President Barack Obama’s controversial comments equating the recent atrocities by the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists with those of medieval Christians sparked an uproar among the nation’s Christians. But according to ABC News, historians are also taking aim at Obama’s statement: “During the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”

Jews were ruled by Jews when they were conquered by Rome, and it was very Christian of them to not let Jews back into their own capital, after Rome became Christian, and to pass all sorts of restrictive laws targeting Jews. Aelia was Christian because Jews were not permitted to live there on pain of death.

In the middle ages, Jews didn’t have much to choose between Christians and Muslims. Many fled to the Khazar kingdom, which converted to Judaism.

Judge Jeanine Pirro Opening Statement - Obama At Prayer Breakfast

OBAMA CAN SAY CHRISTIAN CRUSADES BUT NOT ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Is it Obama’s Islamophilia or is it Christianophobia?

IT IS OK TO BEHEAD AND BURN INFIDELS ALIVE , MOHAMMED DID IT.

Long before the Crusades, starting with Mohammed to the present times, the Muslims have been committing unbelievable atrocities in the name of Allah and Islam. Jesus preached love, even for our enemies; Muhammad, with his scimitar in hand, ordered to behead or to burn alive the infidels that did not convert to Islam.

“But doesn’t Islam prohibit burning people alive? To answer this question, we need to first look at Muhammad, who spoke for Allah (4:80) and is considered the standard of perfect conduct for Muslims (33:21). Muhammad had no qualms about burning people.

In December 627 Muhammad led an attack against the Al-Mustalaq tribe. Because that tribe fought back, Muhammad ordered their fortifications to be set on fire, even though the Muslims knew there were women and children inside.

Around June 628, when Kinanah bin al-Rabi of the Jewish Bani al-Nadir tribe would not reveal where his conquered tribe’s treasures were hidden, Muhammad ordered one of his soldiers, “Torture him until you extract what he has,” so a fire was built on Kinanah’s chest until Kinanah nearly died.

I don’t think a lot of people know much about the crusades except what they’ve gotten from Hollywood movies.
