[Barack Obama said, "[R]emember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often were justified in the name of Christ."]

First the truth on the Crusades, as I've mentioned in the past:

- The Crusades were a delayed response for CENTURIES of Muslim aggression, that grew ever fiercer in the 11th Century. The Muslims focused on Christians and Jews...forcing conversions, plundering and mortally wounding apostates. The Crusades were a DEFENSIVE action, and a response against Jihad, which is obligatory against non-Muslims entering "Muslim lands'". (Muslim lands are any lands invaded and conquered by Islam.)

- The motives of the Crusaders were pure. They were jihad-provoked and not imperialistic actions against a "peaceful," native Muslim population.

- The Islamic world ripped through the Christian world on a bloody Jihad crusade to propagate Islam. Muslim imperialistic conquest wars were launched for more than 1,500 years against hundreds of nations and over millions of square miles (larger than the British Empire at its peak). The Jihad crusade went from southern France to the Philippines, from Austria to Nigeria, and from central Asia to New Guinea.

Second, as far as terrible deeds committed "in the name of Christ":

- When Muslims commit violent Jihad in Allah's name, according to the Quran (as ISIS, et al, does), they are being true to Islamic doctrine and reflecting the character of Islam's founder Muhammed.

- The same CANNOT be said of Biblical Christians. If a so-called Christian commits a violent act and attempts to justify it in the name of Jesus and claims the New Testament, he is NOT reflecting the character of Christianity's founder NOR can his actions be supported by the New Testament.

Thirdly, Slavery:

- Slavery was not the product of White men or Christians, but rather the work of Arab Muslims (who still utilize it today in Africa).

- The Abolitionists, who ended Slavery, were in FACT Christians. The man responsible for ending Slavery in England? A Christian by the name of William Wilberforce.

[...]

And finally, Jim Crow:

- Jim Crow Laws were a Southern Democrat response to Republican President Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation. It was NOT a Christian action. The Christians were the Abolitionists. They ended slavery. So any reference to Christians and Jim Crow Laws, is patently deceitful.
