State Dept Responds to ISIS Kidnapping of Christians by Saying Real Victims are Muslims

Obama Inc. is starting to remind me of a corporation whose products kill people that makes it a point to embed a talking point about how safe its products are in its every statement.
Christians kidnapped by ISIS? Remind everyone that the real victims are Muslims.
The United States demanded Tuesday that Islamic State militants release a group of more than 90 Assyrian Christians they kidnapped during raids in northeastern Syria.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki condemned the attacks and said the militants must release all civilians they are currently holding.
“ISIL’s latest targeting of a religious minority is only further testament to its brutal and inhumane treatment of all those who disagree with its divisive goals and toxic beliefs,” she said, using an acronym for the group. “ISIL continues to exact its evil upon innocents of all faiths, and the majority of its victims have been Muslims.”
ISIS exacts its evil on people it doesn’t believe are Muslims. That includes other Muslims, such as Shiites, and rivals who refuse to recognize its Caliph. This doesn’t mean that the real victims are Muslims or that ISIS kills without regard to religion.
Most of the victims of gangs are other gang members. This doesn’t mean that gang members are the real victims. Communists also killed a lot of Communists and Nazis killed a lot of Nazis. Violent ideologies and gangs tend to shed a lot of their own blood.
