Evil has never been absent in the world, but sheer evil has reappeared in the actions – "no why here" – in recent months of two Islamist extremist groups: Hamas in Gaza, and ISIS or ISIL in Iraq and Syria. The extent of the evil of the two groups differs in the number of overt actions, but the intent to fulfill their objectives is similar. Hamas has openly declared its main objective: to kill Jews and eliminate the State of Israel. ISIS has established a brutal Islamic caliphate in the areas it has conquered and is engaged in pursuing a war of jihad.

Got into a debate with a Lib about mussie atrocities and he had to reach way back in history and came up with “Well what about the Crusaders?” First time I looked like a deer in the headlights ....
Not only are all cultures NOT equal - but some are so inferior they would be laughable under different circumstances...
Hussein-Obama consistently calls it ISIL, not ISIS, which telegraphs to those who really hear his words, that he believes Israel is part of the Islamic state.
ISIL includes all territory from southern Turkey and Lebanon through Syria, as I recall.
It’s not “Arab” crimes against humanity - it’s MUSLIM crimes against humanity.
REMEMBER not ALL Arabs are MUSLIMS and not all MUSLIMS are Arabs.
For example, in Israel, many Lefties (those that are still around) used to harp on Bibi Netanyahu's policies. In arguments where they were bested, they'd immediately jump to attack his wife and how ugly and stupid she was, (she is considered his soft underbelly for criticism).
So, when they have no serious argument they attack his wife's purchase of a lawn furniture set for example or other unrelated issues. The Israeli press does this frequently. Whent they have no dirt on him, they go after his wife, Sarah.
Now once I cornered a Lefty about Bibi and she said in anger and frustration, “Oh! and how he smokes that damn cigar”!
He is known for smoking one every now and then but what she was really saying was, is that he acts like a fat, Capitalist, tycoon type elitist. I asked her what the connections from the cigar to his policies are and she had no answer.
Here's the answer - this is what you should have said:
"Yes, at various times in history some "Christian" groups were taken over by evil. Evil is real. If I was back in that time I would be speaking out against that evil and would probably be burned at the stake. But I'm not 'back in that time' I'm in this time. In our time the primary evil we're dealing with is Radical Islam - in all it's filthy forms... from ISIS on down." Then look at the person and ask, "are you willing to stand with me against the evil of our time?"
Why don’t we just add the name Obama to Hamas and ISIS. He aids them at every turn.
As we say in Australia, I was gob-smacked. The idiot had to go back to the Crusades to show how Christianity was just as violent. I had the answers but they just couldn’t come - I was incredulous.
I think “Dude, that was like 1000 years ago. We’re talking about today!” should suffice.
No, those types really believe that any ‘mistake’ at any time in history makes all things equal. They need to be told they’re fools.
