VIDEO: Media, Obama ignoring world war against Christianity: Sen. Rand Paul

"From Boston to Zanzibar, there's a worldwide war on Christianity," Senator Rand Paul told the Values Voter Summit in Washington on October 11th. Yet, he charged, the fanatical Muslim attacks on Christians are being studiously ignored by the mainstream media and the Obama administration.

Here are some quotes, as published in The Blaze, following which we have the video of Senator Rand's address. (Running time, 19:10)

"Christians are being attacked around the world, but you won’t hear much about it on the evening news because the answer’s not convenient," Mr. Paul said. "It doesn’t fit the narrative we have been told about radical Islam. The president tries to gloss over who’s attacking and killing Christians. The media describes the killings as sectarian. But the truth is, a worldwide war on Christians is being waged by a fanatical element of Islam.

"Elsewhere in Syria, Islamic rebels have filmed beheadings of their captives," the Republican senator from Kentucky continued. "They’ve filmed themselves eating the heart of their enemy. Two Christian bishops have been kidnapped, and one priest was recently killed. These rebels are allies of the Islamic rebels that President Obama is now arming. We are now arming Islamic rebels who are allied with Al Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11. Does that make any sense at all?"

"American tax dollars should never be spent to prop up a war on Christianity," he continued. "But that’s what’s happening now across the globe. As Christians, we should take a stand and fight against any of your tax dollars funding any persecution of Christians."

Sen. Paul cited a Pew Research poll that found 21% of Egyptians, 15% of Jordanians, and 13% percent of Pakistani Muslims find terrorism acceptable. And he mentioned a Daily Telegraph survey which found that over 100,000 Muslims in Britain supported the London subway bombings.

"It’s a minority to be sure," he said, "but if you add up the numbers in just three countries...over 40 million Muslims sympathize with violence against Christians.... Radical Islam will end only when Islam begins to police itself. Only then will knowledge [and] enlightenment begin to glow and grow [and] religious violence will recede."
