In the wake of ISIS video of the caging and burning alive of a Jordanian pilot President Obama saw fit to paint Christians with the same brush, in effect equating their actions with Crusaders who fought to save Western civilization from the slaughter that accompanied the Islamic wars of forced conversion. He told the National Prayer Breakfast “that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ,”[i] and suggested that the deeds of ISIS were an aberration within Islam. [Then what of al-Qaeda, 9/11, the USS Cole, the slaughters in the Philippines, Boko Haran, the imprisoning of Pastor Saeed, the kidnapping of teenage school girls and the stoning of rape victims for adultery, just to mention a few?] The Crusaders were sometimes brutal. But the Crusades were a reaction to wars of Islamic conquest.

Equally as sad is Geraldo Rivera told Bill O’Reilly (Fridays with Geraldo – 06 Feb 15) that more people had been killed in the name of religion than any other reason .. Outlandish given the numbers killed by Communism & Fascism ..
