AFA's Fischer Agrees With ISIS That Yazidis Are Devil Worshipers And That's Why Obama Defends Them

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

The American Taliban love, love them some terrorists.

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 today’s 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.”

1. Just another right-wing Christian group that believes family is a euphemism for fascist. n/t

2. What is wrong with this guy?

It's about time to break out the butterfly nets for this freak.

3. Jesus Christ

he's actually, no joke, taking the side of ISIS over Obama.

this reminds me of Limbaugh taking the side of the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, over Obama.

6. That was my first thought....

These guys start with "oppose Obama" and go from there.

4. Can we call them fascists now? And not invite them on to the TV?

Fox Mews will have him on tomorrow for some rehab and playing victim.

5. This is what happens when you close all the in-patient mental health facilities.

Thanks Reagan!

7. Libertarian Preacher Fischer first falls in love with Putin, then ISIS. He's pushing Sharia Law?

The right wing nuts have come full circle now.

Don't forget, this guy complained of an officer getting a medal for going and saving the lives of his fellow soldiers in Iraq.

And supported Duck Dynasty as if they were religious heroes.

His depravity is stunning and he effectively supports ISIS killing off Christians, too. He's a lethal case of Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Emphasis on Derangement.

-- I found the following chilling quotation from a New Yorker article on the ISIS terror in Iraq.

ISIS regards Yazidis as devil worshippers, and its fighters have been executing Yazidi men who won’t convert to Islam on the spot, taking away the women as jihadi brides.

These atrocities are, in effect, being endorsed by Bryan Fischer.

Injustices should be vigorously condemned, even when one does not share the religious views of the victims. The Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov condemned religious persecution in the U.S.S.R. as an "abomination." He was not a religious man himself, but was an atheist who believed in human rights for all people. Fischer has got to be one of the most repulsive media personalities I've ever seen.

9. There's a heavy competition for "most repulsive" in the RW Churches

But I agree. Fisher emerges the victor. Not only is he politically deranged, finding evil even in the Administrations straight-up humanitarian intervention against ISIL; but also religiously deranged, tacitly offering support to genocide because the people who would be killed believe differently than he.

Who is the real "devil" worshipper in this episode? The man who orders aid to prevent a genocidal assault on a minority population? The minority population, driven from their homes to a barren mountain top offering little protection and only a lingering death? Or the filthy, lying mock-Christian who inveighs against the aid and ignorantly condemns as evil all of the men, women, and children whose lives are on the edge of extinction?

10. Yes, indeed! John Hagee (ugh!) comes in at a close second!

11. "devil worshippers"

Yazadis carry on a religion that is closely akin to Zoroastrianism and is several centuries older than Christianity. The Zoroastrians in Iran were brutally oppressed under the Ayatollahs about 30 years ago. It's a reasonably unaggressive religion totally unrelated to Abraham or anything in the Bible - but that doesn't make it devil worship. Unfortunately, its adherents have no other country to flee to, where their religion has enough of a population to welcome them and help them settle.

Frankly, the US had held off a direct confrontation with ISIS because (thanks to Dubya) we had been fighting at least two separate wars on multiple fronts in the subcontinent, with the fighting still going after more than a dozen years, and there's a Very Serious question of whether our troops (and money) can be committed to combat in another war right now. We'd like to say that the US Army will defend freedom around the world but the ugly fact is that we can't do it everywhere all the time at the same time.
