Did You Know that Saudi Arabia continues to climb the charts of
faith-based hostility? In the annual report by the U.S. Commission on
International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the USCIRF admonished
President Obama to "work toward promoting religious freedom in
countries like China, Iran, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia." America, the
Commission scolds, has not prioritized religious liberty enough in
foreign policy -- fanning the flame of even wider abuses. Chief among
its complaints is that the U.S. hasn't blocked visas for religious rights
violators. Instead, thanks to the lax attitude at the State Department,
enemies of freedom continue to stream into the country, while innocent
Christians like Iraqi nun, Sister Diana Momeka, are initially and
inexplicably denied entry. "Directly related to identifying and barring
from entry severe religious freedom violators, IRFA also requires the
President to determine the specific officials responsible for violations of
religious freedom engaged in or tolerated by governments... and when
applicable and to the extent practicable, publish the names of these
officials in the Federal Register." Among other things, the report calls on
the U.S. to "train its officials, foreign service officers, and military
service members and chaplains more on international religious
liberty." The newly appointed Ambassador-At-Large for International
Religious Liberty was left vacant by the White House for almost three
years. The world can't heed the cry for freedom if its biggest defenders
are silent. All nations, USCIRF Chair Katrina Swett warned, "should
care about abuses beyond their borders, not only for humanitarian
reasons, but because what goes on in other nations rarely remains
there. In the long run, there is only one permanent guarantor of the
safety, security, and survival of the persecuted and vulnerable. It is the
full recognition of religious freedom."
