Obama Now Lying About Fictitious Muslim Victims of the New Years Attack on Christian Church
What is wrong with this man? Is his worldview so dependent on believing that Muslims are a victim class that he simply cannot help but create Muslim victims in an attack on Christians?
Yesterday morning at a midnight mass celebrating the new year, a car bomb exploded outside a Coptic Christian church in Egypt. There were 21 fatalities and 79 injured. All of the dead and all but 8 of the injured were Christian worshipers at the church. Al Qaeda is suspected and the attack is similar to others that have occurred against Christian churches in Iraq.
Inexplicably, the President issued a statement inventing "dozens" of Muslim victims:
The attack on a church in Alexandria, Egypt caused 21 reported deaths and dozens of injured from both the Christian and Muslim communities.
A few weeks ago I was struck by how far off liberals, and the President in particular, have drifted from reality when it comes to the victimhood of the Muslim community. Remember back during the Ground Zero Mosque fight the daily reports of violence, vandalism, and vitriol against Muslims in America? If you only knew what you heard from the liberal media, you'd probably be justified in believing that Muslims were living under siege in this country. The Muslim victimhood meme would make sense to you.
But the truth is that Muslims in this country are far less likely to be targeted because of their religion than are, for example, Jews. By an order of magnitude. In 2009, there were roughly two and a half bias crimes against Jews per day. No wonder the President has to make up crimes against Muslims both here and abroad. How will he convince libtards that Muslims deserve special treatment if they're not a major victim class?
