… the Religion of Peace wages war on Christianity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While we may or may not finally be learning the truth about the administration’s mishandling of the Libyan crisis last September, there are other stories out of Benghazi that the main stream media deliberately ignores as well, primarily because they involve Christian persecution. (Apparently, since the U.S. State Department removed the sections covering religious freedom from their annual Country Reports on Human Rights,* persecution no longer exists anywhere on the planet.)
Just in the last couple months we have this story ~
Torture Likely Led to Death of Egyptian Christian in Libya, Sources Say ~
[3-14-13] Repeated electrical shock torture of an Egyptian Christian accused of “proselytizing” in Libya likely exacerbated his heart ailment, leading to his death (on March 10th) in custody, according to sources close to the deceased.
Atallah was arrested without being formally charged in Benghazi on Feb. 13 as Preventative Security was rounding up expatriate Christians and accusing them of spreading Christianity to Muslims.

Egyptian Christians allege torture at hands of Libyan Islamists ~
[3-5-13] Libyan Islamists detained 48 Egyptian Christians in Benghazi last week, torturing them and using acid to burn off tattoos of the cross, according to family members.
The Christians, who are peddlers, were arrested by Islamist Salafists in Benghazi, who said they had Christian icons at their marketplace stalls, according to Mideast Christian News. The men were later reportedly freed and await deportation, but their family members back home told the Egyptian press they were abused while held, initially on charges of proselytizing.

Libya Christians fear rise of Islamic extremism ~
[2-24-13] “Not a day goes by without tombs being vandalized,” says Dalmasso Bruno, caretaker of the Italian cemetery in the Libyan capital where Christians fear rising Muslim extremism.
“Human bones have been taken out of their tomb and scattered across the cemetery” in central Tripoli, he said. “The Libyan authorities came and took pictures. They promised to take measures but nothing has been done.”
Since the 2011 fall of Moamer Qadaffi regime, the small Christian community’s fears for its safety have increased, especially after a church bombing in December killed two people in the Mediterranean town of Dafniya.
And things are really getting desperate when;
Libyan human-rights official flees country after death threats ~
[3-21-13] The head of the Libyan Parliament’s Human Rights Committee has resigned and fled to London, saying he’s received death threats. Hassan Al Amin, prominent for his long opposition to the Gaddafi regime, recently spoke out against armed gangs and militias in his Misrata area. His self-imposed exile comes as hostilities against Libya’s Christian minority, many by armed groups in the east, have increased in recent months.
Although the Obama administration is choosing to ignore it, Christian persecution across the globe has been escalating rapidly in the last few years, particularly in the Middle East, Northern Africa and parts of Asia ~
If, as Gregory Hicks (U.S. diplomat in Tripoli at the time of the annex attack) claims – the administration could have saved its diplomats’ lives (in Benghazi) if it had dispatched just one aircraft – does anyone think they’ll bother lifting a finger to help Libyan Christians?
Nope. Libya: Turns out the dictator was right
