Comparison between Islamic and Christian barbarity

[QuickSilver]

It always amazes me how Republicans can hear a speech and come away with something entirely different than the rest of us.. Didn't hear one tiny bit of what sounded like "butt sucking"... I heard someone talking about reality.. and making sense. BUT then again... I didn't have my bias and hatred hearing aid in.

About the overreaction to the speech by the religious right. http://www.politicususa.com/2015/02/07/radical-cant-handle-truth-president-obama.html

The President infuriated the Christian right during the National Prayer Breakfast when he said that no particular religion “has a monopoly on violence.”

His exact words were, “And lest 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. Slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”

Of course the President spoke the truth, albeit a grossly understated truth, but it incited the Christian right to apoplexy as if he had insulted their god almighty to his face.
