POTUS promotes the Black Legends

thought that the POTUS had mistaken Black 
History Month for Catholic Black Legends 
Month; “Unless we get off our high horse...
during the Crusades and Inquisition, 
people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”

(Catholic Black Legends is the propaganda
 that demonises Catholicism). 

But, then this subscriber remembered Obama's 
pledge to defend Islam; On June 4, 2009, at Cairo
 University, Mr. Obama promised , “And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

But there was never any such promise to fight 
negative stereotypes of Catholicism, was there?

So, as usual in these United States, if a Catholic 
desires the truth be known, he must make it known 
on his own.

  The Crusades were defensive wars against militaristic Islam and those defensive wars were not mounted until after four centuries of murder and mayhem inflicted by Islam against  pacific Catholics and which evil aggression by Islam resulted in the capture and  possession of over two-thirds of the old Catholic Christian world (Thomas F. Madden, “The Real History 
of the Crusades").

Does The POTUS think defensive wars are indefensible?

The Inquisition: It's prolly best to begin at the beginning, with Moses, the first, and deadliest, inquisitor.

Moses, the 1st inquisitor ordered killed 23 thousand one day (Exodus 32)

Moses, the 1st Inquisitor, ordered killed 24 thousand one day (Numbers 25). 

Forty Seven Thousand ordered killed by The First Inquisitor, Moses, in two days.

Non-Catholic historian Edward Peters:, in his work, "Inquisition" (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989, p. 87), 

The Spanish Inquisition, in spite of wildly inflated estimates of the numbers of its victims, acted with considerable restraint in inflicting the death penalty, far more restraint than was demonstrated in secular tribunals elsewhere in Europe that dealt with the same kinds of offenses. The best estimate is that around 3000 death sentences were carried out in Spain by Inquisitorial verdict between 1550 and 1800, a far smaller number than that in comparable secular courts.

 I doubt one in one hundred million Catholic Christians, say nothing about non-Catholics, know the facts about Moses as the first Inquisitor and how his record compares unfavorably to Frey Tomas De Tourquemada, about whom the vast majority of Catholics are ignorant and so they consider it funny to hear his name and reputation continually blackened

A William Thomas Walsh notes, Moses put to death, in the name of religion, a far greater number of human beings than Torquemada did. Yet his name has been venerated by orthodox Jews and Roman Catholics alike, and always will be, while that of the Dominican monk has become a stench in the nostrils of the modern world, and a symbol of something indefensible. ("Characters of the Inquisition.")

The people of these United States are ill-served by a POTUS who promotes The Black Legends as part of his pledge to "fight negative stereotypes of Islam."
