Robertson Finds Radical Muslims 'Satanic' By SONJA BARISIC, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 56 minutes ago



NORFOLK, Va. - Television evangelist Pat Robertson said Monday on his live news-and-talk program "The 700 Club" that Islam is not a religion of peace, and that radical Muslims are "satanic."

Robertson's comments came after he watched a news story on his Christian Broadcasting Network about Muslim protests in Europe over the cartoon drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.

He remarked that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoons "just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with."

Robertson also said that "the goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, is world domination."

1. That's interesting. I find Pat Robertson satanic.

2. So much for the right trying to shut him up.

Shame they're having so much difficulty. Yup, a crying shame.

3. what a hypocrite

This man boycots anything that disagrees with his religion and now he has a problem with that behavior.

4. Robertson finds there's big money in pseudo Christianity.

And, has proved he's right on that score. Hallelujah! Pass the basket.

5. Interesting how intolerance is repulsed by intolerance

Islam means submission to God. A Muslim is to be modest in his/her dress, to practice acts of charity and kindness, to forgive and forgive again. Funny, but I've been called a "good Christian" by many who don't know my faith; I take it as a compliment, as the Teachings are the Teachings-they just come via a different messenger.

I find it interesting that Rev. Robertson condemns an entire faith by the actions of a few radicals; I wonder if he would consider it fair if a non-Christian did the same thing with Christianity?

Oh BTW, the "world domination" thing is way overblown. We Sufis aren't even allowed to try and convert anyone, and we're a peaceful lot, by and large. Our way of "domination" is to make friends with everyone, to be tolerant of everyone, "....making the whole of humanity as one single family in the Parenthood of God."

6. And I find Robertson to be "a bag of maggot-riddled monkeyshit."

Let history decide who's correct. (hint: it's me)

7. Watch a video of the Phelps clan and then let's characterize Xians.

8. Robertson is an idiot... n/t

10. i bet everytime he makes one of these well thought out comments he raises

$$$$$. I think he plans what he'll say very carefully.

[bobbieinok]

11. and I say

the rage of 'christians' over paintings and books that they do not like is 'demonic'

and the goal of radical dominionist 'christians' is world domination

******


I do NOT understand how anyone can take such comments seriously ..... a clear case of 'pot calling kettle black'

12. Why doesn't he protest and foam at the mouth with

that graven image thing? After all, it is in the Ten Commandments.
Yet when the Islamists, and not all should be painted as radical, protest these cartoons, that most people previously knew to be a sensitive subject, they are condemned by his selective judgment.

13. Sadly, Robertson is speaking pure, orthodox Christianity

Not necessarily to be confused with Orthodox Christianity :hi:

But the New Testament is very, very clear: You are either with Christ and therefore with God, or you are with Satan.

14. How ironic!

:D
