Re: Jihad vs Crusades - Obama distorts history
I've never really thought it was fair to compare radical Islam antics with radical Christian antics. For one thing, the Christian side deals with atrocious behavior committed hundreds of years ago. In the case of the Crusades, almost a thousand. (I won't condone what the crusaders did, but they had the same problem with terrorism that we are facing today, so keep that in mind when judging them)
Also, let's compare the intent and severity of the two. While there have been a handful of Caucasian terrorists who have committed acts out of a sense of morality, they don't specifically put a religious label on it, and its incredibly isolated. There aren't any Christian jihad camps recruiting beheaders by the thousands. Right now, the worst group Christianity has are those westboro jerks who stand at funerals and on street corners (gasp) yelling nasty things.
I think it was nostradamus who predicted that one day Christian and Muslims would go to war. According to him, the Christians would win.
