Obama: comparing ISIS to the Crusades

Obama continually — as do other Islam apologists — conflates and compares ISIS to the Crusades.  As in: Islam vs Christianity, with Christianity the abject and utterly violent loser and Evildoer in the equation.

This specious argument couldn’t be more wrong.

Megyn Kelly weighs in:

After that, this video in a more concise version:

And finally, the full 22 minute video:

They are right.  Words matter.  And when Obama speaks before any group and there are TelePrompters involved, the words Mr Obama speaks have been vetted and parsed and sifted with the greatest amount of care possible.  When he says this, he means this.

Which is why when Obama refers to “people (who) committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” he’s speaking about Christians in the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.

This age-old saw is the first trotted out by Muslim apologists.  The major historical problem people don’t much seem to consider is: the Crusades occurred 800 years ago, and the inquisition was 600 years ago.

Since then, the blood and death and violence involving religion has been at the hands of Muslims, in the name of Islam.  Not Christianity.

Charles Krauthammer said:

“Everything he does is to minimize what’s happening, to hold us back and to essentially deny the gravity of what’s happening. That’s why today he had to compare it to the Crusades and to the Inquisition, which is simply astonishing. Mr. President, the Crusades were 800 years ago, and the Inquisition 500 years ago. What’s happening right now is not Christians on the march. It is radical Islam.”

“The only reason Obama got involved with ISIS in the first place was precisely the public reaction to the video beheading of the two Americans,” said Krauthammer. “If that hadn’t happened, he never would have stirred himself.”

Mr Krauthammer is entirely correct.

Obama still can’t say “Islamic terror.”  And ISIL is not Islamic, according to Mr Obama.

  1. After that speech, there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Obama is muslim. Interesting also that Obama is trying to form a coalition between the Democratic Party and muslims here in the US. Indicates to me as to where to look to find the enemies of out Republic. Shame someone didn’t have the balls to call bullshit on Obama during that speech yesterday. Obama is a traitor and should be impeached.

  2. Maybe, just maybe the one’s who voted for this black piece of shit will now wake-up! No, I guess not.
    It could not be any clearer that Obama is a liar, cheat, and a muslim.
    He is a homosexual and a muslim. Not many of those are still alive!!!!

  3. My take on all of this crap going on in our country and the rest of the world is this. God created all men equally. The Word says, ‘The only way to the Father is through Jesus’. God is the one and only Lord. He will reign in the end. The Word says, ‘One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that I am Lord’. Be ready people for that day. If you have not met the Lord and accepted him into your life as the Lord of your life by that day, it will be too late for you. God knows all about this situation. He created all these men/women in his image. He knew them before they were in their mother’s womb, he knew and knows all that is going to happen and how it will end. He knows Obama’s heart. He knows more about Obama than Obama knows about himself. Trust and Faith in your life and continuing to do all you can do by voting for the right people and ministering to/educating people and praying to The Lord that knows all about it.
    Lying in Islam – Quran 2:225 “Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts…”
    -Allah does not judge the Muslims’ words but what they determine in their hearts.
    -The Quran states that lying is acceptable. It even teaches how to make amends for breaking an oath.
    -Muslims are allowed to deny their faith for self-preservation.
    -Muhammad allowed lying in three situations: war, to reconcile two parties and to avoid marital confict.

    Lying in Christianity – Matthew 5:37 Jesus said: “But let your statement be, “Yes, yes, or No, no, anything beyond these is of evil.”
    -The Bible teaches that lying is a sin in all circumstances.
    -Sins are not judged on different levels, liars and murderers are in the same category.
    -Jesus teaches that denying Him will result in separation from God.
    -Lying is a tool of Satan who is called “the father of lies”.

    God has given us all free will. Victims are people who happen to be part of someone’s free will. Someitimes our own free will causes us to be a victim.

    God knows each and every one of us. He knows the count of our hair. He knew how we would be born and He knows how we will die. I am not making light of any of this horrendous behavior/happenings. What I am doing is remembering the Promises of the Lord and remembering His Word so I can keep moving on daily until The Lord calls me home, however that may be.

    Blessings to BZ and all your readers
