Obama's Remarks Show Shocking Ignorance Of Western Civilization
news.investors.com ^ | February 5, 2015

Culture: In remarks at a prayer meeting Thursday, President Obama implied Christianity, just like Islam, is filled with people who "hijack religion for their own murderous ends." This is the progressive disease of moral equivalence at its worst.

In recent days and weeks, the world has watched grimly as the horrific barbarity of fundamentalist Islam has been put on full display.

With routine beheadings, crucifixions, tortures, mass killings of civilians, burying children alive, and, most recently, burning a prisoner alive and filming his death agony to the approving yells of onlookers, it's clear something is horribly wrong within Islam. And yet, apart from rather routine denunciations of the savagery, Obama used his appearance at a National Prayer Breakfast to upbraid Christians for their sins. "Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."

The remarks aren't merely insulting. They betray a deep ignorance of Western Judeo-Christian culture and its history.

This is more evidence of Obama's socialist agenda for America outlined in his book.

This sort of speech is common among liberals. Justify something done today by pointing out it had occurred in the past. More convoluted liberal logic.

Liberals do not refute that Obama lies. They justify Obama lies by declaring that previous presidents lied.

Obama has a very sick and twisted mind when it comes to the founder's vision for America.

Obama is not an American. He does not understand America. He hates America and will do whatever he can to destroy it. So far, he has been pretty successful. It will only get worse.

His high schooling in Hawaii may as well have been in a foreign land hence his lack of historical knowledge and an upbringing within American morays compounded upon his adolescent upbringing in an anti western land. His ignorance was further fertilized with his association with haters of “white” America and watered with a good dose of marijuana and cocaine.

Obama is and was nothing more than a 3 card monte street wise POS with a pathway to the Whitehouse augmented with his ability to read a teleprompter and manipulate an audience with his fake ghetto drawl.

I’ve never seen one where he seems to be acting strongly AGAINST america’s interests.
I agree 100% ... he thinks, speaks and behaves like a third world despot.
Were we not the United States of America, I'd be very worried about his agenda and our future.

And he is getting exponentially worse. I say this within the context of my tag line.

You really can’t argue with that kind of stupidity and I’ve seen a lot of it lately.

I even saw some idiot point to Jewish praise of Cyrus the great as proof of muslim benevolence. Never mind the fact that the reign of Cyrus the great was some 600 years BC and nearly 1000 years before the birth of Mohammad.

Yeah, it’s not “ignorance”. That’s giving him the benefit of the doubt.

“Barely concealable HATE” is closer to the truth.

The only “ignorance” that accompanies Obama’s hatred for America, Western Civ, and Chriatianity

is on the part of his supporting sheeperals.
They are either willfully ignorant,
or just downright deceitful

when they claim that he doesn’t hate the big three above and seek their total elimination.

Liberalism is stupidity masquerading as intelligence, ignorance masquerading as wisdom, oppression masquerading as freedom.

Quite true and well stated.

Future tagline material.

it's clear something is horribly wrong within Islam.

Change "within" to "with" and the sentence is correct. Islam is not a religion, it is a murder cult. Nothing more and certainly nothing less.

“Ignorance” is way too generous.

It is the standard Muslim, Atheist, Anti-Catholic, meme that’s been going on for centuries.

After 400 years of Muslim attacks, Catholics decided to fight back.

When Obama intentionally distorts the truth he knows, it is then a LIE!

Just living the American dream.

Muslim Killer on Disability and Food Stamps had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property
Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common. The only reason it came to light is because the Muslim settler committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.

The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn't too disabled to kill.

BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughter’s husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.

<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents’ Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.

The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.

Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.

The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:

<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,

<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,

<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.

The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim family’s alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.

Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.

And that’s not all. Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the Irwin Keel home.

Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.

He read what was put on the monitor. An investigation into his handlers is manditory. Who are his speech writers. We all know how lazy he is. —too lazy to pre-read a speech? Or did he write it himself?
Regardless whomever wrote it is a danger to our nation
