At the recent National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama made some comments that have caused concern in the Christian community. The President used inflammatory language that implied a moral equivalency between the Christian Crusaders and the modern Islamic terrorists, in particular, ISIS. In this episode of A Plain Answer we look at the Crusades and quote some of the best historians who are experts on the Crusades. We also briefly discuss the Inquisition and slavery. Our guest is the former Senior Pastor at Westminster Presbyterian Church, and also used to teach world religions at SUNY New Paltz. He helps us sort out the rhetoric and make sense of the facts. Participants: Dr. John Vance, Dan Elmendorf
