Christianity has worked to end slavery, while Islam still permits and in many places, encourages it. But all cultures are equal...right?

Did he say anything about his buddies enslaving people, today, not a thousand years ago?

Obama’s comments on the Crusades and the Inquisition cements his title as the Cliff Notes President.

[Salvation]

**While the president is right that slavery supporters often sought out validation in Christian theology, it’s also true (but sadly unremarked on by the president) that Christianity was the mobilizing force that stopped slavery throughout the world.**

BTTT!

Another important point is that no Christians in the room that morning were involved with the Crusades or the Inquisition. Additionally, I doubt many of them are slave owners either. Hussein Obama needs to look for other reasons to justify muslim beheadings and other violence.

By the way, I like to add that I believe the Crusades were a result of Christians just growing tired of muslim terrorism. They had had enough and finally decided to fight back. muzzies were behaving then like they are now. The expansion of islam prior to the Crusades was only a result of their terrorist acts.

Slavery and Christianity in colonial America is a complicated issue. Liberals like things to be simple but they seldom are.

George Whitefield could be seen to justify it but I think it was more a matter of trying to make the best of a situation he had little control over. He simply suggested using it as a means of freeing blacks from the barbarism of Africa. He was given a slave (Surrey) who he freed immediately yet took her in to live with his family where she could be cared for as she was educated.

Whitefield later became a staunch and outspoken abolitionist.

Phyllis Wheatley was a global superstar poet and a slave. She traveled to Europe and met heads of state. She could have remained in Europe as a free woman but chose to return to America. She wrote the Eulogy for George Whitefield's funeral. Her poetry took a dim view of slavery and racism yet praised God for having been brought out of Africa.

An example

Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there's a God, that there's a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
"Their colour is a diabolic dye."
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.

Obama does not care who he offends and he is President? Talk about someone on their high horse. This guy is all over the board with his rhetoric. He is absolutely out of control; has no discipline like a young kid.

[Uri’el-2012]

Barry Soetoro sure is ignorant.

He only seems to know what Valerie puts on his teleprompter.

Most Crusades were formed to protect Western civilization
from invading blood-thirsty Islamic terrorists.

Some Crusades were created by the Pope
to murder those who refused to submit(Islam) to him.

Jim Crow laws and slavery have been promoted by the Democrat Party.

I’m sure he didn’t mention these Bible verses:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+21%3A16&version=MEV

“He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.”

and

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+1%3A8-11&version=ESV

“Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.”

[HotHunt]

Obama's approach to blame Christians for what they did almost a thousand years ago to justify why his Muslim buddies are committing atrocities today, is indefensible. And he needs to get his facts right about history.
