In the wake of the burning alive of the Jordanian Air Force Pilot by the ISIS, the US President Barak Obama delivered a speech in the Prayer Breakfast Party where he compared the ISIS gruesome murders to the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades and the slavery in the US.

This study seeks to address the power, and rather danger, of contextualizing religion and history as an 'excuse-provision mechanism.'
