State Department Scrubs Arab Spring Atrocities From Religious Freedom Report

The Obama administration’s contempt for Christians extends beyond our borders. The State Department is required to provide a yearly country by country report on religious freedom. But that won’t happen for the year 2011, because this administration backed the Arab Spring. Muslims are persecuting Christians, and that hits too close to home. CNSNews reported the following:

For the first time ever, the State Department simply eliminated the section of religious freedom in its reports covering 2011 and instead referred the public to the 2010 International Religious Freedom Report – a full two years behind the times – or to the annual report of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), which was released last September and covers events in 2010 but not 2011.

Leonard Leo, who recently completed a term as chairman of the USCIRF, says that removing the sections on religious freedom from the State Department's Country Reports on Human Roghts is a bad idea.

Since 1998, when Congress created USCIRF, the State Department has been required to issue a separate yearly report specifically on International Religious Freedom.

But a section reporting on religious freedom has also always been included in the State Department's legally required annual country-by-country reports on human rights--that is, until now.

And this is the first year the State Department would have needed to report on the effect the Arab Spring has had on religious freedom in the Middle East--had its reports, as always before, included a section on religious freedom.

It has been widely reported that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated all levels of our federal government. The actions of the State Department give credence to those accusations.
