President Obama Slams American Christians As No Better Than ISIS Terrorists

[Webster]

To borrow Ace of Spades' words..."with all due respect, Mr. President, go to hell."

[/url] How do we, as people of faith, reconcile these realities --the profound good, the strength, the tenacity, the compassion and love that can flow from all of our faiths, operating alongside those who seek to hijack religious for their own murderous ends?

Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. (National Review)

Continuing from Ace of Spades: You may think you're not a terrorist, but you are.

Obama is, and always has been, a terrorist-sympathizing terror apologist. He believes the same "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" you hear from the extreme left; he just doesn't say it.

He does hint it, though.

National Review had their own take of it:

Does the President Obama think American Christians are “on a high horse” when it comes to examining and discussing religious extremism?

Is that really the problem here? Is this really what ought to be the focus of the president of the United States at this moment?

Is it a problem that Americans or American Christians think of themselves as better people than those who seek to hijack religion for their own murderous ends?

News flash: Americans are better people who those who seek to hijack religion for their own murderous ends. No, really, go ahead. Feel good about yourself. I have confidence in declaring you, reader, for whatever flaws you have, a better human being than any member of ISIS or al-Qaeda.

Obama goes on to declare, “This is not unique to one group or one religion.” Except we don’t see Crusades or Inquisitions going on today.

By the way, the president with a “kill list” who’s authorized more than 390 drone strikes probably ought to tone it down a little on lines like, “No grievance justifies the taking of innocent lives.” (National Review)

The ones suggesting things like crusades or defending the slaughter of millions of innocent children while trying to claim they are spreading 'freedom and democracy' really aren't any better.

And the dear leader seems to have forgotten why the crusades began in the first place.

The Truth about Islamic Crusades and Imperialism
By James Arlandson

Historical facts say that Islam has been imperialistic—and would still like to be, if only for religious reasons. Many Muslim clerics, scholars, and activists, for example, would like to impose Islamic law around the world. Historical facts say that Islam, including Muhammad, launched their own Crusades against Christianity long before the European Crusades.

Today, Muslim polemicists and missionaries, who believe that Islam is the best religion in the world, claim that the West has stolen Islamic lands and that the West (alone) is imperialistic.One hardline Muslim emailer to me said about the developed West and the undeveloped Islamic countries: 'You stole our lands' and then he held his finger on the exclamation key to produce a long string of them.

Thus imperialism, a word that has reached metaphysical levels and that is supposed to stop all debates and answer all questions, explains why Islamic countries have not kept up with the West. The emailer did not look inwardly, as if his own culture and religion may play a role. Instead, it is always the West's fault.

Westerners—even academics—accept the notion that the West alone was aggressive. It seems that Islam is always innocent and passive. It is difficult to uncover the source of this Western self—loathing. It is, however, a pathology that seems to strike Westerners more than other people around the globe. This anti—West pathology shows up in Westerners' hatred for the European Crusades in the Medieval Age.

It must be admitted that there is much to dislike about the European Crusades. If they are contrasted with the mission and ministry of Jesus and the first generations of Christians, then the Crusades do not look so good. But did the Europeans launch the first Crusade in a mindless, bloodthirsty and irrational way, or were there more pressing reasons? Were they the only ones to be militant?

The purpose of this article is not to justify or defend European Crusades, but to explain them, in part—though scholarship can go a long way to defend and justify them

In this article, the word 'crusade' (derived from the Latin word for 'cross') in an Islamic context means a holy war or jihad. It is used as a counterweight to the Muslim accusation that only the Europeans launched crusades. Muslims seem to forget that they had their own, for several centuries before the Europeans launched theirs as a defense against the Islamic expansion.
