"And lest 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."
Both the crusades and the Inquisition happened in the 13th Century or earlier, many hundreds of years before the establishment of the United States.
"In our own country, slavery, Jim crow, so often was justified in the name of Christ," Obama continued. And he mentioned the collision of faiths in India.
"So it's not unique to one group or one religion. There is a tendency in us -- a sinful tendency -- that can pervert and distort our faith."

Because it's all he's got. He had to bring up something that happened hundreds of years ago and claim it's no different than the archaic practices of today's Muslims. They haven't advanced at all in centuries and still subscribe to the same beliefs that their ancestors did. I really disliked the part about us being on a high horse and judging terrorists. Yea, who are we to say that it's wrong to murder people because they insulted your religion? Who are we to say it wrong to treat women as possessions who have no rights? This happens in the most "moderate" of Muslim countries.
He also seemed more upset about the people who dared to insult their prophet than in the draconian mindset of the terrorists. He said they committed atrocities, but refuses to admit it has anything to do with their religion. He had no problem saying that Christians committed terrible acts and even included slavery as something they did in the name of Christianity, but still insists that terrorists are not Muslims.
Christians today like to protest and make their voices heard, but they don't kill those who insult their God. To compare the two in any way is just wrong because one is ancient history and one is today's news. And murders in the name of Allah will be tomorrow's news.
Why are there so many radicals in the Muslim world? Why doesn't Obama address that instead of trying to shame America for being so outraged at the number of Muslim terrorists? And why is it wrong to bash Muslims for treating women so horribly? I thought liberals believed in human rights across the globe, yet they won't even disagree with the typical Muslim practice of forcing women to cover themselves and refusing their rights as women and as human beings.
The few Muslim women who have dared to speak out have stated that Muslim women have no allies and will never have a voice because no one will come to their aid and say how wrong it is for them to be treated like slaves. Instead they hear the left defending Muslims and saying they are peaceful. I'm sure the women and the young girls subjected to genital mutilation don't feel they are oppressed by peace loving people. They are at the mercy of evil dictators within Islam. It seems prevalent throughout and I will not defend it. An Imam said recently, in a speech in Europe, that women must obey their men, keep the home and never deny their husbands sex. Seems that is the only reasons that Muslim women exist. I hate to think what kind of beating the women get if they don't obey. But, hey, it's just such a peaceful religion so we should never ever say a negative word or we are the bad ones. I get it. And when Muslims move to America, they should still be allowed to follow their religion that says women are lesser beings.
Islam isn't really a religion, at least not like most. Their religion is their government and the only thing they will accept. Why do they go to other countries when they don't approve of the laws and customs there? If they like Sharia law, why don't they stay in Muslim countries that already do things the way they want? Or is anyone on the left willing to admit that they have a plan to spread out and conquer places, one little step at a time? Some Muslims have stated that the goal of Muslims is to one day control the world. Nice of the left to give them a hand with that.
No way..they aren't muslims... Obama says so
