That WAS a religious war, and the clergy on both sides encouraged and gave it their blessing.

And that wasn't 800 years ago either.

Must be a silent majority then, because I only see an occasional Muslim speaking out against ISIS. Even fewer take any real action to stop them. I think we'd all feel better if there was a significant outcry from mainstream Muslims speaking against these animals.

Which religion do you think he was referring to when he spoke about ISIS? Are you saing you have no idea? Another poster already admitted he had no idea which religion was in question, and I think it demonstrates incredible ignorance.

In fact, you should already know about that war...your country participated in it.

I'm not an Obama basher, but what he said was idiotic. The only really bad thing about the Crusades was the murder (by both side) of innocent Jews who had nothing to do with the conflict. The Muslims started the conflict, and got their a$$ handed to them, like they deserved.

In any case, Jim Crow, slavery, and the Crusades happened a long time ago--especially the Crusades. Plus, they have nothing to do with Islamic terror. So why try and make a moral equivalency? It's this type of moronic political correctness that has led me to leave the Democratic Party.

Well, yes, most muslims aren't in a military, sand thus in no position to stop them, and you're not hearing them because you're not listening to them.

Yes, it was a democrat led war to save Moslems and now a big chunk of them live in St. Louis. Hardworking, taxpaying citizens now tired of the black on Bosnian crime:

St. Louis

It goes beyond PC. It actually displays a fundamental dislike of Christianity and a fundamental lack of knowledge of history.

Please share some historical facts about inquisition, and explain your willingness to justify it.

As a Christian I reject it, and Jesus Himself would reject it. I am curious why you feel offended when it is mentioned. You are not defending Christianity when you defend such acts, you are defending criminals and murderers who hijacked Christianity and used it to control people. They didn't just burn one person alive, they burned thousands.

You can look up "facts" yourself. Why would I justify something from the middle ages I had no role in? Tell me where in the bible and especially, since you hate Christians, the New Testament, you find support for harming people who don't believe as you do. Also please tell me how you find an example for it in the life of Jesus Christ. Christians have done bad things in history. No one disputes it. What's happening now due to Islam is what is relevant.

Then give me an explanation of the 164 verses of the Koran that discuss jihad against infidels and let's also discuss the life of that cult's prophet.
