The ISIS group has taken their campaign of evil. Over the weekend ISIS released a new video showing the brutal beheading of 21 Christians. In the video the militants refer to the Christian victims as “crusaders/” This horrific event took place just a few days after President Barack Obama brought up the crusades during the Nation Prayer Breakfast meeting. Could the President’s comments have anything to do with the executions?
In the horrific video released on Sunday, a masked ISIS militant address the camera in English, saying (via The Associated Press):
“All crusaders: safety for you will be only wishes, especially if you are fighting us all together. Therefore we will fight you all together. The sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama Bin Laden’s body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood.”
This comes just a few days after the President brought up the Crusades during his speech at the 2015 National Prayer Breakfast meeting, stating:
“Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. 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. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Michelle and I returned from India -- an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent diversity -- but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs -- acts of intolerance that would have shocked Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.”
