Obama gives Christians an important history lesson.

[hazlnut]

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.

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

Give me one example of this being true! One quote from the time would suffice. Until then this should be consider as pure BS

Nut job can't give an example of it being true, he is allergic to the truth.

Obama didn't give us squat, and didn't give us something that wasn't already known. We all know about the Inquisition, the Crusades, blah blah blah.
What Obama and the rest of you morons cannot seem to understand though, is that it's irrelevant in 2015.
What IS relevant though is what's happening NOW, and in 2015 the home of terror and extremism is Islam.

He did give the Islamist extremists a gift of propaganda that they will now use.

I absolutely believe that the OP is absolutely serious.

For those familiar with the subject of organized southern racism "the curse of Ham" is all the confirmation anyone needs.

Most Christian denominations and all Jewish denominations strongly disagree with such interpretations due to the fact that in the biblical text, Ham himself is not cursed and race or skin color is never mentioned, but thanks for playing

Hazel will be the first on the list.

Not a single religion in the world advocate directly for violence as Islam does, and so the way Muslims interpret it since the Islamic scriptures made it very clear beyond every doubt that Islam must never be reinterpreted, when the rest are just one branch of the religion that reinterpret parts of their own religious scripture, Islam is entirely infected with violence and atrocities even against different branches within Islam.

Jim crow is sufficient reason to burn a Jordanian pilot alive. That's the justification. Slavery in the United States justifies burying hundreds of Iraqi children alive.

Only to a jihadists. Which makes obumble a jihadist himself making excuses for his friends.

As with the OP, Obama is so full of himself and the other stuff that the truth is foreign to them. If I were at that prayer breakfast I would have gotten up and walked out as soon as he spewed that nonsense. But then again considering Obama stand on abortion I would not have invited him to anything Christian in the first place.

What does the comparison to what he says that was done in the name of Christ over 1000 years ago have to do with today? If he would have made that remark and said it is remarkable how Christianity has grown with the times and now it is simply amazing the amount of Christian charity we see in the world. Muslim charity, for anyone other the Muslim, not so much. It is time that Islam grow out of the stone age and join civilized society.

As for Slavery, that was purely economic. An army of God rose up against Obama's party to end the practice not continue the practice. HIS own party was and is the party of slavery, Jim Crow, poll taxes, segregation and most of all the muderous KKK. Things his party has yet to apologize for. The democrats saw their power shifting and did what they could to put the black man back in chains. The Republican party, and Christians in America have nothing to be ashamed of very unlike the history of the Democrat party and Atheists.

Yes, Obama gave the normal left wing history lesson. Facts wrapped in revision simmered in BS.

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard a sitting president say. None of that is relevant to the evil and very real threat we are facing today is Islamic tyrants. All it was is a lame attempt to obfuscate the issue. But he never was much more than a community organizer, it's probably how he gained power and never grew with the job.

What is organized southern racism and how is it superior to northern racism?

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.

 

[Shipwreck]

Your tap dancing president is an idiot.

 

[mudwhistle]

Move over GITMO.

Obama is the best recruiting tool the enemy has.

 

[Wildman]

that lying motherfucker (and he probably did) is what is wrong with America today, that son-of-a-bitch (and she was !) is stuck back in the days between 1095AD - 1204AD, he never carried a cross, just his islamic hate of infidels (CHRISTIANS) .

i'll be the happiest person on USMB come Janurary 2017AD

I wish I could agree twice.
