American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer is outraged that the U.S. is intervening in Iraq to stop ISIS, who has been attacking Christians and other Muslims throughout the country.
Fischer believes that President Obama only intervened to stop the extermination of the Yazidis, who practice an ancient religion yet are considered by ISIS fighters and others to be devil worshipers. He began todays edition of Focal Point by railing against Obama, saying the president only decided to launch airstrikes in Iraq in order to defend devil worshipers.
They go after devil worshipers and all of the sudden the entire weight of the United States government is sent in there to relieve them and to avenge them, he said. Those are the Yazidis. Fischer added: President Obama will fight for Satan worshipers but he will not fight for Christians.
In a rare point of theological accord, both Muslims and Christians agree that the archangel revered by the Yazidis is in fact the Prince of Darkness, he writes in his column today. The New Testament describes him this way, Satan (who) disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14), eager to deceive the gullible into believing that he is good rather than evil. The Yazidis have fallen for his lies.

Fischer is another one who needs to be publicly SHAMED
i.e. someone needs to arrange a way to expose him and shame him so the whole country can see
