Churches' Leader in Plea to USA over Attack on Syria

THIS IS SOUTH WALES: A WELSH Christian leader has called on politicians in America to follow their peers in Parliament and steer clear of military intervention in Syria.

The Reverend Ron Williams, president of the Union of Welsh Independent Churches, said he felt "sanity prevailed" in the House of Commons when MPs defeated a Government motion for the principle of military action .

Mr Williams urged all diplomatic measures to bring about a ceasefire.

On Sunday, US Secretary of State John Kerry said America had evidence the nerve agent sarin has been used by the Syrian regime. President Barack Obama is seeking authorisation from Congress for a military strike.

"I sincerely hope that the USA will also step back from the brink and recognise that an attack on Syria could have devastating consequences throughout the Middle East — or even globally," said Mr Williams. » | Richard Youle | Tuesday, September 03, 2013

White House Spokesman Jokes about Islamic Attacks on Christian Churches in Egypt

THE DAILY CALLER: The White House’s deputy press secretary today downplayed Muslim attacks on Christians in Egypt, joking about the savagery that has left at least six Christians dead.

Press secretary Josh Earnest was asked by Fox News’ correspondent, Ed Henry, if President Barack Obama has a “red line” beyond which he would act against Muslim attacks on Egyptian Christians.

“Well, I didn’t bring my red pen out with me today,” Earnest joked.

After making his joke, Earnest said the administration is “outraged… and concerned” about the Muslim attacks on almost 100 churches, monasteries, orphanages and other marked Christian sites. Many Christians’ shops and homes have also been looted and burned by mobs.

But Earnest didn’t name or criticize the attackers, even though he did charge the military with perpetrating “violence… against peaceful protestors.” (+ video) » | Neil Munro | White House Correspondent | Wednesday, August 21, 2013
