Bobby Jindal on Friday released a statement responding to the president’s remarks on Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast in which he cautioned Americans from getting on a “high horse” when taking a stance against radical Islam because people have committed “terrible deeds” in the name of Christianity, too.
“It was nice of the President to give us a history lesson at the Prayer breakfast,” Jindal said. “Today, however, the issue right in front of his nose, in the here and now, is the terrorism of Radical Islam, the assassination of journalists, the beheading and burning alive of captives. We will be happy to keep an eye out for runaway Christians, but it would be nice if he would face the reality of the situation today.
The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President. Please deal with the Radical Islamic threat today.”

Fixed.
The one thing the Christian faith had that Islam never had was a REFORMATION.
Quite true. In my opinion, the Reformation didn’t change the Old and New Testaments or their basic meanings; it was over how the Catholic Church was organized & run.
For Islam it will need a revocation of those sections of the Koran that call for the killing and or enslavement of those who refuse to convert to Islam. Or deciding that they are no longer useful in a modern and “civilized” society. The new president of Egypt, El Sisi, has made a call for reform of Islam for the 21st Century world —i.e. stop living in the 7th Century like ISIS and other radical Moslems believe.
Christianity Grew Up?
I make no distinction about Muslims. Peacable, indifferent, co-conspirators and vile actors.
Islam is a disease and it won't be long before the world becomes the cure.
For the so called peacable Muslims, this is their problem to clean up if they truly want to be inclusive, accepting/accepted and live in peace amongst the whole human species, occupying the same planet.
They can work toward to solving the perception and reality problems and my guys don’t have to get killed trying to attrit them and remove any global religious ambitions they have.
Hindus have about 1.5 billion adherents and they don’t mess with us or anyone else.
“Nothing” from the 500 million Buddhists either.
But, Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity for 1,400 years and I am intolerant?
How so, jerk offs?
The Crusades? Christianities answer to Islam taking over the Holy Lands, Portugal and Spain.
Battle of Tours? Held Islam in check for its geographic expansion.
Queen Isabella finally, after three requests gave Christopher Columbus the money and ships to find an alternative route around The Silk Road, which was controlled by the Muslims.
In 1491 the Muslim hordes were finally removed from Europe and as a coming out party, looking for new wealth and worlds to expand the empire and trade, Chris went in search of that Alternative.
Thank God, he made a mistake and discovered America instead.
For the next 300 years, any expeditions for trade were held for ransom and the men carrying treasures, in search of revenues for their respective countries held as hostages.
Any country who sent ships into Muslim waters was taken and demand was made by the Barbary Pirates and Imams for “restitution”.
WTF were they willing to trade of value for anything we had of value? Nothing.
But, if you wanted to get your stuff across sea and then transported over land, you were going to pay heavily and the whole thing really was a lose/lose.
Now, on the day of inauguration for Thomas Jefferson he received a letter of demand for $1 million per year. Our men, treasures and ships would be given right of passage if the demand was met.
This demand was being given to every nation at that time.
Well, we had just smoked the worlds most powerful armed force and Jefferson was in no mood to be pushed around.
He sent a letter back saying we were coming and while the letter was in transport he directed the ships Enterprise and Constitution be built.
He sent those two ships to Tripoli, along with an Armada.
Without firing a shot Tripoli saw the wisdom of not engaging our ships and relented.
American then doesn’t hear a peep from Muslims until the Robert Kennedy assassination.
Around the time of Jimmy Carter Muslims are again on the rise, very much agitated and on the move around the world.
They overthrow the Shah of Iran and take our American Brothers and Sisters hostage.
Reagan comes into office and Iran must’ve got the message, as they released them freely.
For the last 35 years all we’ve heard is their belligerent Bull Shiite.
Over the last 15 I have heard over and over how they are “hurt” that we, the infidels, are in their lands.
Well, D***kheads. We made those lands, helped you explore, tried to set you up with modernity and you have been resisting the whole time.
Even now, I have idiot fellow Americans who think we should try to reason with them and understand them.
I don’t have any capacity to understand killers and will not waste time trying to break bread with them, while they are looking for the opportunity to break open my head.
Burning a man alive? In the name of your Gawd? Uhm, FK allah.
I make no apologies for my views. They are based on observable facts and an extraordinarily long period of religious intolerance, belligerence and outright desire to dominate the rest of us.
Watching in real time the events of the last 15 years ought to inform your conscience and reason should be the basis of your action.
Not some feigned emotion hoping the world will be any different than it currently is.
Those millions in Africa hacked to death for the glory of Allah? That’s a good thing right? Because a bunch of dead Christians is better than peace, the right of the individual to live, pursue happiness and improve the lot of their family.
Boko Haram is more important than 300 little girls? Well, you make sense more and more.
Al Qaeda’s observed acts, stated goals and roach like existence of glorifying death and a heaven that debases women, objectifies them and turns the idea of hope of eternal life into some macabre whorehouse. That idea is worth my respect? The hell it is.
And the latest franchise of ISIL/ISIS? Hacking the heads off reporters and the latest some Japanese guys. In addition to murdering women and children because they didn’t conform to their interpretation of Islam?
Oh yeah. I feel you man. They are beautiful people.
Christians in Iraq? Well, not anymore. The oldest churches, some nearly 2,000 years old have been destroyed.
Christians and their artifacts are now fairy tales in the so called “Cradle of Civilization”.
Sohhhh, FK you and and Islam...
For those who can stomach watching the Jordanian man burn alive, here is a link via Pamela Geller:
Islam is a disease, eventually the world needs to be the cure...
Yeah, something that will blow their minds

Oh, that is good. Very, very good.
Islam can’t clean itself up.
They can’t remove Mohammed.
This would be akin to removing Hitler from Nazis. It just can’t be done.
+1
Obama, and many other Muslims, still hate Christianity
Agree. “Reforming” Muhammad into a civilized figure who plays well with others would be like “reforming” Christ into a soldier of fortune packing an M60 with bandoliers.
You really need to work in all the cussing, especially while telling us how wonderful Christ is?
Good. The truth needs to be told.
What Christianity had was Jesus instead of a founder who left being a merchant and became Mohamed the warrior chieftain, polygamist, and child user, when he created Islam, and we had centuries of Christianity being what it was supposed to be, before it veered off track after about 300 years.
i think jindal went for the 2 point conversion.
One of your best yet Mikey!
“In other words, Christianity grew up, Islam never did grow up.”
obola knows that, he just assumes his followers don’t so he will continue that type of attack on Christianity whenever he can.
The Medieval Christian threat was in answer to the Medieval Islamic threat.
Although, Christians did do a lot to themselves as well. Primarily Protestant and Catholic fighting about dogma and doctrine and such.
The devil, as they say, is in the details. And in the fight over the details, the devil got a good laugh.
But thankfully, Christians grew up, as Bobby says.
The murderous minions of MadMo (piss be upon his head) not so much.
