The View From The High Horse
Townhall.com ^ | February 8, 2015 | Kevin McCullough

While President Obama attempted to eviscerate a wholly righteous anger in the hearts and minds of the American people earlier this week--he took to chastisement as his verbal bludgeon of choice.

But that anger, is an anger that is directed at the Islamic State for more or less living up to the basic tenets of their holy book. Those who do not share a reverence for it, rightfully point out this hypocrisy with concern for the welfare of our own children.

The President's choice of venues to express these sentiments was also quite odd. The National Prayer Breakfast was once known as a time to exalt "Christ above all others."

So of course it makes complete sense for him to go out of his way to add the Dalai Llama, several Muslim Brotherhood members, and a few other ingredients to the mix.

Because...

You know...

The 3600 in attendance were 98% Christian.

That he would yammer on about the importance of the presence of the Llama, discuss the atrocities of Christians (a thousand years ago,) and ignore the acts "done in the name of Islam," demonstrated the contempt he even has for the very event--much less the prayer it generates to support his administration.

His justification of modern day ISIS in any regard is stomach churning.

But using his equivalent third grade perspective of history to tell us this went beyond ignorance to willful "misremembering."

The benefit of such is that thousands of memes, Twitter users, and social media conversations have taken his poor historical aptitude to task.

Which they should have.

For the sake of space here let me summarize the portion of history President Obama flunked.

In the Mohammadian era, Mohammed and the other reprobates he inspired to follow him, decided they were gonna rape who they wanted, destroy what they wished, and steal what wasn't theirs.

Obviously this agenda really struck a chord with the deprived, brain-washed, abusers who could keep neither steady jobs nor adult relationships in their lives.

Because the doctrine of "jihad" allowed/s them to go to war if someone was disrespecting, insulting, or in some cases just telling the truth about this perverted system of belief they were encouraged to kill all who doubted, disagreed, or disbelieved.

So for over 400 plus years these gangs attacked Arabia, large portions of Eastern Europe, the land of Abraham, and even swaths of Western Europe. (Close to two-thirds of the known world.)

Christians were beheaded, burned, buried alive, and mostly beaten in every region.

For 400 years...

The Crusades were the reason that most of those exploits except for the area around modern day and historic Israel were reversed.

Did they force conversion? Many will say yes. But did they kill all who disagreed?

No!

In large measure they simply pushed Muslims back to the lands where Mohammed started his glorified nightmare of a religion.

Muslims had not been nearly so kind in their initial assaults.

How terribly ironic it is to this day that the ones who lost "their" unjustly conquered territories still hold a grudge against those who kicked them out by labeling the nations that descended from them as "Crusaders."

So as the President told us all to get off of our high horse--while he simultaneously mounted his (yet one more historical reference he should've looked up before using)--he literally had no idea of what comparison he was making.

Not to mention the fact that slavery was never performed "in the name of Christ"--though it still is to this day "in the name of Islam." And that while Christians themselves overwhelmingly agitated and produced the abolition of slavery in western lands, nary a Muslim has dared to do the same.

The old saying goes: "Those that do not remember the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat them."

In forgetting all about the origins of that time, President Obama also stealthily ignored the atrocities being done today in Islam's name.

The "High Horse" was reserved for the victorious general. It was a steed of honor to declare victory over the known enemy.

Our President neither understands who our enemy is, nor what the victor must do to defeat them.

My earnest prayer is that it doesn't require 400 years of rape, terror, conquest, and beheadings by Allah's jihadists for us to understand the lessons of history and what we must do to assure the watching world that they will never be repeated again.

Permission to dismount granted Mr. President.

What Obama could have said and should have said is Islam is a 21st Century Plague.

If we are to survive this plague, we must recognize Islam for what it really is: It’s not a religion, form of government, or anything recognizable by the civilized mind. Islam is a disease, an incurable disease of the mind that is highly contagious among the feeble minded and is now spreading among the world’s feeble minded at an epidemic rate. As with any disease, one can’t reason with this disease, negotiate with it, or treat in any manner other than how one would treat any other incurable disease. Carriers of this Plague of Islam must be eradicated wherever they’re found, for if they’re not, this disease will eventually end not just Western Civilization, but will undo over 5,000 years of human civilization.

Obama’s “Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique...” comment is another dig at American and western exceptionalism. It is patently offensive that he compare Christianity to Islam. Islam is steadfast in barbarity and evil. Sickening to see Obama, Muslim or not, continually make excuses for and defend Islam.

Islam is evil and the sooner we see its incompatibility with the civilize world, the sooner we can start ridding ourselves of it. First is to cease calling it a religion. It is a pathological cult based on violence and subjugation.

The taqiyya-talkin' Trojan horse speaking about the "high horse".

When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature, they will like the strong horse.

FUBO…weak, jackass

He is an ignorant street hustler from Indonesia who was made by communists and the CIA who instructed him in diction and gave him a cover legend. He is the Muslim Brotherhood’s agent and he is in our Oval Office.

I'm sure that the bout of diarrhea of the mouth that Obama had at the prayer breakfast went over quite well with his leftist minions in their discussions before hand. They're too clueless to even realize how disgusting and vile this premise is and didn't realize the firestorm of criticism it would cause. They actually thought they were on to a good point. They're just that stupid.

Does Obama’s promise to “transform America” ring hollow or beginning to resonate.....I fear Barack Obama may be the ‘highest ranking Muslim’ in the world...

Not to mention the fact that slavery was never performed “in the name of Christ”

Slavery was performed in the name of commerce but, it’s presence always injured the conscience of the Christian and hence its eventual abolition.

Islam has many justifications for the tenet of slavery, legal support for it under Islamic law and codification of the condition of slavery.

Quite a picture. Do you have a source or caption that tells what it’s about? There’s probably quite a story behind it.

It’s kind of a stock photo with real way to ascertain attribution.

It is used variously to describe minor girls being led away for marriage on some websites and others describing them as being led off for group punishment for crimes against Islam...

I dunno. Maybe they wanted to attend school as little girls, instead of being used as sexual servants and slaves.

In any case, islime debases women of all ages.
