Are all Muslims on a Global Crusade to kill Christians.

did I say they were?

I'm just worried about ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, Al shibab, and any other affiliates. All of the above have killed hundreds of thousands in the last 15 years. Funny that planned parenthood don't worry me.

Yes -..

Are they?

My post on here earlier was that In my opinion Obama had plummeted to student chat room level of debate on the matter of Islamic extremism, when harking back to the Crusades, the inquisition and yes the KKK , if he referenced them.

But he's an amateur compared to your good self.

But why bother? It's irrelevant.

Because he was at a religious event where traditionally they talk about faith in society. Obama chose to talk about fundamentalism and referenced Christian examples as well. The right-wing media in America were, as usual, outraged.

Or people are trying to find ways to be offended.

There is nothing factually wrong in what he said and it's legitimate within the context of the topic he had chosen to talk about. The part of the speech itself was dealing with the fact that this is nothing new and it's then that he also added in examples of his own religion, Christianity, to the discussion.

The speech is rather long. The entire context is here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-...ayer-breakfast. It's about two to three lines that people have isolated out from the context and got angry about.

It's a nothing story.

But it's just so sixth form. He was badly advised

I can't argue with that logic.

We should tell the global coalition in Iraq and Syria to pull out immediately and come and sort our traffic, and head over to the mid- west of the states and sort them out too.

Congratulations you've brought this thread to whole new level of stupid I have rarely witnessed.

Thousands of British Muslims protest

I actually found this pretty poor, they said the condemn the murders but not enough to protest about it, just the cartoons, not only are their priorities wrong so is their sense of public reaction, there was a real opportunity to build some bridges here.

Not just irrelevant and badly advised but factually incorrect to...

Jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS) have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, the local police chief says.

Exactly who these people were and why they were killed is not clear, but Col Qasim al-Obeidi said he believed some were members of the security forces.

There animals pure and simple.

Hmm isn't Al Baghdadi the leader of IS, strange coincidence and with a bit of luck he'll be dead soon anyway
