Obama, the Pope, and persecuted Christians

Despite all the evident joy and anticipated pronouncements coming during Pope Francis’s visit to this hemisphere, it is a worrisome day for orthodox Christians.  Francis never met with Catholic dissidents in Cuba, and professed not to know that many had been detained so that they could not see him.  Now we have news from Raymond Ibrahim, the Egyptian expert on Christian persecution in the world today, that Obama favors Muslims and discriminates against Christians among the millions of refugees from the Middle East.

Here is Ibrahim’s full report.  It is disturbing at many levels, not least of which is bias against Christians by the State Department:

• The Obama administration never seems to miss an opportunity to display its bias for Muslims against Christians. The State Dept. is in the habit of inviting scores of Muslim representatives but denying visas to solitary Christian representatives. While habitually ignoring the slaughter of Christians at hands of Boko Haram, the administration called for the “human rights” of the jihadi murderers.
