Obama
did not give other reasons for his non-show at the Olympic games, but

Reuben Abati Anti Pres. Jonathan: How Jonathan Got His GCFR #MUSTREAD

Senator McCain mixes with Nazis?
Russian Jewish organizations in the US are indignant about the conduct of Senator John McCain. The support which he offered to a Ukrainian opposition leader, Oleg Tyagnibok, has served as a reason for their criticism. The point is that the Ukrainian opposition leader is well known for his nationalist, to be more exact, anti-Semitic views.
In
both Ukraine and abroad he has gained renown for his politically
incorrect statements. Admiring the fighters of the Ukrainian Insurgent
Army (UPA), he said that they had fought against the "moskali"
(Russians), the Germans, the Yids, and other scum of the earth. In many
countries the use of such words by a politician would mean the end of
his (her) career, and he (she) would be jailed. However, as it appears,
John McCain found nothing insulting in these words.
Syria: The end of Christian civilization?
The ousting of Christians from the countries of the Middle East is a sore spot of the modern world. Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria are in the midst of a civil war – these are only some of the countries where Christian civilization is currently being destroyed. Experts contemplate the issue of who benefits from this and whether Christianity has a chance to survive in the Middle East.
The
Syrian city of Homs, the third in the country in terms of population,
has almost completely lost its Christian population. Thousands have been

Damascus, Aleppo, Hama, Latakia and other cities. It is a real religious
war, which is being carefully ignored by the world community, thinks Eugeniy Satanovsky, president of the Institute of Middle East:

Homosexuality is properly rooted in the core of Nigerian culture And identity - Bisi Alimi
Even though Nigeria has recently seen a more active conversation around the issue of sexuality and gender, these conversations are played out on the premise of sentiments, morality, religion and assumptions rather than on facts. But it is facts and not assumption that can put things into perspective.
The argument against homosexuality in Nigeria has been on the premise that it is “un-African” and hence not part of our culture. The other premise used is that since it is not part of our culture, therefore it is “un-biblical”.
