Obama’s one-time top jihad apologist also claims slavery and Jim Crow were done in the name of Christianity.
JOSHUA DUBOIS: “A conservative audience. I thought it was a really important statement. You know, the president did a great job, I think, of drawing a distinction between those who misuse religion in the name of evil, and the religion, the faith itself. And he said, ‘Listen, all faiths have experience with those who twist and manipulate the words of the prophet for their own evil ends.’ Whether in the Crusades or folks who participated in slavery or Jim Crow. Now we have ISIS doing the same thing. The president was basically saying, ‘this is not Islam. ISIS represents American Muslims, no more than the crusaders or slaveholders represent Christianity.’ Particularly because a lot of Americans don’t know their Muslim neighbors, who haven’t spent a lot of time with the Muslim-American folks in the community. And the president, I think, wanted to make clear that what we’re seeing with ISIS does not at all reflect on Muslims around the the world.”
