U.S. places Pakistan on watch list for religious freedom violations

19

President Trump here has reversed a great wrong. Back in 2012, Barack Obama removed the sections covering religious freedom from the State Department’s Country Reports on Human Rights. It is clear now why he did it: he wanted to coddle and give aid to Islamic regimes that brutally oppressed and persecuted their non-Muslim populations, without having to deal with blowback based on real data documenting that persecution.

But President Trump has put a stop to all that, and for that, he deserves the gratitude of the oppressed, and of all free people.

“U.S. places Pakistan on watch list for religious freedom violations,” Reuters, January 4, 2018:

WASHINGTON, Jan 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department has placed Pakistan on a special watch list for “severe violations of religious freedom,” it said on Thursday, days after the White House said Islamabad would have to do more to combat terrorism to receive U.S. aid.

The State Department also said it had re-designated 10 other nations as “countries of particular concern” under the International Religious Freedom Act for having engaged in or tolerated egregious violations of religious freedom.

The re-designated countries were China, Eritrea, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. They were re-designated on Dec. 22.

“The protection of religious freedom is vital to peace, stability, and prosperity,” the department said in a statement. “These designations are aimed at improving the respect for religious freedom in these countries.”…

President Lincoln liberated slaves in America, President Trump is liberating Christians world wide. America will become Greater, thanks to having a decent president.

Hilarious, only Pakistain out of all the US islamic “ally” states is singled out — as if SOddy Barbaria, Egyptistan or the Paleswine Authority are any better. Soddy Barbaria is either the number one or number two sponsor of world-wide islamic terrorism.

Funny how Myanmar is singled out by the corrupt apparatchiks of the US federal government — they can’t have any of the free peoples of the world resisting islamic colonialism/imperialism now can they? I’d rather see my tax dollars going to support Myanmar and/or Israel than the corrupt:
i. State Dept,
ii. F_I-B
or any muslum state.

Take Burma off that list.

ANY country trying to maintain it’s freedoms , culture and identity against Jihad waged by muslims has a right to self determination in any way applicable in view of their circumstances.

The US federal government is rotten and corrupt to the core. For them to equate Burma/Myanmar to the cesspool muslum states of the world just goes to prove the point of what religious ideology they’ve been corrupted by.

Whilst Burma is persecuting Christians it needs to stay on the list. The issue with Islam is a separate one.

This Obama president really wanted to destroy USA and western values. 2 years ago when I went to US, I remember saying Obama was the best president ever and Hilary will continue then I’ve tried to understand why she lost election and my friends, I’ve discovered Pamela Geller, dreuz info, etc, . Today I am an islamophobic, bigot and I’m back to Belgium and talking how bad our media are and how brain washed we are in Europe. Yes, America is not perfect but it improves and grow. I just tell everybody that Obama-Hilary are the worst president ever, people stop listening since their arguments are falling apart and they ban me. I would like to live in US and my next job opportunity will help me to do so. I cannot see a Muslim anymore and when they say they are Muslim, I just say I’m a Nazi to see their reaction to tell them that saying they are Muslim is the same if they were saying they are Nazi… end of discussion.
Europe is gone and Belgium even if they still try to keep the state will follow the French and German to their destruction. So future for me is US with my family because their at least I will carry a gun and I will be able to defend myself compared with Europe where I expect to be slaughtered. Thank you Pamela and Dreuz info to help us to breath.
And of course, thank you Mr President Trump and I wish you the best with MAGA.

Never before have so many owed so much to one man — President Donald Trump — and shown nothing but ingratitude.
Shame on every one of you obama dupes and American traitors.

Thank GOD. Though it is also worthwhile to wonder why it WASN’T on that list before.

Under Obama, Hillary was dumping billions of unaccounted cash payments (for the purpose of laundering) to prop up a Pakistan that is in the thick of terrorism and a world wide drug trade, but barely reported about.

Pakistan is quite valuable to the left because that’s where the Heroin trade originates.

The DNC would not be able to finance a tenth of all their illegal activities were it not for this flourishing drug / money laundering operation.

The Christian population is also much opposed to this. Give Christians more political power, drug trade becomes more difficult.

U.S. places Pakistan on watch list for religious freedom violations

Perhaps the US should pay more attention stateside and watch our CONGRESS instead.
Perhaps the US should pay more attention stateside and watch our schools instead.
Our schools have a ton of anti-American Marxist, Islamist, and overt Communists brain washing our / your kids from K THRU College every day. And in the end graduate tens of thousands of semi illiterate dindos, and outher useful IDIOTS.

There’s no religion other than Islam in Pakistan. India had to give up land to them, to prevent further blood shed.

India didn’t give up land to Pakistan. British East India was partitioned that way in a 5-way partition (2 parts of India separated by West Bengal, West Bengal, East Bengal, and Pakistan…West Bengal joined India by 1950 and East Bengal is now Bangladesh after it was East Pakistan).

Yes, the British gave up Indian land to appease Islam in an attempt to prevent further bloodshed. Appeasement didn’t stop it in ’48 or anytime since.
