Barry lends support to the theory that Barry really just doesn't understand Easter and Christianity

The president's Easter message was a mixed-up olio of concepts that do not mix well, and mostly it gave solid evidence that Barry simply doesn't understand Easter. Or maybe even Christianity. At least he gave an Easter message this year, something he doesn't always do. Even if it showed he doesn't fully grasp the concept:

Obama said this time of year is a good time to remember the “common thread of humanity that connects us all – not just Christians and Jews, but Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs – is our shared commitment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.”

 Easter is, specifically, when Christians honor the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for all mankind and acknowledge that, after that sacrifice of his life so that our sins might be forgiven, he was raised from the dead and ascended to Heaven. Jews don't believe that. Muslims don't believe that. Hindus and Sikhs don't believe that. Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the central tenet of the Christian faith. Barry apparently doesn't get that. And please don't talk to me about how Muslims value loving thy neighbor:

Qur’an (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

There's worse stuff in the Koran about Jews and other infidels. Can we just leave other religions out of Easter messages, especially when what you are saying about some of those other religions is just fucking wrong? Not, apparently, if you are this president.
