Obama gives Christians an important history lesson.

[TooTall]

President Barack Obama wants Christians to know Islam is not the only religion that has inspired violence and terror.

"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," Obama said Wednesday. "And in our home country, slavery, and Jim Crow, all too often was justified in the name of Christ."

Obama made the comments while giving a major speech on religion at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Citing Islamic, Jewish, and Christian scripture, Obama touted his own faith.

This needed to be said.

Christians in this country beat men to death, assassinate doctors, force women to keep silent about rape, hide the systematic molesting of children.

Christians in this country live in relative comfort because of the wealth we have. Take that away, and they would be committing the same evil acts as ISIS.


God forbid we find ourselves in another real economic depression, the Tea Party would be setting immigrants and homosexuals on fire. That type of violence is the end result of combining fear and hunger. The American Taliban is full of fear... make them hungry and watch what they do.

The propaganda arm of ISIS could not have said it better

irrelevant comparison,to the ignorance of man centuries ago,to the utter evil of today,yep your both flaming idiots,and the president is going to pay badly for those comments,who the fuck does he think he is??!!

Obama merely states what he was taught in school in Indonesia and at his Church of 20 years in Chicago.

Obama is proving liberals hate America, thanks Obama.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

The Jesuits were behind the Inquisition and the holocaust. The brutality was beyond the imagination - the actual documents of which Dr. Alberto Rivera - Ex-Jesuit who answered directly to the Pope - and whose assignment was to infiltrate Protestant Churches and destroy the reputations of the Pastors / and Christians - tells the entire story in the videos I posted on the thread about him. Catholicism is not Christianity. It is the antithesis of Christianity. There is absolutely no connection between Christianity and Catholicism other than that they have been at war against true Christianity from the very beginning.

Didn't Obama attend a Catholic School in Indonesia? This is most likely where he got the idea that Catholicism was Christianity. It's not. Not at all. It's the most dangerous cult on the face of the earth. (the Vatican has the money - not Islam -) The Vatican uses Islam as it has from the beginning to achieve its' agenda. The Vatican is the wealthiest organization in the world. Bar none. And corrupt to the very core.

Comparing the Tea Party with the Taliban, saying that Christians 1000 years ago did the same as ISIS excuses the barbarity they are committing today, tells me and anyone with any sense of right or wrong that our president and Democrats in general have their values in the wrong place, and that they cannot be counted on to do what is right. They have been brainwashed and they are so morally corrupt that they have become a constant comfort to our enemies.

The Jesuits never stopped murdering people and they work directly for the Pope. Dr. Alberto Rivera tells of seeing the actual documents on assassinations that were ordered - and reveals it in a book. The Vatican did their best to discredit him but it is clear he knew what he was talking about. He even tells the story of Abraham Lincoln who was killed by John Booth - that assassination was ordered by the Jesuits. They thought they were Jesse James.... in the shadows I guess... Anything for the Pope. They practice the Occult - Jesuits - not Christians at all. Only 2% of all Jesuits are priest (and they are not Christians either) other 98% are living among us to gather information, murder those who oppose the pope, infiltrate groups of people to find out what is going on and report back to the Vatican - every single confession made to a priest is examined and the important ones about revolutions, government secrets, weapons, anything that a person might mention that is of value to the Vatican - it is reported to the General of the Jesuits. ( the Black Pope ) and so the Vatican literally has spies throughout the world doing their work for them. For free. How about that? Read Dr. Alberto Rivera's books and you will learn the truth about what he was trained to do as a Jesuit. Amazing information.

Most Catholics are Democrats. They have been trained from their earliest schooling - to "NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY OF THE POPE". The Pope is a Communist who approves this administration. They will never question anything. It is what it is. Amazing how some of them do not realize this and then accuse the Islamists of blind loyalty to Mohammad and wonder why the Muslims will not question their own religion - the Catholics were the original profile for that - right down to setting Protestants and Jews on fire and burning them to death at the stake - nothing was every permitted to be questioned.

 

[hazlnut]

1. Wisconsin Sikh Temple massacre, Aug. 5, 2012.

2. The murder of Dr. George Tiller, May 31, 2009.

3. Knoxville Unitarian Universalist Church shooting, July 27, 2008. On July 27, 2008, Christian Right sympathizer Jim David Adkisson walked into the Knoxville Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee during a children’s play and began shooting people at random. Two were killed, while seven others were injured but survived. Adkisson said he was motivated by a hatred of liberals, Democrats and gays, and he considered neocon Bernard Goldberg’s book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, his political manifesto. Adkisson (who pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and is now serving life in prison without parole) was vehemently anti-abortion, but apparently committing an act of terrorism during a children’s play was good ol’ Republican family values. While Adkisson’s act of terrorism was reported on Fox News, it didn't get the round-the-clock coverage an act of Islamic terrorism would have garnered.

4. The murder of Dr. John Britton, July 29, 1994.

5. The Centennial Olympic Park bombing, July 27, 1996. Paul Jennings Hill is hardly the only Christian terrorist who has been praised by the Army of God; that organization has also praised Eric Rudolph, who is serving life without parole for a long list of terrorist attacks committed in the name of Christianity. Rudolph is best known for carrying out the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics—a blast that killed spectator Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 others. Hawthorne wasn’t the only person Rudolph murdered: his bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama in 1998 caused the death of Robert Sanderson (a Birmingham police officer and part-time security guard) and caused nurse Emily Lyons to lose an eye.

Rudolph’s other acts of Christian terrorism include bombing the Otherwise Lounge (a lesbian bar in Atlanta) in 1997 and an abortion clinic in an Atlanta suburb in 1997. Rudolph was no lone wolf: he was part of a terrorist movement that encouraged his violence. And the Army of God continues to exalt Rudolph as a brave Christian who is doing God’s work.

6. The murder of Barnett Slepian byJames Charles Kopp, Oct. 23, 1998. Like Paul Jennings Hill, Eric Rudolph and Scott Roeder, James Charles Kopp is a radical Christian terrorist who has been exalted as a hero by the Army of God. On Oct. 23, 1998 Kopp fired a single shot into the Amherst, NY home of Barnett Slepian (a doctor who performed abortions), mortally wounding him. Slepian died an hour later. Kopp later claimed he only meant to wound Slepian, not kill him. But Judge Michael D'Amico of Erin County, NY said that the killing was clearly premeditated and sentenced Kopp to 25 years to life. Kopp is a suspect in other anti-abortion terrorist attacks, including the non-fatal shootings of three doctors in Canada, though it appears unlikely that Kopp will be extradited to Canada to face any charges.

7. Planned Parenthood bombing, Brookline, Massachusetts, 1994. Seldom has the term “Christian terrorist” been used in connection with John C. Salvi on AM talk radio or at Fox News, but it’s a term that easily applies to him. In 1994, the radical anti-abortionist and Army of God member attacked a Planned Parenthood clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts, shooting and killing receptionists Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols and wounding several others. Salvi was found dead in his prison cell in 1996, and his death was ruled a suicide. The Army of God has exalted Salvi as a Christian martyr and described Lowney and Nichols not as victims of domestic terrorism, but as infidels who got what they deserved. The Rev. Donald Spitz, a Christianist and Army of God supporter who is so extreme that even the radical anti-abortion group Operation Rescue disassociated itself from him, has praised Salvi as well.

8. Suicide attack on IRS building in Austin, Texas, Feb. 18, 2010. When Joseph Stack flew a plane into the Echelon office complex (where an IRS office was located), Fox News’ coverage of the incident was calm and matter-of-fact. Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa seemed to find the attack amusing and joked that it could have been avoided if the federal government had followed his advice and abolished the IRS. Nonetheless, there were two fatalities: Stack and IRS employee Vernon Hunter. Stack left behind a rambling suicide note outlining his reasons for the attack, which included a disdain for the IRS as well as total disgust with health insurance companies and bank bailouts. Some of the most insightful coverage of the incident came from Noam Chomsky, who said that while Stack had some legitimate grievances—millions of Americans shared his outrage over bank bailouts and the practices of health insurance companies—the way he expressed them was absolutely wrong.

9. The murder of Alan Berg, June 18, 1984. One of the most absurd claims some Republicans have made about white supremacists is that they are liberals and progressives. That claim is especially ludicrous in light of the terrorist killing of liberal Denver-based talk show host Alan Berg, a critic of white supremacists who was killed with an automatic weapon on June 18, 1984. The killing was linked to members of the Order, a white supremacist group that had marked Berg for death. Order members David Lane (a former Ku Klux Klan member who had also been active in the Aryan Nations) and Bruce Pierce were both convicted in federal court on charges of racketeering, conspiracy and violating Berg’s civil rights and given what amounted to life sentences.

Robert Matthews, who founded the Order, got that name from a fictional group in white supremacist William Luther Pierce’s anti-Semitic 1978 novel, The Turner Diaries—a book Timothy McVeigh was quite fond of. The novel’s fictional account of the destruction of a government building has been described as the inspiration for the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995.

10. Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing, April 19, 1995.Neocons and Republicans grow angry and uncomfortable whenever Timothy McVeigh is cited as an example of a non-Islamic terrorist. Pointing out that a non-Muslim white male carried out an attack as vicious and deadly as the Oklahoma City bombing doesn’t fit into their narrative that only Muslims and people of color are capable of carrying out terrorist attacks. Neocons will claim that bringing up McVeigh’s name during a discussion of terrorism is a “red herring” that distracts us from fighting radical Islamists, but that downplays the cruel, destructive nature of the attack.
