In the wake of the recent Easter Sunday attacks on Sri Lanka churches, hotels, as well as a housing complex, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, as well as other Democrats, have been called "anti-Christian."
This criticism came after they tweeted messages on social media, referring to the 300 Sri Lankan victims as "Easter worshippers," seeming as if they could not bring themselves to use the term "Christians."
Obama posted his message on Twitter, referring to the onslaught which occurred in the island country formerly known as Ceylon. He denounced the Sri Lanka strikes, saying they were an "attack on humanity," referring to the victims as "tourists and Easter worshippers.
In and of itself, his message had been taken as just the usual Obama approach, until a weird trend began to be seen in Twitter messages among other Democrats, including Clinton and Julian Castro, Jared Polis, and Ami Bera, where the same term, "Easter worshippers," was preferentially used in their messages for the Sri Lanka victims.
Clinton called for unity "against hatred and violence" and prayed for the "Easter worshippers and travelers."
Twitter user Caleb Hull, a volunteer faculty at the Leadership Institute, quickly caught on and tweeted that it was not "hard" to use the word "Christians" instead of "Easter worshippers." Another Twitter user, who is a National Review Institute writer, suggested it "wouldn't hurt" to say "Christians" instead while Breitbart called the act a "sympathy snub."
A news outlet reacted to the display as a "political calculation" and asked to have the incident referred to for what it is---"Christians" being targeted in Sri Lanka, an "attack on Christians" and on "Christianity."
The root of the matter was offered in an explanation that the terms "Christians" and "churches" will never be used by those of the same political affiliation as the abovementioned perpetrators of the term "Easter worshippers."
The left fundamentally does not allow the acknowledgement of "anti-Christian murders" committed by "Muslims" whether in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, including their acts of sacrilege and defilement of "churches" in the same places and elsewhere.
Basically, as was explained at length, the "left's rule" dictates that "nothing bad" be mentioned regarding "Muslims or Islam" while "nothing good" may be told of "Christians or Christianity" regardless of whether it is the truth.
The right-wing decried the substitution of the term and expressed their outrage, with Fox Network television host Laura Ingraham also taking to social media to clarify "Christians" do not "worship Easter."
The former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich did not mince words, asking in his tweet how it could happen that both Obama and Clinton "come up" with tweets on "Easter worshippers," referring to their use of the exact same term on the "same day" as "strange."
Gingrich went on to call them out as "pathetic" in their "new way" of sidestepping the use of the word "Christian."
Fox News' political commentator, Jesse Watters, called the phrase "made up," asking why "liberals" are wont to "make up" such "phrases." The "Watter's World" interviewer went on to brand the "liberals" as "not being in touch" with the real world, saying "they" pander to "Muslims."
The again, another commenter on social media pointed out that he was a "Christian" as well as a "Republican" but he believed that "much ado" is being said on "nothing." He defended Obama and Clinton as merely saying that the Sri Lanka victims were "worshipping on Easter." He went on to declare that "this is nothing!"
Still another pointed out the assumption being implied that no "Democrat" is a "Christian," explaining that he or she knew "lots of Democrats" who were "wonderful Christians" like him (or her) who went to his/her same Catholic church.
