How many times has our president.....Obama.....even mentioned this? Zero. How many stories have the mainstream liberal press done? Not hardly enough; if any.
"The “war on Christianity” is being ignored by the mainstream media and the Obama administration, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) charged Friday, addressing the global attacks on Christians around the world.
“From Boston to Zanzibar, there’s a worldwide war on Christianity,” Paul said to applause Friday when speaking at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C."
“American tax dollars should never be spent to prop up a war on Christianity,” Paul continued. “But that’s what’s happening now across the globe. As Christians, we should take a stand and fight against any of your tax dollars funding any persecution of Christians.”
Paul cited a poll by Pew Research that found 21 percent of Egyptians, 15 percent of Jordanians, and 13 percent of Pakistani Muslims find terrorism acceptable.
“It’s a minority to be sure, but if you add up the numbers in just three countries…over 40 million Muslims sympathize with violence against Christians,” Paul said.
“Radical Islam will end only when Islam begins to police itself,” Paul added. “Only then will knowledge [and] enlightenment begin to glow and grow – [and ] religious violence will recede.”
Thank you Rand Paul for pointing out to us what the liberal media/press are ignoring.

Had to go to the UK for this article:
"Tory MP Philip Hollobone has demanded more be done to stop the persecution of Christians across the Middle East and Africa.
Many Coptic Christians have been killed, tortured and raped while churches have been torched, including 100 in Egypt. Last month Taliban suicide bombers killed 85 worshippers at a Christian church in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Mr Hollobone fears Christians in Syria are now under threat of a genocide on the scale of the 1994 Rwandan massacre of 50,000 Tutsis.
He said: “If Muslims were treated in this country as Christians are in Egypt and Syria, there would be international outrage."

How do people go from condoning acts of terrorism against perceived tyranny to it somehow being an attack on Christianity? The dots don't connect. That is, of course, unless Christians are the one's responsible for the tyranny.
If Christians were treated like Muslims are in Egypt and Syria there would be internal outrage within the United States. The United States was established as a secular government and not a sectarian government. Of course there are those like Paul Rand that might believe that the United States should be a "Christian" nation and there is no excuse for that considering that the Founders of America rejected that proposition completely.
Let us go back to a simply proposition. Any nation founded upon race, religion, ethnic heritage, social status or other invidious criteria is inherently tyrannical. What we see in nations such as Egypt, Syria, and Israel that are founded upon the criteria of race, religion, and ethnic heritage tyranny exists because it will always exist in these situations.
