Imam Obama comes out at the National Prayer Breakfast
2015-02-08
'€œSo it is not unique to one group or one religion,'€ Obama said. '€œThere is a tendency in us, a simple tendency that can pervert and distort our faith.'€

Imam Obama'€™s words were an insult to Christians and the Christian faith, dressed to kill in the kind of rhetoric you would expect from an imam holding forth at a mosque, but never at the White House.

There were 3,600 in attendance, including those of other faiths. Not one of them rose in defense to set the record straight when Obama talked about the '€œterrible deeds committed by people in the name of Christ'€.
And that, to me, is most troublesome.

#10  Not to mention (cause he didn't) the terrible deeds done by socialism in the 20th Century* (100 million dead and still counting), yet he remains on the high horse of socialism/Marxism/redistrubutionism.

* within human lifespan, not something several hundred years in the past.

#8  According to Obama terrible deeds are committed in the name of religions

Of course. And it's not out of order to point that out.

The controversy was phrasing it in language that's generally used when talking to and among leftists. It's not the first time. At the very least, Mr. Obama was inarticulate. At the worst, he was using his speech to cater to certain domestic sectors (political and the most likely reason,) and foreign interests.

#4  According to Obama terrible deeds are committed in the name of religions.

Yet there's a moral obligation to condemn criticism of any religion that is deemed insulting or blasphemous by said religion.

Religions can be evil, but criticism of any religion is always immoral.

This does not make sense.
