Obama's Christian Slander

          I have never made a secret of disliking President Obama. I oppose his divisive and redistributionist ideology, his extra-constitutional executive actions, and his failed foreign policy. In fact, I have accused him of treason for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, an enemy he resolutely refuses to acknowledge as Radical Islam. His cowardice and his serial mendacity have been bad enough, but I have never been so offended as I was when listening to parts of his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5^th. 

          We are assaulted almost daily with reports of beheadings, crucifixions, burying children alive, stoning of women, and other atrocities committed in the name of Islam.  Upping the ante once again, ISIL burned a Jordanian prisoner to death in a steel cage. Yet, in his speech the President had the unmitigated gall and indecency to equate today’s Islamic barbarism with terrible deeds committed in the name of Christ. I quote:
          “And lest we get on our high horse and think this [Islamic barbarism] is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”
          Christians don’t deny that some terrible things were done in the name of Christianity 600 and 1,000 years ago.  But balance that against the mitigating good brought about by the Church over the centuries and the advancement of civilization made possible by Christian scholars, scientists, artists, and religious leaders.  Has Islam ever had a Renaissance? A Reformation? Has it ever produced a Michelangelo, a Newton, or a Francis of Assisi?
          The President didn’t stop there. He went on:
          “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” 
          What a monstrous slander! If Obama can insist that ISIL isn’t Islamic, how hypocritical it is of him to claim that slave owners and oppressors of blacks in this country were inspired by Christianity.     
          Can you see where this is all going? Slam Christians and slam America. What’s left but Islam?  Now ask yourself where Obama’s sympathies lie. And, if you’re an American Christian, tell me you’re not offended. And outraged at our leader’s perfidy.
