Secretary of State John Kerry risks "being a genocide denier" if he fails to meet a Thursday deadline imposed by Congress to condemn the mass killings of Christians and other religious minorities by the Islamic State as genocide, author Johnnie Moore told
Newsmax TV on Wednesday.
Kerry could end up being "one of the few people in history that will go down as genocide deniers in the face of such an overt atrocity," Moore, who also is an educator and humanitarian, told "Newsmax Prime" hosts J.D. Hayworth and Miranda Khan. "People ought to be just totally, totally enraged and in awe of the audacity — despite all of these facts, all of these atrocities.
"Yet the State Department can't make up its mind," he said. "It's ridiculous."

Moore said that not even Mother Teresa would be safe in the Middle East now in light of ISIS terrorists slaying four nuns belonging to her Catholic order earlier this month in Yemen.
They were members of the Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa died in 1997.
"Jihadists showed up at this home for the elderly," Moore told Newsmax. "They killed 16 people, four of them nuns.
"These are nuns that they did this to — and we've become so accustomed to these atrocities that it has hardly gotten any attention anywhere in the world.
"I believe we're now living in a world where Mother Teresa herself would have to fear for her life," he said. "These kinds of severe persecution, they don't happen overnight."
