ISIS PERSECUTES CHRISTIANS, AND THE OBAMANS SHRUG – AT 12:51 P.M. ET:  This country's response to the persecution of Christians by ISIS is obscene, but the mainstream media doesn't seem to care much.  From Gatestone Institute:

When a 1,400-year-old Iraqi Christian monastery was destroyed by the Islamic State (ISIS) most of the world condemned the demolition -- except for spokesman for the U.S. military's Operation Inherent Resolve, Col. Steve Warren.

"Thousands [of Iraqi Christians] have been killed, hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee," said CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview with Col. Warren the other week. "There is legitimate fear -- you're there in Baghdad -- that the long history of Christians living peacefully, productively in Iraq, is coming to an end. How worried should we be about the Christian community in Iraq?"

Col. Warren's response: "Wolf, ISIL doesn't care if you're a Christian ... We've seen no specific evidence of a specific targeting towards Christians."

Except that roughly two-thirds of Iraq's 1.5 million Christian citizens have been killed or forced to flee the country by ISIS and its jihadi predecessors over the past decade. This has nothing to do with their religious identity?

COMMENT:  I wish Christian groups would have their own million-man march to Washington to expose the horror in the Mideast.  I cannot understand the lack of urgency.

Read the whole story.  It's important.
