PRINCETON BOROUGH - The Rev. Pat Robertson spoke from the lectern at Princeton University last night like it was his pulpit, calling students to stand up for their moral convictions and not be swayed by popular culture.

His hair is all gray now, he had surgery in February and is recovering from prostate cancer, but the evangelist showed no signs of wavering last night when he spoke at the invitation of a student group.

Are you familiar with the Crusades?

Yeah....weren't those the wars where Christians decided to try to take back the land they had lost to sabre-slaughtering Muslims?

"I don't agree with paying thousands of dollars for someone who thinks people like me should not be part of his America."

Why? You obviously don't think people like him should be a part of "your" America.

A group of Muslim students held up signs asking: "Do you think American Muslims should be banned from public office? Do you think homosexuals are satanists? Ask Pat Robertson."

Why don't we ask MUSLIMS if they think homosexuals are Satanists?

The world deserves to have Pat Roberson and Jessie Jackson just SHUT UP for a while, maybe the next 30 years or so.

He is right. It isn't a religion of peace.

If the islam cult has it's way there won't be one in 20 years!.....Anyways more from Pat Robertson the truth teller....

He said the Wahabi branch of Islam believes "Jews are descendants of apes and pigs and therefore it's permissible to kill them. This is not a peaceful religion. It's not bigotry to tell the truth. I don't know why telling the truth — history — is bigotry."

He defended the American-led war in Iraq.

"The United States is not an aggressor nation, but we were attacked on Sept. 11. ... We are defending ourselves. ... The fact of the matter is this Saddam Hussein is a terrible person," he said.

He also defended Israel.

"The nations are going to be pressing Israel very hard and I stand with Israel," he said. He laid the blame for violence in the Middle East on the shoulders of "Yasser Arafat and his ilk. They want war. He launched the intifada," the Rev. Robertson said.

"Islam is not a peaceful religion," he said. "The Koran makes it very clear if you see an infidel, you are to kill him. This is not a peaceful religion. It isn't bigotry to tell the truth."

Pat is right.

Some evidence, as kindly provided by nicmarlo:

O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. (al-Ma'idah 5:51.11)

Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. (Sahih Al-Bukhari 9:57)

Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5)

Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. (Koran 69:30-37)

I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them. (Koran 8:12)

They (the unbelievers) should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33)

"Know that paradise is under the shades of swords." (Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55)

Will you re-write the First Amentment, or shall I have to do it myself?

You know, the provision that protects peaceful Christians, Jews, Muslims, Communists, KKK freaks, Druids, Satan worshipers and generally every single one of us who wishes to be able to practice our religion in peace.. Without worries of it someday falling from favor and being persecuted by the state for our beliefs.

Or, would you rather go for broke and have the Federal Government "assign" the "proper" religion for us all?

First there were alarming comments made by President George W. Bush at the Ramadan dinner click here , and now he has spoken out against members of the Christian right who have been outspoken about Islam. Secretary of State Colin Powell has also spoken out against members of the Christian right (see the articles below).

The President mentions fairly often that he represents all people; yes, that is true, but he is also accountable to an Almighty God. Additionally, he must not forget, as a self-professed Christian, he was narrowly elected by the votes—and especially the prayers—of Christians.

Yes, he is in a very difficult position that he inherited from his father, and there is concern over backlash; however, a week after elections he has now spoken against Christian brothers who are sounding the warning signs on Islam (albeit a bit dramatic).

The President’s mantra has been that Islam is a peaceful religion; that a few bad people have hijacked a great religion.

Has the President or Colin Powell forgotten the fact millions of Christians in Muslim nations have lost their lives and are being persecuted for their faith? There is a major disconnect here. Again, this is an attempt to “appease” Muslims.

"America was founded on Bible," he said. "We all have a plan and destiny, a pursuit of happiness to work out in our lives that God made us. That's the genius of America - the pursuit of happiness - and it is directly out of the Bible. Good things come to the U.S. because the country is imbued with biblical principles."

Yeah, what a nut Pat Robertson is. (eyeball roll)

Where's he wrong?

We do not have to accept folks of a religion in our borders who wish us destruction for the most part.

I suppose by your logic, Israel should have harbored all the Odessa Nazis from South America in Israel.
