[Pressing-On]

Obama distorts history of Crusades at the National Prayer Breakfast.

Here's the facts:

When he is trying to change history, we need to. When O refers to ISIL, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, he is referring to all the land in ancient Mesopotamia, which includes Israel. ISIS is referring to Syria and Iraq.

How did the Crusades begin? The Islamic Arabs conquered the area around the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the 600's AD. Jerusalem and other places remained under Arab rule until the 1000s. During the 1000s the Seljuk Turks, who were very fierce, swept into Turkestan in Asia, took all of Asia Minor (which is now Turkey) from the Byzantine Empire. They occupied Arab Syria, which included the Holy Land. The Turks captured Jerusalem in 1071. They then begin to interfere with Christian pilgrims who tried to visit the holy places.

In 1090's, Alexious Commnenus, the Byzantine emperor, asked Pope Urban II for help in fighting the Turks.
