if you're asking if the president was using the crusades to defend the acts of terrorists, the answer is he wasn't.give me a quote. in many ways christians are like muslims. in some ways they are different. you're "paraphrasing" is too vague
Is it true? Are Christians just like Muslims?
{“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,” } - Jihadist in Chief Obama
Is the comparison of Christians a thousand years ago a valid defense of Muslims today? And this assumes that the acts of Christians in the Crusades are equal to the savagery of the Muslims today.
but he was bringing it up as a defense of muslims, reminding people that just because a faith is shared with a barbarian doesn't mean that barbarism is part of the faith.
