President Barack Obama's comparison of the Crusades to the burning alive of a Jordanian pilot by the Islamic State (ISIS) shows he is biased against Christianity, said the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND).
"What's happening with radical Islamic terrorists right now has nothing to do with Christianity," Peterson said Thursday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on
Newsmax TV.

"You don't see Christians going around beheading people, killing young children, hanging them on crosses like they're doing in Iraq right now."
Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, in Washington, D.C., Obama compared the extreme barbarity of the Islamic State to the Crusades, in which horrifying acts were carried out a thousand years ago in the name of Jesus Christ.
Peterson, host of syndicated radio program, "The Jesse Lee Peterson Show," said:
"I have been saying for the last six years that Barack Obama is not a Christian. I don't know of any time where he has defended Christianity. He is quick to go against Christianity instead of defending it.
"I know of many times where he has defended Islam, and we can't even get Barack Obama to admit that ISIS is an Islamic terrorist group who wants to kill the Christians and Jews because they think that we are infidels … In my personal opinion, Barack Obama hates Christianity."
Peterson also criticized Black History Month as "a racist month."
"The only thing that it does is it divides the races even more so rather than uniting them," he said.
