Unless 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 response,columnist and Fox News
commentator Charles Krauthammer on Fox's Hannity
gave a brief and accurate analysis of President Obama's recent prayer
breakfast comments.
The
president lectured on the past evils of Christianity, i.e., the
Crusades and the Inquisition, seeming to make a moral equivalence to
the barbaric atrocities now committed daily by jihadist Muslims,
including the burning alive of a Jordanian pilot. Never mind that the
bad things he referred to about Christians took place centuries ago.
In the president's outlook, terrorism and barbaric practices must not
in any way be associated with Islam. In other words, let's not live
in the world of reality about this. For Obama, the Newspeak
Dictionary does not allow that kind of thinking because the required
words have been removed.
This
is just one more incident of Obama's reckless and ill-advised polices, by which he insults the American people and
our allies (Netanyahu, for example) and is very timid about
criticizing any aspect of Islamic terror without comparing it to
Christianity. It is jihadist Muslims who are burning churches and
killing Christians in several countries. It is not the other way
around. Many Muslims oppose this behavior, and some leaders are
speaking out, but we don't hear many Muslim clerics complaining about it. In
fact, they and their radical followers are up in arms (sometimes
literally) about “Islamophobia” if anyone mentions something
negative about Islam or if authorities don't go out of their way to
accommodate their wishes. Fortunately, most Americans of all faiths
reject senseless violence.
I
might add that Obama, who claims to be a Christian, has championed
the sins of Romans 1 as his party's political platform, as pointed
out not long ago by a prominent preacher.

With Islam, Folks. But, Hey, Let’s Blame Christianity For Crusades
A THOUSAND Years Ago” at Michael Eden's Start ThinkingRight blog.
