Why must leftists always be dishonest when it comes to these things?
Semi-correct. I know that Wikipedia is not always a reliable source, but I believe this information to be correct:

Point is "A Christian Did this" was technically correct, but as you correctly pointed out, he did not do it for reasons related to his faith, current or past.

Neither side has a monopoly on dishonesty, or disingenuity when trying to 'prove' their point.

As I've posted many (!) times before, Christianity is not a hateful religion. But to associate Islam with ISIS is just as flawed as associating Christianity with this group of "representatives". That's all.

Tens of thousands of Eric Rudolphs? This is some kind of Orwellian doublethink. 2+2=5.

BTW, Obama fears the truth, that's why he's such an accomplished LIAR.

God forbid offending terrorists by shining a light on their actions, heck Obama won't even mention the name of the "religion of violence" when speaking about them.

But yes he will lie and rewrite the koran and history to further his failed policies.
So, one can't criticize Obama without being an Obamaphobe?

One CAN equate Islam with ISIS because their belief system teaches them to be barbaric.
Christianity is a belief system based on the teachings of Christ. I don't know if anyone can find an example of barbarism committed by Christ or his followers, even in His day.

Not so with Islam and Muhammed's followers. Their barbarism is as fresh as the blood spilled by their victims and the stench of burning flesh just this past week.

Also this concept of living in the past bringing up the crusades and things kingdoms who adopted christianity did is so asinine.
SO what if monarchs and governments from a thousand or more years ago committed war crimes in the name of christianity do you think they were all that different when they were pagans?
We are talking about the here and now and people love to talk about time periods that they and all of their family never experienced to take validity away from a modern day issue
