Obama Just Compared Christianity With Islam…At National Prayer Breakfast

[JoeB131]

That would be past tense. The Nazi's played god. they had no G-d

You know what the Nazis said at the concentration camps?

"Jews, you are being killed for killing Christ!"

The Nazis were Christians, they wore "Gott Mit Uns" on their belt buckles, and the Pope supported them.

 

[JoeB131]

wrong, interantional relations means keeping this country strong, even if it pisses other countries off.

Bush may have pissed them off, but obama has made them laugh at us.

Bush pissed away two trillion dollars attacking a country that wasn't our enemy.

How does that make us strong?

so let me get this straight. Even though the Protestant majority wanted the British there, terrorism was okay.

But terrorism to drive out the Zionists isn't?

Again- one man's "Terrorist" is another man's "Freedom Fighter".

"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."

Good commentary from someone who was in the room....

The main problem I see with Obama’s comments is that they directly contradicted the vision of the National Prayer Breakfast and why those 3500+ people were in that room. The focus of the National Prayer Breakfast is unity – how we can build unity among society’s three largest religions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism

Every prayer, Scripture reading, and speech up until the president spoke, as well as everything after the president, were about reconciliation and taking an opportunity to move forward from the violence of the past.

The president’s comments were insulting to the people in the room and to the purpose of the prayer breakfast. We were gathered to pray for the world, for peace and unity. This event is so unique in its ability to have a letter from the pope and a speech from a Muslim king read to an audience containing pastors, rabbis, and the Dalai Lama himself, all of whom desire the same goal.

If the cameras had scanned that room, you would have seen every color and ethnicity in the audience, people from all over the world and from all walks of life - the president was not just speaking to white, American Christians. Imagine the confusion and offense the president caused to these people, many of whom were Muslim.

President Obama stole a moment in time from us. At a meeting where the whole purpose was discovering and fostering unity, he poured salt in an open wound that every speaker before him had attempted to bring healing to. It was shocking, insulting, offensive

Obama doesn't or hasn't ever wanted Unity. all he's ever done in office is spit out hate and Division. not one of his speeches or any of his actions says, I'm a UNITER

Most of us are a little more civilized then these people over a 1,000 years ago!

We still have barbarians doing the burning but not the Christians. We've grown up.

One other point YOU ARE FORGETTING...
How did the Saracens occupy Jerusalem in the first place?
Did the occupants just give up peacefully to the petitions of the Saracens?
Did the Saracens BUY Jerusalem?
Is it possible the Saracens were the bad guys first?

Jerusalem was an important city of the Byzantine province of Palestina Prima. Just 23 years prior to the Muslim conquest, in 614, it fell to an invading Sassanid army under Shahrbaraz during the last of the Byzantine-Sassanid Wars.

I think you are a little confused here, guy. The Sassanids were not "Muslims", they were Zoroastrians.

And yes, the century of war between the Sassanids and Byzantines made it pretty easy for the Muslims to roll up the whole thing.

Thanks.. I didn't notice the Sassanid as I was responding to the innocence of the Saracens according to the commentator who said the
Crusaders were wearing Saracens blood.
Of course we all know that the white European caucasian is the root cause of ALL evil in the world and nothing good comes from them!

The problem is Der Führer is NOT representing me a Christian when he lumps my civilized Christianity with what happened 1,000 years ago.
All of us have become a little more grown up it seems then Der Führer as he is still living in the Middle Ages where Christians are doing inquisitions or the 1800s with the KKK. Führer also forgets HE is President of the USA. NOt of the world yet. He represents the USA and as such it is NOT his place to denigrate me or my fellow Christians by equating us with the current day barbarians. Obama's efforts are pure stupidity and help foment more justification for burnings,bombing,beheadings and burials!
Poor Obama just hasn't grown up yet!

Bush was doing what Clinton started you dummy!!!
Here once again the FACTS that you are so stupidly ignoring!
These Democrats wanted Saddam removed as you can READ (If you are capable of reading!!!)

"..deny Iraq the capacity to develop WMD".Bill Clinton,1998
"..most brutal dictators of Century", Biden,1998
"Iraq compliance with Resolution 687 becomes shell game"..Daschle 1998
"He will use those WMDs again,as he has ten times since 1983" ..Berger Clinton Ntl. Secur. Advr 1998
"posed by Iraq's refusal to end its WMD programs" Levin 1998
"Saddam has ignored the mandate of the UN and is building WMDs and the means to deliver.." Levin 2002

"Iraq's search for WMDs ...will continue as long as Saddam's in power"..Gore 2002
"Saddam retains stockpiles of WMDS.."Byrd 2002
"..give President authority to use force..to disarm Saddam because..threat our security"..Kerry 2002
"Without a question, we need to disarm Saddam. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an
oppressive regime .... to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction
.... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...."Kerry , Jan. 23. 2003
"..Unmistakable evidence Saddam developing nuclear weapons next 5 years.."Rockefeller 2002
"Violated over 11 years every UN resolution demanding disarming WMDs.."Waxman 2002
"He's given aid,comfort & sanctuary to al Qaeda members..and keep developing WMDs"..Hillary 2002
“So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interest of our nation. A vote for it is
not a vote to rush to war. It is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our president.”
Hillary Clinton on October 2, 2002

Clinton signed this ACT and proceeded to bomb Iraq!
Saddam continued to defy UN, USA the rest of the world.

The 1998 Liberation of Iraq, SIGNED by CLINTON, and the Congress passed Resolution of 2002 (Public law 107-243, 116 Stat. 1497-1502)
"Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq " "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional statement of policy calling .
"It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."
On December 16, 1998, President Bill Clinton mandated Operation Desert Fox, a major four-day bombing campaign on Iraqi targets.
Then in 2001 with 9/11 and anthrax attacks!

So again FACTS trump your speculations and ignorance!!!

Christianity is just another man made religion. It too like Islam has a very violent history. Are you really arguing your fairytale is better than theirs? The Mormon story is an improvement on your christian faith. While its crazy too at least it doesn't have such a terrible history.

Let's start a new. Let's stop putting our trust in the writings of the ancients. Let's admit god never visited anyone and the only thing a god if he existed would want is for us to do the right thing. We only have one life. Don't waste it on a fairytale of an afterlife.

Obama drones have killed more people than the Spanish Inquisition did.

At least 2,464 people have now been killed by US drone strikes outside the country’s declared war zones since President Barack Obama’s inauguration six years ago, the Bureau’s latest monthly report reveals.

Of the total killed since Obama took his oath of office on January 20 2009, at least 314 have been civilians, while the number of confirmed strikes under his administration now stands at 456.

Research by the Bureau also shows there have now been nearly nine times more strikes under Obama in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia than there were under his predecessor, George W Bush.

And the covert Obama strikes, the first of which hit Pakistan just three days after his inauguration, have killed almost six times more people and twice as many civilians than those ordered in the Bush years, the data shows.

The figures have been compiled as part of the Bureau’s monthly report into covert US drone attacks, which are run in two separate missions – one by the CIA and one for the Pentagon by its secretive special forces outfit, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).

The research centers on countries outside the US’s declared war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.

So how does that number of 2,464 killed in Obama’s drone program — not including those killed in Iraq or Afghanistan — compare to, say, the Spanish Inquisition?

A decade ago the Vatican published the results of a six-year study of the Inquisition, including the number of those killed across Europe. With respect to the 350-year-long Inquisition in Spain, the BBC reported that the study found the following:

According to the 800-page report, the Inquisition that spread fear throughout Europe throughout the Middle Ages did not use execution or torture to anything like the extent history would have us believe.

In fact the book’s editor, Professor Agostino Borromeo, claims that in Spain only 1.8% of those investigated by the notorious Spanish Inquisition were killed.

Nonetheless, as the report was published, Pope John Paul II apologised once more for the interrogators’ excesses, expressing sorrow for “the errors committed in the service of the truth by the recourse to non-Christian methods” [...]

But the Vatican report, the product of a six-year investigation, insists that the Inquisition was not as bad as often believed.

Professor Borromeo says for example that for 125,000 trials of suspected heretics in Spain, less than 2% were executed.

A quick calculation finds that 1.8 percent of 125,000 would represent 2,250 killed during the Spanish Inquisition if Prof. Borromeo’s estimates are correct.

So Barack Obama has killed at least 2,500 in drone strikes during the six years of his presidency, not including those killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. The Spanish Inquisition reportedly killed 2,250 over 350 years. For comparative purposes, I would note, as I reported here at PJ Media last month, that Boko Haram reportedly killed 2,000 over several days in a massacre in Northern Nigeria....

>> García Cárcel estimates that the total number processed by the Inquisition throughout its history was approximately 150,000; applying the percentages of executions that appeared in the trials of 1560–1700—about 2%—the approximate total would be about 3,000 put to death. Nevertheless, it is likely that the toll was much higher, keeping in mind the data provided by Dedieu and García Cárcel for the tribunals of Toledo and Valencia, respectively. It is likely that between 3,000 and 5,000 were executed.[92]

...

The archives of the Suprema only provide information surrounding the processes prior to 1560. To study the processes themselves, it is necessary to examine the archives of the local tribunals; however, the majority have been lost to the devastation of war, the ravages of time or other events. Jean-Pierre Dedieu has studied those of Toledo, where 12,000 were judged for offences related to heresy.[95] Ricardo García Cárcel has analyzed those of the tribunal of Valencia.[96] These authors' investigations find that the Inquisition was most active in the period between 1480 and 1530, and that during this period the percentage condemned to death was much more significant than in the years studied by Henningsen and Contreras. Henry Kamen gives the number of about 2,000 executions in persona in the whole of Spain up to 1530.[97] ​

And this of course is all limited to Spain and only for this particular chapter of the Madness....

>> The 16th and 17th centuries saw a which-hunt such as the world had never seen. Rumors spread like wildfire of people participating in wild witches' Sabbats, the adoption of animal forms, and ritual cannibalism. Superstitious fear flung accusations everywhere, and the population lived in terror. As many as 200,000 people were burned at the stake for witchcraft during this time. Burning was believed to cleanse the soul, tantamount for those accused of witchcraft or heresy.

Henry the VIII's daughter, Mary Tudor ("Bloody Mary") gave birth to England's most famous burnings at the stake. One of her victims was the sometime Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, in 1556. During the course of Bloody Mary's five year reign, she was responsible for 274 burnings. Her victims were condemned of heresy--being Protestant.

In the 17th century, during the Spanish Inquisition, burning at the stake was a popular choice for punishment since it did not spill the victim's blood (the Roman Catholic Church forbade this). The burning meant the victim would have no body to take into the afterlife. << -- Burning At the Stake​

On the other hand -- cherries are delicious. So there's that.
I bet they really make a Bloody Mary uh..... come alive.

That would be past tense. The Nazi's played god. they had no G-d

You know what the Nazis said at the concentration camps?

"Jews, you are being killed for killing Christ!"

The Nazis were Christians, they wore "Gott Mit Uns" on their belt buckles, and the Pope supported them.

Delusional

Inability to answer the point Duly noted.

Let's not forget, the reason why you guys had to steal Palestine from the Arabs was because the Christians of Europe made a pretty darn good effort to eradicate you. Every country Hitler invaded, he found Christians more than happy to "help".

Remember that? I mean, every time you guys get called on what a bunch of shitstains you are to the Palestinians, you guys play the Hitler Card.
