blood. That meant they couldn’t enter Heaven—even if they died as martyrs. Of course, that also meant there would not be 72 virgins waiting for them in hog heaven.
Rodgers ordered the 24—who were forced to dig the mass grave that would be their final resting place—shot. Their bodies were dumped into the mass grave. The 25th terrorist was forced to watch. The pig entrails were unceremoniously poured over the lifeless terrorist corpses. The witness was released and returned to the terrorist camp where he related to his Muslim cohorts what happened to his comrades. What Rodgers did brought an end to Islamic terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years. It should be clear to the world that only terrorism will shake the terrorist. Sometimes you have no choice but to fight fire with fire.
I like Sessions and Gowdy
