Catholic cardinals need to step up? Where's Cardinal Dolan? every single Christian denomination must rise up in arms against this "Muslim-defensive" statement. Perhaps there is a fear of stoking the fires in the Middle-East but there comes a time when fear must give way to political courage. Obama needs a ferocious rebuttal on the history of the Crusades who sought to recapture the Holy Land taken by Muslim invaders.
Learn your history please. there were no ‘so-called Protestants’ during the Crusades. All Christians were essentially under Rome or under the Byzantium Orthodox Bishops.
If he's sinking himself, high religious officials stepping in and attracting fire to themselves will only hurt their religion.
The question is more why the media doesn't publicize Obama's comments (but the reasons for that are well known as it is).
