If you didn't watch Fox News, you might not even know that Obama dissed Christianity. You might not know that Obama hitched up his holier than thou pants and launched into a sermon chock full of the moral equivalence between the Islam of today versus the Christianity of centuries past.
You wouldn't know.

You wouldn't have learned this from ABC, CBS and certainly not from Brian Williams as none of them covered the story.
Unfortunately, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored the President’s critique of Christianity during the Thursday evening newscasts with only ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir even mentioning that the event took place earlier in the day. ... Over on ABC, anchor David Muir spent 11 seconds hyping “a ground-breaking moment” that took place at the breakfast in the form of Obama and the Dalai Lama appearing in public for the first time. Muir also reported that Obama referred to him there as “a good friend.”
Politico didn't have a story on it. Neither did the Hill. The same media that drools over every Palin family mishap refused to cover Obama comparing Christianity to Islamic extremism.
So how did the Obama sycophants in the media handle the issue? They savaged Obama's critics. Check out the titles:
CNN: Obama takes fire for Crusades comparison
The NY Slimes: Critics Seize On Obama’s ISIS Remarks at Prayer Breakfast
The entire article is garbage.

Zer0 is NOT a Koranic Scholar nor a history buff, much less a Constitutional Scholar.
Funny how he mentions that supposed Christians were behind Jim Crow laws but doesn’t mention GENUINE Democrats were behind Jim Crow laws.
Unreal.
Would love to see Obama asked if he believes in the divinity and Resurrection of Jesus Christ or how he defines a “Christian”.
This historical treasure is one which should be prominent in our national discussions, especially now, when our philosophical foundations are being challenged, and when the views of a learned man like Dr. Arnett might shed light on centuries-old ideas about America's history. His theme: Righteousness Exalteth a Nation, but Sin is a Reproach to any People."
"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876Dr. Arnett, an A.M.E. Minister and Ohio State Legislator, was invited to publish this remarkable sermon commemorating the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence by the following method:
To:
Rev. B. W. ARNETT, B. D.
Dear Pastor:
Will you please prepare your “Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon” for publication: together with whatever matter pertaining to the colored people of this city, you deem worth preserving.
We make this request of you, believing that the publication of such matter, will be of benefit to the present and succeeding generations.
Yours Respectfully,
J GAITER

Urbana, O.
December 7th, 1876
J GAITER, J. DEMPCY, C. L, GANT
Trustees W. A. STILGASS, W. O. BOWLES
Yours is at hand, requesting me to prepare my "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" for publication. If you think that my words will be of any advantage to you, and those whom you have the honor of representing, I am willing to leave it to your judgement and will prepare my feeble effort for the press: hoping that, if there is nothing new in it, at least I may awaken some one to follow "the Moccasin tracks of Righteousness, and the Foot Prints of sin on the sands of time," and be better prepared for the duties they owe to themselves, their families, their country, and their God.
I am, yours,
BENJAMIN W. ARNETT

At another point in his long "Thanksgiving Sermon," Dr. Arnett made the following assertion about America and "wherein lies its greatness":
"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876
Its. not the News Reports, it’s who decides what News to Report.
Old Nazi’s never die, they just become Democrats.
What about that “church and state” thing ?
At some point, people have to start talking about what Obama really is. He is the enemy of America. He is never going to turn on his fellow Muslims. He is never going to do anything which favors America over any group that would harm America. What he has done for the last 6 years, is to pretend that he is going after the enemy, while allowing them to grow everywhere. It’s about doing the minimum, while hoping that Muslims everywhere get the upper hand. Islamic terrorism has grown everywhere, and has gotten a lot more dangerous. A president who sees moral equivalence between what the Islamic terrorist have done, and what America stands for, is the enemy within and at the highest level possible.
Fact is that, Obama should be getting brought up on charges of aiding and abetting the enemy. Out enemies know that the have a friend at the highest level of our government, and that’s why they know they can get away with anything, no matter how evil their deeds.
Obama’s faith....
Allah’s Apostle said, “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).” [(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 8, number 224)]
D’ya think it’s because he accidentally outed himself AGAIN with the ‘our religion’ statement?
Funny—The Republicans in Congress appear to have overlooked his statements as well.
Should their silence be interpreted as agreement?
You might not know that Obama hitched up his holier than thou pants and launched into a sermon chock full of the moral equivalence between the Islam of today versus the Christianity of centuries past.
He didn’t even do that. He compared islam with a DISTORTION of Christianity of centuries ago.
As an historical aside, Adolf Hitler also dissed Christianity, which he considered to be no more than a further perversion of the Jewish faith, already itself a pox upon the human race.
So the Current Occupant is tying himself to some pretty bad company, I would say.
And Hitler was something of an admirer of Islam. Islam, of course, returns the affection, as the Arabic and Farsi translations of “Mein Kampf” are widely available and well read throughout the Middle East.
Odumba$$ disses the Prince of Peace and reveals his own preference for the worship of a pedophile.
No news here. Obama is still a stupid basrard and the msm still have their lips glued to his non kosher ass.
The idiot. The Crusades, for all their problems, were a reaction against Muslim aggression. The Muslims started these attacks, and yet he is trying to make them look like the victims. Disgusting.
Odd. Obola is left-handed ... (and he left out his brains as well)
and ... (Oboala ‘s Muslimic upbringing considers the”left hand” as dirty or unclean beause it used by Muslims to wipe excrement after shiiting in the desert)
so ... WHY is Obola raising his “left” hand in a “blessing” from the “pulpit during the Christian prayer breakfast he is leading?
Very interesting quote. I have heard similar ones but not that one. I have read that the character described in the Hadith as taking a stand at the end of days against the Mahdi bears a striking resemblance to the Biblical description of the Messiah returning. I have also read that the Islamic descriptions of the Mahdi bear very similar characteristics to the Anti-Christ. I find it very interesting. It would explain why when the Lord returns in power they still continue to fight him as described in Revelation and elsewhere.
