If he didn't realize the connotations and meaning of 'the Crusades' to Muslims and it's potential effects, should he be holding the highest office in the world?
Or was he being blatantly provocative?

Given the thought process that went into the occupation of Iraq and complete disregard of Iraq's history, I guess he failed history thus has no idea that the term Crusade would offend anyone.

Politics is a pastime performed with ability very plenty as a chess pastime. there is greater happening in any respect circumstances than maximum human beings comprehend. What surprises me is the shown fact that it has long previous this a techniques into the election 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previously some thing has come alongside that he has had the could desire to preserve himself on. Racism is going in greater advantageous than one course in this us of a, even with the shown fact that that's greater ideal while somebody who's a minority makes Racist Statements. even with the shown fact that I do have faith that any minister who states "God damn usa" in this us of a could desire to be searching for different employment the next day. Damning some thing or somebody is the comparable as hating or killing, that's against God's Commandments and could be sufficient to eliminate them from the pulpit whether or not they're racist or not. If the opposition is clever, (and to get to this point you may desire to be, or a minimum of surrounded by ability of clever people who pass over not something), this could be used each and every of how until election day in November.

American presidents have always been speaking in this vein! It's part of their tradition. Woodrow Wilson called the U.S. the Christ Nation!! and said it had a righteous mission in the world to spread democracy and thus got us into WWI just when it was about to be a stalemate between France and Germany and die a natural death. Our taking sides tipped the balance and had the happy effect of prolonging the agony and suffering of the battle fields almost 2 more years,effecting the humiliating defeat and posterior starvation of Germany under the draconian conditions enforced by Treaty of Versailles. This inevitably lead to the rise of Hitler and WWII.
BEWARE THE CRUSADERS OF THIS WORLD!!(especially when backed by U.S. military might)

Because the Crusades happened in the past, most Christians disregard their impact, just as many white Americans claim that slavery in America is not worthy of conversation and is irrelevant because they never owned a slave.

Since he doesn't write his speeches I doubt that he actually comprehends what he is saying anyway.

This happened years ago. Get over it and move on. It was just an unfortunate choice of words.
