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.

Jordan does as promised

From YahooNews.com:

Jordan hangs two Iraqi militants in response to pilot’s death

AMMAN (Reuters) – Jordan hanged two Iraqi jihadists, one a woman, on Wednesday in response to an Islamic State video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being burned alive in a cage by the hard-line group.

Islamic State had demanded the release of the woman, Sajida al-Rishawi, in exchange for a Japanese hostage whom it later beheaded. Sentenced to death for her role in a 2005 suicide bomb attack in Amman, Rishawi was executed at dawn, a security source and state television said.

Just as I indicated yesterday, Jordan wasted no time in responding to the released ISIS video showing captured Jordanian pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh literally set on fire in a metal cage and burned alive.

It would appear that Jordan’s King Abdullah, unlike Mr Obama, can not only name Islamic terror, but can do something about it.

Islam: here is your Religion of Peace

Islam -- Here's Your Religion of PeaceIslam ROP 1 Islam ROP 2Islam ROP 3

Here is the full 24-minute video.  It is clearly “produced” and meant to influence.

Jordan, however, has a plan.

You need to SEE the true aspect of Islam, the Religion of Peace.  Watch carefully.  Include your children.  Bring popcorn.  Muslims certainly are.

Islam -- This Is IslamObama -- ISIL Is Not Islamic

Western civilization has Islam wrong:

KoranAbsolutely correct.

Western civilization and nations have Islam completely wrong, as Islam has been telling you for quite some time.

It isn’t Islamists that aren’t following the Quran.

It’s so-called “moderate Muslims.”

Ponder that for a moment.

Then read “Why Islam Creates Monsters.”

West: “moderate” Muslims the exception, not the rule

This is, perhaps, the most important post I’ve made to date.

On any number of levels, from any number of GOWP sources, we are constantly barraged by the Leftist meme that violent Islamist individuals and groups who carry out bombings, killings, beheadings, spilling blood in the name of Islam, are the exception and not the rule.

..اسلام به عنوسلام به عنوان اسلام می کند

I said a number of years ago and say now: “Islam IS as Islam DOES.”  Nothing more complicated or cerebral than that.  To excuse Islam from actions carried out in its name excuses over a thousand years of bloodshed and unnecessary deaths on behalf of a barbarous religion that is unmatched in its ferocity via any other religion on the planet.

Islam isn’t “gray” and it isn’t “nuanced” and it isn’t “subtle.”  Islam will and does tell you precisely what it wants day after day after day.  And we, the various Western nations, are not listening.

Worse yet, we are choosing not to listen.

“Those who make all Islam their enemy not only succumb to a simplistic and essentialist illusion but they lack any mechanism to defeat it.”

An incredibly simplistic statement in and among itself, promulgated by Leftists.

Most lawful citizens of Western nations are good people.  They want to believe in the inherent goodness of people.  They want to see the proverbial glass as half full, as opposed to half empty.  They want to believe that most issues can be solved with good will, communication, positive intent and low voices.

With the exception of Islam.  Which has proven over the past thousand + years that it cannot be reasoned with, it cannot be corrupted, it cannot be subsumed, it cannot be modulated and it cannot be ignored.

Please listen to Colonel Allen West as he happens to nail Islam precisely, and names it for what it is:

Sadly, Allen West refutes feelings and emotions with nothing but solid facts and history and knowledge.  To the detriment of Leftists and Muslims and Muslim-apologists.

It really is this simple: Islam is as Islam does.

Islam is a cancer.  The problem to date: there is no chemo for Islam.
