Outrage after Obama compares ISIS to the Crusades in comments at National Prayer Breakfast

President Barack Obama set off a firestorm Thursday morning by comparing ISIS barbarity to the Crusades.

Obama recalled the savagery carried out nearly one thousand years ago in the name of Christ while speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, in Washington, D.C., but his equivocation fell on outraged ears.

The president railed against the Islamic State, calling it "a brutal, vicious death cult" that slaughters and enslaves innocents all in the name of religion.

The Crusades did many horrible things, but primarily against the Orthodox Christians and to Europe’s Jews, but what happened then pales in comparison to ISIS.

I think it is more a case of he is sympathetic to Islam. Carter is no Moslem but is sympathetic, which makes him an even more vile person. Same goes for the pro-Islam BBC, Guardian, UK government, James Baker, the Bush family, ect....

The guy who is directing strikes against Islamic extremists TODAY is an Islamic extremist. Because of the sequence of events I have to believe that the first strikes were done without his knowledge or against his orders, then in the limo going to the press conference that day the general told him and told him he had better own it for his own political good, But once he took charge himself he was able to limit the strikes to pinprickery. Those first strikes were enough to slow ISIS in Kobane enough for the Kurds to get it together and fight back effectively but they don’t hinder ISIS a hell of a lot beyond that. If it were 100 a day rather than 12 it would be significant in effect but we still need boots on the ground, at least we need to arm,m supply, and train the Kurds and the Christians which we have not yet seen fit to do though we allow some other countries to do that a little bit or maybe our military allows it.

Hell no! It does owe an apology to the Orthodox Church. The Catholic Church pushed the Lithuanian Empire for example to make war on the small nation (at the time) of Russia simply for not being Catholic. And in the Crusades, it conspired with Venice to sack the largest Christian city.

“The guy is a lying dog, everything about him is a facade.”
I tried to warn a good friend about this fraud back before the first election. Look at him, I said, “ standing with Hillary and Richardson, while the national anthem plays and he’s grabbing his crotch”. No way says my friend. So I send him a photo. That’s not really when it was playing, Obama is too smart to do that, he says. So I send him a video with audio showing the whole event. He ignored it. I guess some people refuse to admit they’ve been suckered by this fraud.
I also told him the democrat party is incompatible with Christianity. I wonder why he doesn’t call any more?

I knew the left had a real hate on for Jews and Israel, but I am continually surprised by Obama’s misguided vile hatred for Christians. He may as well just fly over to the Middle East and piss on the bodies of dead Christians, because that is what he is doing figuratively.

The Won is not Muslim.

Muslims worship Allah, The Won worships none but himself.

He is, however, without a doubt a Muslim sympathizer.

The man is certifiably insane, and that’s no hyperbole

No. Not hyperbole at all, just Moslem.

Nobody should make any mistake. He does understand, he does get it, he does know exactly what he is doing, he does and says these things many times to spit in the face of the nation and the Constitution. He is a manipulative, narcissist, committed, fascist/socialist POS who is working very hard to make all of his goals for destruction of the country come true.

To believe that he is clueless or ill-advised or stupid, is a grave mistake.

What do you get when your president’s formative experiences and education were all Moslem, third world, and Communist and he has no experience at all in the real world of making a living?

He gets it. You don’t get it. He is Moslem and he is Communist. Those two conditions are highly compatible until they rule all then they are highly incompatible. Fortunately we are not at that point. Yet.

The Won is not Muslim

False;
He is Muslim since his father was Muslim.

The most fitting justice when it comes to Obama is for him to be out of office, visiting Yemen to give a speech when he is kidnapped by the radical islam terrorists who are not on jihad, but are committing workplace violence as they carry out koran scripted acts on him which are not religious in nature.
