OBAMA REMOVES RELIGIOUS FREEDOM SECTION FROM ITS HUMAN RIGHTS REPORTS

From http://cnsnews.com/news/article/state-department-purges-religious-freedom-section-its-human-rights-reports State Department Purges Religious Freedom Section from Its Human Rights Reports By Pete Winn June 7, 2012 (CNSNews.com) - The U.S. State Department removed the sections covering religious freedom from the Country Reports on Human Rights that it released on May 24, three months past the statutory deadline Congress set for the release of these reports. The new human rights reports--purged of the sections that discuss the status of religious freedom in each of the countries covered--are also the human rights reports that include the period that covered the Arab Spring and its aftermath. Thus, the reports do not provide in-depth coverage of what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East that saw the rise of revolutionary movements in 2011 in which Islamist forces played an instrumental role. 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. Commentary: In other words, Obama is looking the other way and covering for the Muslims who have been oppressing non-muslims after the take over a country.
