Distortion of Christian history in an attempt to downplay the real threat of worldwide Islamic extremism
Now we are seeing how, on President Obama’s cue, the Left is dredging up every bad thing done by Christian Crusaders nearly 1000 years ago and done by a very small number of white racists 50 years ago and more, all things that are no longer done or allowed. Whatever the reasoning for this compulsion to make America out to be as evil as ISIS, it becomes a defense the actions of ISIS. Equating the bloodthirsty methodology of ISIS with what? With a few examples of excessive violence during battles in a war that was started to defend Christianity against centuries of Islamic conquests, that’s what. There is something very seriously wrong here with our President’s perspective on history!
And in addition to his mischaracterization of Christian history, he talks about racist violence in American history as if it was rampant and wholeheartedly endorsed by all of society. He equates the acts of violence in the United States by a very small minority of radical racists to a regime led by genocidal Islamo-terrorists whose territorial gains are built on the murder of hundreds of innocent people in each city they conquer.

Liberals say they care, but they see nothing wrong with beating people down with who their ancestors or their judgement of the history of their ancestors.
They are so full of hate.
It’s all part of “Cultural Jihad”.
White liberals feel guilty for being white. They need professional help. And leftists of all colors have no clue about what Christianity is and what it isn’t.
The reasons behind the Crusades were many and varied and certainly not always motivated to spread the Word of God or the absolute destruction of Islam (remember that Crusades were carried out against other states that were not Islamic). But, when the President accepts the Oath of Office, that person pledges mind, body, and soul to defending the People and Constitution of the United States whatever that’ person’s mind or beliefs may be.
His opinion on this matter, while in my opinion not entirely untrue (though making direct historical connections is a bit of a stretch), is potentially damaging to the general morale of the Republic and borderline seditious oratory.
Long story short - he needs to do some soul searching and figure out which side he’s on. ISIS doesn’t care either way. They want absolute power, treasure, blood, and the spread of Islam everywhere through force of arms. He needs to understand this isn’t a debate match. It’s a war.
This also isn’t the 12th century. It’s not acceptable and the American people, far removed by time, culture, and geography from such things, are not responsible for the misdeeds of the Crusader States, the medieval Papacy, or the organizations that arose during that time.
I could go on - but I’m not saying anything you all don’t already know. I’m just angry.
This goober of a President also is amazing to me, because, not unlike my ex-wife, I am consistently stunned by the ever-ramped up levels of stupidity and arrogance he will ascend/descend to.
I keep thinking “nobody could actually obtain this office and still do dumber and dumber things.”
I’m consistently proven wrong. I really didn’t care for our last President. Liked Sr., but not Jr.
Whatever W did wrong in the White House, he wasn’t a traitor. In fact, I can’t remember a President since Carter who would say such things. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Islam is violent and repressive, and its sacred texts are the heart of darkness at the center of the Islamic State's inspiration and motivation, despite Barack Obama's assertions in September 10th's address to the nation that the Islamic State "is not Islamic" and that "no religion condones the killing of innocents." Violence is an integral part of Islamic doctrine, following the example set by its Prophet Mohammed, and in the name of Islam and Allah, Muslims have been murdering innocents, since 656 AD.
Six hundred years after Mohammed, one of Islam's most respected scholars, Ibn Khuldan wrote 'Muqaddimah' (Introduction to History), which explained: "In the Muslim community, the holy war is religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or force."
Like most good Muslims, Khaldun's inspiration came from 'The Verse of the Sword', Sura 9:5, "revealed" towards the end of Mohammed's life, as well as similar themes previous to Sura 9:
Sura 9:5__ “...kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them ... But if they repent and perform As-Salat/ Iqamat-as-Salat [the Islamic ritual prayers], then leave their way free..." Also Sura 9:33__ "It is He [Allah] Who has sent His Messenger [Mohammed] with guidance and the religion of truth [Islam], to make it superior over all religions..."
Radical Islamist: 'Acceptable' to Burn Jordanian Pilot Alive Radical Islamic activist Anjem Choudary proclaimed on Thursday that the barbaric execution of a Jordanian pilot could be "acceptable behavior" under the rules of jihad.
Long before the Crusades, starting with Mohammed to the present times, the Muslims have been committing unbelievable atrocities in the name of Allah and Islam. Jesus preached love, even for our enemies; Muhammad, with his scimitar in hand, ordered to behead or to burn alive the infidels that did not convert to Islam.
“But doesn’t Islam prohibit burning people alive? To answer this question, we need to first look at Muhammad, who spoke for Allah (4:80) and is considered the standard of perfect conduct for Muslims (33:21). Muhammad had no qualms about burning people.
In December 627 Muhammad led an attack against the Al-Mustalaq tribe. Because that tribe fought back, Muhammad ordered their fortifications to be set on fire, even though the Muslims knew there were women and children inside.
Around June 628, when Kinanah bin al-Rabi of the Jewish Bani al-Nadir tribe would not reveal where his conquered tribe’s treasures were hidden, Muhammad ordered one of his soldiers, “Torture him until you extract what he has,” so a fire was built on Kinanah’s chest until Kinanah nearly died.
In June 632, after Muhammad’s death, an attack on Ubna that he had earlier ordered took place. The leader of the Muslim force said,
… the Messenger of God commanded me and this was his last command to me: …to raid them, without inviting them [to Islam], and to destroy and burn.
The Life of Muhammad: Al-Waqidi’s Kitab al-Maghazi, p. 549
And Muhammad even considered burning down Muslims’ houses around them to compel their attendance at congregational prayers:

Being Christian and white is a good thing. Other races and faiths should try it.
No thanks, but if you want to try Judaism, you can try it.
