Trump's New CIA Director: "Jesus Christ Is The Only Solution For Our World"

Dec. 19, 2016  HelloChristian

President-elect Trump has nominated his new CIA chief, Mike Pompeo. An evangelical
Christian, Pompeo is a well-respected figure in the national security community. He is
also an army veteran, and a staunch pro-life advocate.

Two years ago, Pompeo gave a Church speech where he said Muslims who think Islam
is “the only way” needed to be dealt with. “This threat to America is from people who
deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer,” Pompeo told
the church-goers, according to Press TV.

“These folks believe that it is religiously driven for them to wipe Christians from the
face of the earth,” he added. “They abhor Christians,” he said of a small minority
among Muslims.

Pompeo advised believers to “pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know
that Jesus Christ is our savior and is truly the only solution for our world.”

Following the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, Pompeo took to the House floor to
call on Muslim leaders to denounce acts of terrorism committed in the name of Islam.
“It's been just under two months since the attacks in Boston, and in those intervening
weeks, the silence of Muslim leaders has been deafening,” he said.

Failing to condemn such attacks, he asserted, makes Muslim leaders “potentially complicit”
in the attacks. "When the most devastating terrorist attacks on America in the last
20 years come overwhelmingly from people of a single faith and are performed in
the name of that faith, a special obligation falls on those that are the leaders of that
faith," he said.

Pompeo is also a shrewd businessman, starting out at Thayer Aerospace, selling it
up and moving on to Sentry International, which makes equipment for oilfields.
Pompeo has also voted to defund Planned Parenthood, calling it the “largest commercial
provider of abortions in the United States.”

Trump said in a statement that he was proud to nominate Pompeo as director of the
CIA. “He has served our country with honor and spent his life fighting for the security
of our citizens.” The president-elect continued, “He will be a brilliant and unrelenting
leader for our intelligence community to ensure the safety of Americans and our allies.”

Pompeo said he was honored by the opportunity to serve and work alongside Trump
“to keep America safe.” “I also look forward to working with America’s intelligence
warriors, who do so much to protect Americans each and every day.”
