Crosstalk: February 11, 2015
Pamela Geller is the founder, editor and publisher of PamelaGeller.com and President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and Stop Islamization of America (SIOA). She is the author of The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America, Freedom or Submission: On the Dangers of Islamic Extremism and American Complacency and also Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance. She is also a regular columnist for World Net Daily, the American Thinker, Breitbart.com and other publications. Last week at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama told listeners that during the Crusades and Inquisition people did terrible deeds in the name of Christ. Pamela believes this is proof that our president is siding with the jihadi force. The idea that he has no problem citing Christian motives to the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition (which were a response to Islamic jihad war, land appropriations, cultural annihilation and enslavement) but cannot make that same claim to the jihad we see today speaks volumes about his heart. She also noted that today we don't see anyone slaughtering, maiming, amputating, and setting alight non-Christians, we don't see Christians screaming that Christ is the greatest, yet we see this behavior every day in the Muslim world. President Obama also alleges that Islam has been hijacked. Pamela pointed to the fact that jihadists are quoting the Quran by chapter and verse and using Mohammed as their perfect example. So why didn't President Obama say that 1,000 years ago Christianity was being hijacked? Instead he cited slavery and Jim Crow as though these things were sanctioned in the name of Christ while omitting the current slavery of non-Muslims in Muslim countries.
