‘Duck Dynasty’ Star: They Told Us To Stop Praying To Jesus, Don’t Offend Muslims (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 9, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Phil Robertson, the patriarch of AMC’s mega-hit show “Duck Dynasty”, said recently the family was told to quit praying to Jesus because it might offend Muslims.

Robertson told Sports Spectrum:

So when we pray we say “In Jesus name, Amen.” …It’s a very good idea, I think. So, they would have me say, “Thank you Lord for the food. Thank you for the blessings. Amen.” So, I said, “Why would you cut out ‘in Jesus name?’” And they said, “Well, these editors they think they don’t want to offend some Muslims or something.”

Via Free Patriot:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

From the video: In an interview with sports spectrum magazine Willie & Phil Robertson, stars of Duck Dynasty, talk about fake bleeps, praying in Jesus’ name, and getting flack from Christians. When the editors of Duck Dynasty asked the stars to stop saying “In Jesus Name” during prayers because it might offend Muslims, Phil Robertson had to stand his ground.

This crap never went on before the normalization of Islamo-fascists in our society.

Yes it did. I am from the northeast, where it hit earlier and harder. Madelyn Murray O'Hare (sp?) didn't think of Muslims one way or the other. Also, although the producers might not have wanted to say it, many Jews (both observant and non-observant) are also uncomfortable hearing the name of Jesus uttered in public media.

I like it for two reasons...

1) My kids can watch it without me keeping one finger on the remote's "off" button.

2) I grew up sitting around the kitchen table with people just like those on the show. It's like going home. :-)

It's good to see a show that professes conservative values do well. One would think that TV execs would take note of its success and provide more programming like it.

They just seemed pretty normal to me.

Rednecks with surplus cash can be entertaining. When was the last time you watched a drag race between to limos covered in camo?

Or combined driving golf balls with shooting trap:


Two hit golf balls then two shoot the same balls

I wish I got the kind of money they’re getting

I read somewhere that the entire cast only gets something like $200K / show. Divided up, that's not much.

HOWEVER, the weekly 1/2 hour, plus re-runs, of free advertising for their product is pretty much priceless. "Redneck" doesn't equate to "dumb". :-) :-) :-)

Yep, can’t ignore the “Redneck Moooooslems” segment of their viewing public, you know.

All three of them (maybe).

Mooslemons ain’t got time for duck calls. They’re too busy huntin’ us Christians.

You’d think from all their hate, they’d realize the “master” is satan himself.

It’s not that I didn’t like the show, I’m just burned out on “reality” shows. They are all the same to me now. It’s kind of like those “funniest videos” shows. It didn’t take long before the videos were all being staged and weren’t funny anymore.

My response would consist of two words and then a mention of the animal conveyance on which they arrived ... followed in thought by “Lord, please forgive me”.

I don't believe it is "Muslims" complaining. I'd wager it's the same pu$$y, candy-a$$ed liberals that are perpetually "offended" by the name Jesus.

Everyone knows the kind of people who are doing this. Douchbag loser pointy headed "intellectual" atheists. Jesus is a prophet in Islam. His name is Issa. Yes, like as in Darryl Issa.

I don’t understand why that answer is not easy.
A simple “NO” anytime someone is offended by (fill-in-the-blank).

“take down that American flag”
“uh, no”

“take down those ten commandments”
“uh, no”

“stop praying to Jesus”
“uh, no”

The Gospel according to John 14:13-14 And whatever you ask in My name ,that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name,I will do it.” Yup there it is written in Scriptures and it do seem like a pretty good idea. For the Hollyweird sorts America was NOT established by Muslims—but by Christians so if the Muslims come here they ought live by our rules not try to make us to be like them and “Slay them”)Anyone who is not part o four particular Islamic sect (”where ever you find them”) as is found in their bloody holy book.

Forgot to mention that Terry Bradshaw was backup to Phil when they attended college together.

“Uh” indicates an even momentary hesitation, for which is utterly unnecessary.

They have to understand that the fact they pray to Jesus every episode is the REASON people watch it. It is the reason the show is so popular.
You can tune to any station and see drunken people partying in bars and having one night sex and foul-mouthed shows BLEEPING every other word from queers and dragqueens.
I like looking at pretty girls just as much as the next guy. But I don’t want to see a drunken hoochie with her twat almost thrust directly into the camera, partying and drinking and glorifying man-sex.

This show has had ONE... yes ONE ‘bleep’ for a curse word the entire series. They pray to God and Jesus together at dinner every episode.... and its the most popular show on TV. Who woulda thunk it?
