Hawley and Moore Push for Protection of Persecuted Christians Abroad

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri and Representative Riley Moore of West Virginia are advocating for the protection of Christians facing persecution internationally. They are urging the Trump administration to make the defense of Christians a priority in its foreign policy.

The two legislators recently introduced a congressional resolution that condemns the persecution of Christians globally. The resolution specifically targets the persecution of Christians in countries with Muslim majorities. It also encourages the president to prioritize the protection of persecuted Christians in the United States' foreign policy.

The resolution cites a report indicating that hundreds of millions of Christians worldwide experience significant persecution and discrimination due to their faith. It highlights specific instances of violence, including attacks in Nigeria and Pakistan. The resolution calls for the president to utilize all available diplomatic tools, including trade and national security discussions, to protect persecuted Christians, particularly within Muslim-majority countries.

Representative Moore emphasized that stabilizing the Middle East could aid Christians. He also noted that past U.S. foreign policy decisions have contributed to the crisis. He referenced an attack at a church in Syria as a reason for introducing the resolution.

Senator Hawley stated that the United States must condemn the crimes committed against Christians worldwide, emphasizing the nation's foundation in religious liberty. He highlighted the ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria and urged his colleagues to support the resolution.

Both Moore and Hawley have publicly expressed the importance of their Christian faith. The resolution has received endorsements from various organizations.

It's important to acknowledge the severity of the attacks on Christians and to address the root causes of this discrimination.

This is a step in the right direction of a strong global US presence and influence.

Trade and national security discussions? Sounds like they'll use this to bully countries into doing what they want through economic pressure.
