Obama directs U.S. policy to support radical Islam

Radical Muslims in Africa's Ivory Coast are perpetrating a massacre on
Christians while the Obama administration stands by and does nothing.

Now, Ivory Coast President-elect Alassane Ouattara's largely Muslim
forces have kept Christian Laurent Gbagbo, the current president, in his
Abidjan residence under siege.

In retaliation, Gbagbo forces launched two mortars and a rocket at the
residence of the French ambassador and French helicopter gunships
responded by attacking Gbagbo forces.

In its most recent report, Human Rights Watch documented that forces
loyal to Ouattara killed hundreds of civilians and raped more than 20
alleged Gbagbo supporters as they burned at least 10 villages in the
Ivory Coast's western region.

"People interviewed by Human Rights Watch described how, in village
after village, pro-Ouattara forces, now called the Republican forces of
C�te d'Ivorie (Forces R�publicaines C�te d'Ivorie, FRCI) summarily
executed and raped Gbagbo supporters in their homes, as they worked in
the fields, as they fled, or as they tried to hide in the bush," the
report noted. "The fighters often targeted people by ethnicity, and the
attacks disproportionately affected those too old or feeble to flee."

Reports from the Ivory Coast published by the London Evening Standard
indicated that more than 200 bodies, some of them burned alive, have
been found in the country.

The newspaper reported the concern of the International Rescue Committee
that even if the military showdown in Abidjan were to end, the looting,
hostility, bloodshed, reprisal killings and sexual assaults will
continue to escalate in communities across the country.

"The silence of the Obama administration on the violence in the Ivory
Coast makes hypocritical the president's declaration in his May 28
speech on Libya that U.S. military action there was necessary to prevent
a massacre by Gadhafi that 'would have reverberated across the region
and stained the conscience of the world,'" Corsi wrote.

"The truth is that Obama, like the French and the U.N., support the
radical Muslims that have taken over the 'rebel forces' in Libya, just
as Obama, the French and the U.N. support the Muslims in the Ivory Coast
trying to remove from power the current Christian president, even if the
Muslim supporters of Ouattara engage in massacres and mass rape against
Christians.

"What the Ivory Coast situation makes clear is that the consistency in
the Obama administration's policy regarding the turmoil in North Africa
is that Obama directs U.S. policy to support radical Islam, even to the
point of being hypocritical in arguing United States policy is motivated
by a desire to protect human rights and prevent massacre in the various
ongoing conflicts in countries including the Ivory Coast and Libya."
