Another stunning rebuke to Barack Obama: Armenian American groups
have for decades sought Congressional recognition as genocide of the
murder of just under two million Armenian Christians by the Islamic
Ottoman Empire. Last week, they cleared an important hurdle in getting
this recognition: the House Foreign Affairs Committee, over Obama’s
opposition, approved a resolution calling the Turkish mass murder of
the Armenians a genocide.

The Islamic supremacists haven’t infiltrated as deeply as they
thought. As long as Turkey was secular, we pretended it wasn’t
genocide. And now Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who
once said that "there is no moderate or immoderate Islam, Islam is
Islam and that’s it," is taking on the secular military in Turkey.

Traditionally, the secular army kept Turkey a "moderate" secular
Muslim country, but with the election of the devout Muslim Erdogan,
Turkish secularism is on the ropes. And now that Turkey is returning
to the dark side, we don’t have to lie for jihadis anymore.

The Turks were furious over the Foreign Affairs Committee vote,
and withdrew their ambassador to the U.S. Turkish President Abdullah
Gul issued a veiled threat: "Turkey will not be responsible for the
negative results that this event may lead to."

Turkey threatens…what? Another genocide?

This should be interesting. Obviously the Muslim world thinks it
can bully the U.S. President. Let’s watch and see if Obama heeds the
decent and humane call from the American people, or heeds Islam.

Unfortunately, the answer is already clear. The committee’s vote is
difficult for the Islamophilic Obama. He campaigned on the promise that
he would officially recognize the Turkish mass murders of Armenians as
a genocide. As with so many of his other promises, Obama lied and has
backtracked since he became President, as Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton admitted Thursday: "Circumstances have changed in very
significant ways," she said. And she said that the Obama Administration
would oppose the resolution as it goes to Congress:

We do not believe that the full Congress will or should act upon that
resolution and we have made that clear to all the parties involved.

Change you can’t believe in.

And my, isn’t Turkey very thin-skinned and sensitive, considering
its propensity for genocide? The Turks should be busying themselves
apologizing and making amends, as Germany did after World War II. But
no. Instead the non-Muslim world is still stepping and fetching and
covering up for over a millennium of jihad wars, land expropriations,
enslavements, and humiliations of the conquered non-Muslim populations
on three continents — and genocide.

Abdullah Gul also said:

We are determined to normalise Turkish-Armenian ties but we are
against this being secured through the intervention of third parties
and through pressure.

This is rich. How can you normalize relations when you mass murdered
close to two million of the Armenian people and won’t admit it, or
express regret and apologize? It was a genocide, and the covering up
of Islamic genocides must end.

Let us not forget the other Christian minorities who were massacred
in the same way and for the same reason. Approximately 250,000
Assyrian-Chaldeans were massacred, as well as 250,000 Greeks.

Countless others were forced to convert to Islam, especially young
girls. Another thing we should remember about this period is that
Greece itself was occupied by the Ottoman empire for centuries,
as well as Bulgaria and so on, and the non-Muslim populations in all
those countries were terrorized for centuries. These nations were only
freed because of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman empire.

This is a history we must not forget.

Above all, we must not forget that the Nazis were inspired by the
Armenian genocide.

The Turks used primitive gas chambers and developed other murderous
templates that were later adopted by the Nazis. Hitler was inspired
by the Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, who was an officer
of the Ottoman empire who participated in the Armenian genocide,
and who during World War II met with Hitler and frequently with
high Nazi officials. During the Nuremberg Trials in July 1946, Adolf
Eichmann’s assistant, Dieter Wisliczeny, testified that Mufti was a
central figure in the planning of the genocide of the Jews:

The Grand Mufti has repeatedly suggested to the Nazi authorities –
including Hitler, von Ribbentrop and Himmler – the extermination
of European Jewry. … The Mufti was one of the initiators of the
systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator
and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan… He
was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited him to
accelerate the extermination measures.

Covering for Islam’s acts of genocide encourages more Islamic
genocide. Think Sudan. Congress should recognize the Armenian
genocide for what it was, and call on the Turks to stop covering up
and take responsibility for what they did. Barack Obama should do
the same thing.

And the media should finally tell the truth.
