truthfinder Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Well, well, well: it looks like Prince Charles actually has something sensible to say as the future head of the Church of England. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/prince-charles-says-he-fears-for-christians-in-middle-east/ar-AA97gXJ Although some of the other twaddle is in this article, he does state that Christianity is at risk in the Middle East, and that there are Islamic extremists.

brandelynmarie Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Obama seems to forget that the Crusades were largely in response to fighting "the Saracens"... *shakes head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oremus Pro Invicem Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Obama seems to forget that the Crusades were largely in response to fighting "the Saracens"... *shakes head* By calling them the same thing Obama has, in a sense, called the Christian way of life 'terrorism'. The crusades were a response to the constant sacking of Christian empires/civilizations by Muslims. ISIS is not doing anything new in the world of Islam, and to say that their aggression against the Christians is equal to the crusades, is to say that Christians simply living their faith is just cause for Muslims to attack them. Obama needs lots of prayers and sacrifices from us. Edited February 9, 2015 by Oremus Pro Invicem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little2add Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I am disappointed that the President used a National prayer Breakfast to make an historically inaccurate and misguided comparison between events from the early part of the second millennium (referred to as the Crusades) - and events from the middle part of that same millennium (referred to as the inquisition) - and the current evil being committed by the Islamic State (ISIS). There is no comparison. These contemporary Islamist Jihadist terrorists not only murder, they revel in methodical torture and proclaim, on every available social media platform, that the evil they are perpetrating is just and warranted in the eyes of god.

Ark Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The Crusades were a reaction to Jihad. If there was no Islamic Jihad there would have been no need for Crusades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
