Bishop
Jackson To Obama: ‘Frankly Sir, You Ought To Close Your
Mouth’
Argues
the Crusades began in 1096 in response to Islam conquering
the Holy Land.
There
has been strong reaction to President Barack Obama’s remarks
at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday when he
compared the murderous acts being committed by Islamic
terrorist groups and centuries-ago Christian campaigns.
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.
The
founder of StandAmerica, Bishop E. W.
Jackson, told Elizabeth Hasselbeck on Friday morning’s Fox
and Friends that he had a message for President
Obama:
I
have a message for the president with all due respect to
him and to the office: Mr. President, if you don’t want
to give terrorists a recruitment’s tool, instead of
closing Guantanamo Bay, frankly sir, you ought to
close your mouth. Because you just gave them a
gigantic propaganda tool. They called us ‘crusaders’
and you just confirmed it.
The
Bishop went on to slam President Obama for defending Islam
over American Christians.
Mr.
President, we’re not on our ‘high horse.’ What we are is
on high alert. And the American people would like for
once, to know that you are willing to defend
Christianity and defend America instead of defending
Islam.
The
veteran Marine explained when and why the Crusades were
conducted:
I
would remind the president that the Crusades began in
1096 as a response to Islamic aggression and the fact
that they had conquered the Holy Land and they were
oppressing Eastern Christians. And there was a response
to that. So, if the president is even going to cite that
as an example, then he ought to get his history
complete.
Bishop
Jackson called out Obama for not using the words “Radical
Islam.”
This
president does everything he possibly can to defend
Islam and does almost nothing to defend the honor of
this country. And yes, once again, he’s giving them
exactly what they want. And you know, Elizabeth, they’re
laughing at us because all they see it as, is a sign of
weakness. And America needs to operate from strength.
Jackson
concluded his comments with a strong message to
Christians:
Pray
for our president. I think he’s deeply misguided and
confused. Pray for our country. We need leaders who will
defend the integrity of our nation.
