PROGRESSIVE AGENDAS THAT ENDANGER MINORITIES

ENDANGERING  MINORITIES


State Ambassador warned of backlashes

“Now they have unleashed cultural terrorism on us.”

Senior State Department Deputy Ambassador Richard Hoagland warned his audience at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in 2014 about the cost of aggressively pushing the LGBT agenda.

“There are times and places where I believe we need to temper our idealism with at least a certain degree of realpolitik.”

“...We should never forget the terribly important maxim, ‘First do no harm."... “There are countries in the world, whether religiously or culturally deeply conservative, that will react to our goals with backlash against their own LGBT citizens.”

“We should maintain enough humility to remember that we are terribly new at promoting LGBT human rights as U.S. foreign policy...."

FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE

Shortly after the assassinations of Pakistani Governor, Taseer and Minority Minister Bahti and the killing of Osama bin Laden  in June of 2011, the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, held its first-ever LGBT “Pride Celebration.” One of many US sponsored GLIFFA events held across the middle east during the Obama administration.

Hoagland, a homosexual, and then the number two diplomat at the mission, co-hosted the USAID, and GILFAA event,(Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies.)

A week later, anti-U.S. Protestors in Pakistan described the event as an act of "Cultural Terrorism."


DIVIDING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY

Obama's State Department, then headed by Hillary Clinton, made LGBT rights America's top priority in global foreign affairs, as we co-sponsored the first-ever resolution adopted by the U.N. on the human rights of LGBT people. During her U.N. Geneva speech in December 2011, she alluded to what would be coming next, stating:

"Because Governments impose Laws, and Laws have a teaching effect, religious beliefs and cultural values do not justify the failure of governments to promote, (through teaching laws), the full rights of LGBT people.

Although the U.S. sponsored  measure was passed by 23-19 votes in the U.N., it split the council between Western and Latin American countries on one side and Muslim and African members on the other.


REMOVING ALL SANCTUARY

According to a Pew study, Christians face religious persecution in more countries than any other religious group as Christians often experience retaliation, serving as stand-ins for western power and values.

For more than a decade, extremists have targeted Christians and other minorities, ...This was especially true in Iraq after the U.S. invasion, which caused hundreds of thousands to flee. ‘‘Since 2003, we’ve lost priests, bishops and more than 60 churches were bombed,’’ Bashar Warda, the Chaldean Catholic archbishop of Erbil, said. With the fall of Saddam Hussein, Christians began to leave Iraq in large numbers, and the population shrank to less than 500,000 today from as many as 1.5 million in 2003.

The Arab Spring only made things worse. As dictators like Mubarak in Egypt and Qaddafi in Libya were toppled, their longstanding protection of minorities also ended. Now, ISIS is looking to eradicate Christians and other minorities altogether. ...Recently, ISIS posted videos delineating the second-class status of Christians in the caliphate. Those unwilling to pay the jizya tax or to convert would be destroyed, the narrator warned, as the videos culminated in the now-­infamous scenes of Egyptian and Ethiopian Christians in Libya being marched onto the beach and beheaded, their blood running into the surf.

The future of Christianity in the region of its birth is now uncertain. ‘‘How much longer can we flee before we and other minorities become a story in a history book?’’ says Nuri Kino, a journalist and founder of the advocacy group Demand for Action.......
