Obama says our problem is the Crusades.
Not Islamic terrorists who demolish churches today.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region Islamic State (ISIS) militants blew up a Catholic church in the al-Arabi district of Mosul on Friday, a Pastor told Rudaw.
Members of the extremist organization (ISIS) cleared the Church of Virgin Mary of its contents in al-Arabi area, north of Mosul and blew it up after few hours, said Pastor Behnam Raad.
Local sources said that the militants had sealed off the church and planted the bombs on Thursday.
The majority of Mosuls Christian population fled the city when ISIS took over in June. The group has since demolished a number of Christian, Shiite and Yezidi shrines in and around Mosul among them the ancient shrine of Jonah

Yes there are evil people in this world. The real tragedy is when people refuse to acknowledge it and stick their heads in the sand hoping it would go away,

What a victory it will be when, someday, a new church is built on the foundation that remains.
Imagine it. It will happen.
To: Reverend Saltine
I realize I may be going out on a limb here, but I suspect there's a very tiny chance that this church would be standing today if Saddam Hussein were still in power.
/sarcasm off/
I'd like to extend my thanks to all the globalist @ssholes in Washington who helped make this happen.
/major sarcasm off/
