Here is the insane comments President Obama delivered yesterday at the National Prayer Breakfast.
“People committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” the president said.
“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, Jim Crow, all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”
The Spanish Inquisition killed 3,000 in 140 years, and for reasons that stretch beyond religion. ISIS, however, has killed 9,000 in about eight months, and for reasons related exclusively to religion.
None of the Democrats who perpetuated Jim Crow in the South did it for religious reasons. Obama simply made that up.
Christianity was largely responsible for the ABOLITION of slavery.
And the 11th century Crusades involved atrocities committed by both sides, Christian and Muslim. But they BEGAN because of Islam’s brutal conquest of the Holy Land.
The President proved nothing more than that he is a moral and historical idiot.
He is attempting to blow out the moral lights around us.
But not all think so.
Now comes word that America’s largest Muslim group has responded to the President’s comments.
From The Blaze:
The nation’s largest Muslim group is inviting President Barack Obama to visit an American mosque, enthusiastically embracing the president’s controversial comments at the National Prayer Breakfast this week comparing past Christian misdeeds to the Islamic State.
“We thank President Obama for clearly separating the brutal actions of ISIS from the faith of Islam and for reminding us all that violence and injustice are not part of any faith,” said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations, in a statement Friday. “We invite the president to show public support for American Muslims by making the symbolic but significant gesture of visiting an American mosque in this time of growing Islamophobia.”
