Earthquake and Tsunami Victims: Christians Left Out

Earthquakes and Tsunamis have struck the South Pacific, killing hundreds, and injuring thousands more in Sumatra and Samoa. However, as aid pours in, the withholding of aid to minority religious groups in tragedy town regions is not being reported by the media.

Christian Freedom International president Jim Jacobson is urging the government of Indonesia to assist ALL the victims of the recent earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation in the world. Indonesia has a track record of withholding aid from minority Christians after natural disasters, and during the aftermath of these recent quakes and tsunami the practice has not changed. Even when aid pours in from predominently Judeo-Christian nations, Muslim leaders give that aid to "their own" and let the rest fend for themselves in a gross miscarriage of justice and blatant double standard.

Christian Freedom International has come to the aid of thousands of Christians because they were denied help from their own government, under the threat of arrest, and worse.

Jim Jacobson, president of Christian Freedom International, joins the Political Pistachio Radio Revolution tonight to discuss this, during the first hour of the program.

Then, during the second hour, retired United States Marine Richard Botkin, joins the program to discuss his book, "Ride the Thunder," and the parallels between Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Join us live tonight at 7pm Pacific, or 10pm Eastern, or on archive, at BlogTalkRadio.com/PoliticalPistachio.
