Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson on ISIL: ‘Convert them or kill them’
Politico ^ | 09/04/2014 | By JONATHAN TOPAZ

“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has a prescription for how to handle Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants: “Convert them or kill them.”

Appearing on Fox News on Tuesday evening, the reality television personality quoted several verses from the Bible and asked why ISIL harbors hatred for the U.S. even as the military has increasingly withdrawn from the region.

Host Sean Hannity argued that ISIL is “at war with us” and creates a significant threat to the U.S. and Israel, regardless of how the Obama administration or the American people view the group.

“You either have to convert them — which I think would be next to impossible. I’m not giving up on them, but I’m just saying, either convert them or kill them,” Robertson responded, likening ISIL militants to “street thugs on steroids.”

RE: National Review has kicked its own a$$ so many times since Buckley died, it hardly makes a difference.

Ann Coulter was kicked out of the National Review when Bill Buckley was still alive.

Listen to the whole video. That is his first choice and mine also but he is a realist about it..................

Yes you are correct, you can't force a Christian conversion because the change is Spiritual that only God genuinely recognizes. Anything physical can be fraudulent.

My answer concerned a complete assimilation into Western civilization which would be a total rejection of sectarian Islam (Which ever their flavor is). The only spark that would completely take them out of Spiritual bondage is Christ. Hence, the 3 options.

Islam has a way of adapting to and excusing "infidel" behavior as a way of releasing steam, but still maintaining the violent precepts of Islam goals. Just observe the behavior and "Spiritual" clemency the Mullahs authorized to the boozed up 9-11 hijackers that had a fondness for strippers (It was not just an exercise to "blend in).
