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.

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.
