Genocide: House Approves Declaration on ISIS Atrocities - U.S foreign policy a major reason Islamic extremism genocidal levels against
Christians
The
House of Representatives has approved a resolution that condemns the
Islamic States' wide-scale murder of Christians and other minorities as
genocide.
The resolution passed Monday 393 to 0.
The move pressures the Obama administration to officially declare the
Islamic State's bloodshed against Christians, Yazidis and other groups,
including the Kurds, as "genocide, war crimes and crimes against
humanity."
Author Raymond Ibrahim explains why U.S foreign policy is
a major reason Islamic extremism has risen to genocidal levels against
Christians in the Middle East. Click play to watch.
Such
a declaration could require more action by the U.S. government against
ISIS. Congress has given the administration a deadline to officially
label the atrocities by Thursday.
But Obama administration officials have cautioned that a legal review
is still under way and that Secretary of State John Kerry is not likely
to meet the deadline.
House Speaker Paul Ryan chided the White House for the anticipated delay.
"As the administration waffles on this issue and doubles-down on its
failed strategy to defeat (the Islamic State), the American people are
speaking loudly and clearly on this issue," the Wisconsin Republican
said.
