Thursday on the Fox News Channel, network contributor retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters reacted to Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledgment that ISIS is indeed committing genocide against other sects of Islam and other religions.

Peters said the reluctance up until now exposed how the Obama administration as a whole views Islam and Christianity.

“This administration still romanticizes Islam,” he said. “It still finds Christians somehow distasteful. It’s almost as if the administration feels Christians have no real right to be in the Middle East. And Christians were there a long time before Muslims were – six centuries.”

“I just believe it’s time for action,” he added. “I think this is something worth fighting for, but obviously the administration doesn’t.”
