NEW YORK - Despite the efforts of President Obama and various Islamic scholars to deny that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's ISIS movement has anything to do with Islam, Baghdadi bases his army's brutal tactics on sacred Islamic texts dating back to the time of Muhammad, as well as the Quran, that call for beheading and the burning to death of Muslims who betray Islam, such as was done to a captured Jordanian pilot. According to a medieval Islamic scholar, a letter written by the first caliph to succeed Muhammad after the founder's death in A.D. 632, Abu Bakr, states Muhammad "struck whoever turned his back to him until he came to Islam, willingly or grudgingly."
MUHAMMAD PROMISED REGARDING ANYONE WHO ABANDONED ISLAM, ABU BAKR SAID, TO "BURN THEM WITH FIRE, SLAUGHTER THEM BY ANY MEANS, AND TAKE WOMEN AND CHILDREN CAPTIVE."
Meanwhile, at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, Obama called ISIS a "death cult," not an Islamic movement.
"We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends," he said, reinforcing the White House's insistence that the ISIS execution of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, 26, was a "barbaric" act that had nothing to do with Islam.
In an apparent effort to advance his argument, Obama cited historical examples of violence committed in the name of Jesus Christ that were antithetical to the core principles of Christianity.
"Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.
"So it is not unique to one group or one religion," he continued. "There is a tendency in us, a simple tendency that can pervert and distort our faith."
