Family Research Council: Obama Administration Demonstrates Further Hostility Towards Christianity by Opposing FDR Prayer at WWII Memorial

Barack Hussein Obama walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and even balks like a duck.  And all this while claiming to be a dove.  He may not look like your typical duck, but he’s certainly not a dove, either …

By Todd Starnes – “Republican lawmakers and conservative activists are expressing outrage after the Obama administration announced its objection to adding President Franklin Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The objection was noted during a congressional hearing on Rep. Bill Johnson’s, R-Ohio, bill — the ‘World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011.’

‘It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,’ Johnson said. ‘President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.’

Roosevelt asked the nation to join him in prayer as U.S. and allied troops launched the invasion that led to the defeat of Nazi Germany. He asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, ‘With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.’ …

Johnson told Fox News that the administration’s objection should ‘give all Americans a great deal of concern.’…

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council said it’s not all that surprising.

‘This is further evidence that the administration has created an environment that is hostile towards American history — but in particular towards Christianity,’ Perkins told Fox News. ‘I hope America wakes up and realizes what this administration is doing to this country and how they want to radically and fundamentally change America.'” Read more.

And that,’ according to al Nashra, ‘heeding a request by the higher leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, who consider that US Administration must support the Islamist Sunni current facing the Iranian current in the region.’” Read more.

Flashback: Obama’s Christian Problem – White House Overlooks Christian Persecution While Pandering to Islam – “The United States has been wary to intervene in matters affecting Christians in the Middle East for fear of validating terrorist narratives that the West is engaged in a new crusade against Islam. The result of this passive policy has been to allow Islamic extremists increasingly to dominate the debate, often with tragic consequences… According to the State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report, the last Christian church in Afghanistan has been destroyed. The 500 to 8,000 Afghan Christians who wish to worship publicly can attend services at military bases, Provincial Reconstruction Team facilities and the Italian embassy, but there are obvious risks involved.” Read more.
