Pat Robertson stirs up debate (Islam is not a peaceful religion)

[TLBSHOW]

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.

"My tuition shouldn't be used for this event. I don't think it should go to pay for hate speech."

Translation from liberalese: TRUTH = HATE SPEECH or the more ridiculous version, "God Is Hate".

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

I read that the Talibanannas in Ashcanistan all had boys to fiddle about with like Uncle Earnies. Muslims are Satanists and may are homos as well. You say Al Kay-dah, I say Al Ky-dah, let's wipe the whole thing out.

TLB, this persecution you wish for is evil.

There is nothing to justify persecuting, peaceful, innocent people for their faith.

You can't do it and wrap yourself in Christianity and you can't do it and wrap yourself in the Constitution.

Fact is, you can't justify it, period.

"My tuition shouldn't be used for this event. I don't think it should go to pay for hate speech."

He wants all of his tuition money to go to speakers of left wing drivel. He's all for free speech as long as he agrees with what's being said.

Typical intolerant liberal dope.

"students, who support gay and lesbian rights, decided to make fun of Robertson instead of staging a serious protest because Robertson's ideas aren't worth being taken seriously."

Well, considering that Robertson's ideas and teachings come directly form the Bible, I guess these fruit fairies have made it known that they don't consider God's word worth taking seriously.

We have laws to deal with terrorists & conspirators..

Aside from that however, the right of Americans to worship (within these laws) is absolute.

[inflorida]

Our troops are in Iraq to disarm Saddam and remove him from power only for the safety of Americans. The liberation of the Iraqi people is just an added bonus to this war.

"People don't really buy his views, at least no one I talk to."

Sounds like this Muslim fairy needs to expand his circle of friends and associates.

Islam = Religion of HATE!

"Are you familiar with the Crusades?" the student replied, to which several members of the audience applauded.

You mean the battle to reclaim lands seized by Islamo-fascist invasion and to liberate the oppressed peoples held under the yoke of Islamic tyranny?

Yes, I'm familiar with the Crusades. Are you familiar with Jihad? You know, that movement which destroyed the World Trade Center a couple years ago?

I have trouble with people who hold grudges for centuries and centuries about things that happened on the other side of the world, but can't remember things that happened just a couple years ago to their own country.

Crusades: a movement to conquer a single city. Jihad: a movement to conquer the entire world.

Go lick the boots of Saddam, fella. If you like Islamo-fascism so much, you should go live under it.

[k2blader]

Well said.

I'd just make a slight revision:

Our troops are in Iraq to disarm Saddam and remove him from power only primarily for the safety of Americans. The liberation of the Iraqi people is just an added bonus to this war.

Funny but sad how people can't handle the Truth.

They don't fear God but they SHOULD!

"Are you familiar with the Crusades?" the student replied, to which several members of the audience applauded.

Yes, I applaud the Crusades, too. Taking Jerusalem was the motivational idea, the real purpose was to stop the destructive spread of Islam westwards.

People don't really buy his views, at least no one I talk to.

"Nixon couldn't have won! No one I know voted for him!"

"There is nothing to justify persecuting, peaceful, innocent people for their faith."

But there is also nothing in the Constitution that suggests that we embrace false religions and elevate them to the same level as the faith upon which this country was built. No, we shouldn't persecute the people if they are adhering to the law. They should be treated the same as everyone else. On the other hand, there was once a time we might have been able to claim ignorance of their evil doctrines, but that is starting to change. A child might try in his ignorance to embrace a viper, not knowing the potential peril, but only a fool would try to embrace a viper knowing it had both the ability and the nature to destroy him.

[thepitts]

Pat Robertson is right, again.

[Jhoffa_]

No, we shouldn't persecute the people if they are adhering to the law. They should be treated the same as everyone else.

Then we are left with nothing to argue about. As I share this same view.

(Sophomore Dan Rakove held a banner that read: "I support free speech, but not free hate."
"I don't agree with paying thousands of dollars for someone who thinks people like me should not be part of his America," Rakove said. "My tuition shouldn't be used for this event. I don't think it should go to pay for hate speech.")

I wonder if this brainwashed college student knows that many Muslim student clubs actively promote Anti-Semitism on the college campuses. It is amazing that the universities look the other way when Muslims commit hate crimes on campuses.

"You mean our troops are dying in Iraq to liberate people who belong to a "bloody cult"?

1.) The troops are fighting and dying to eliminate a threat to this nation.
2.) Liberating the citizens should open the doors to the preaching of the Gospel.

That being said, the freedom of religion in Iraq is probably not as likely as it already is in the Kurd's nation. At least, we may liberate the Iraqis who do not subscribe to the literal Wahabbi interpretation of the Koran. However, Christianity is speading bigtime in Iran under the oppression of the mullahs.
