Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said on Tuesday that an attack on Syria would be a bad idea if U.S. weapons were “used to kill Christians.”

In an interview with conservative radio host Mike Huckabee, Paul said that President Barack Obama needed to understand that “there are 2 million Christians living in Syria, more than just about any place in the Middle East.”

“And I just don’t want to see my kids or weapons of the United States being used to kill Christians in Syria,” he explained.

Paul called on the president to “try and convince” a joint session of Congress that action in Syria was necessary.

Doesn't he get that he is supposed to hate all religions in order to conform with his idol?
