BALTIMORE, Maryland August 25, 2015 - In the 6th century Christians built a monastery at Qaryatain in Syria. Some 300 years before the building began, St. Elian was martyred in the same location. In the monastery are, actually were, frescoes. They are among the oldest of all Christian Frescoes and are the oldest in Syria. Now, the hounddogs that are ISIS have raised the monastery. Our allegedly Christian president sits back, golfing with the rich, and otherwise doing nothing as tens of thousands of Christians are slaughtered.
Let that thought swish around in your being for a bit. Tens of thousand of innocent Christians are slaughtered by the dogs of ISIS, brazenly, and we raise not so much as a wimper. Do we acquiesce so timidly and with such cowardice? Where are the leaders? Has the Holy Father spoken out? I know he has said a few things, but I believe in my heart that he should do more? What about leaders other than Obama? Do they not understand the horrific slaughter we are witness to? Where are their objections to the west's inaction? What about the Rev. Welby, current Archbishop of Canterbury and head the Anglican Church? We could go on, because if the truth be known, no Christian leader has expressed the kind of vicarious outrage that seems appropriate.
It was revealed recently that an American citizen, Kayla Muellar, was held captive, repeatedly raped and tortured and then murdered by the leader of ISIS. The Guardian in London reported that, "the late American hostage Kayla Mueller was repeatedly raped by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group, US officials have said."
To be honest, this is starting to compare in the shear violence and debauchery of the events to Peart Harbor. And yet, here in these United States, the sickness of political correctness lead ESPN's leaders to pull Curt Schilling off of his job at the Little League World Series because he Tweeted something to the effect that ISIS ia comparable to the Nazi movement. The ESPN people have succumbed to the kind of mind-numb cowardice that has infected all of the western world, and they took their illness out on a man who had the courage to speak out against the terror of ISIS. ISIS is every bit as bad as the Nazi slop, and they're still warming up.
Some short-sighted folk recoil at anything Glen Beck is involved in. They will be the ones not reading Mr Beck's latest book on what the Islamic Faith stands for. The lads at ESPN may want to hold someone's hand when they open that book up. It is scary.
