Right out of the klintoon playbook. Nice sellout. Gee, and that took less than a week. Stay tuned, all you brainwashed clods who no longer critically judge your leaders. Sounds like the apple dumpling gang could stand to take Robertsons words to heart (kinda funny he lumps together the administration WITH the media):
"Please see what the mullahs are teaching the little children in Palestine and in other parts of the world about you. And when you get through, do us a favor, don't criticize your friends, but see who your real enemies are," Robertson said.
Islam does not recognize a government being valid unless it is religiously based. Islamic leaders are doing what they do in the name of both religion and government. This lack of checks and balances is part of why Islam is so dangerous.
Not only here on FreeRepublic, but I will take my precious time and write letters to editor (even tho they won't be printed) and even make phone calls to talk shows (which I hate, because I don't speak well...my voice trembles and I sound stupid)
Freepers, we must do God's work and support Robertson here!
I have had several Muslim students in my classes, and they are by no means monolithic. Some Pakistanis like us a great deal; most Saudis don't. (I know: why they hell don't they leave?) But think of it this way. How many "Catholics" in this country practice birth control? Are they still "Catholics?" They say they are---they just don't agree with the Church over that issue. You can make the same case with ANY Protestant church. I was born a Baptist, but I (gasp!) danced! So what the religion SAYS, and what some/most/many of the adherents BELIEVE it says are two different things.
Given that, Robertson is 100% correct about what Islam SAYS.
Excuse me, but exactly where in the NEW TESTAMENT does it say that?? Christianity takes its governing ethos from the NEW TESTAMENT, remember, not the OLD.
Unfortunately, the Muslim religion doesn't have a new testament, and they have NOT foregone the fundamentally violent core of the religion of Mohammed.

So what? Doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of terrorists are muslims. I'm so sick of the PC, boot-licking, sucking up for the suppoesedly peaceful muslims, who have not said a friggin' word. I'm sick of it.
This is just as bad as labling Christians as the reason for Timothy McVeigh.
Do you realize how flawed that analogy is? McVeigh was raised a Catholic, but from everything I read, he never went to mass after his confirmation.
Keep beating this drum Pat. The truth is out there. Some day the public at large will have to toss aside their ridiculous adherence to moral equivelency (a.k.a. "multiculturalism" or "celbrating diversity"), and admit what you're saying.
The sort of hatred countless holocaust studies programs have insisted should never be allowed to happen again is happening again throughout the Muslim world. The question people should be asking themselves now is, what will you do with this information? How will you distinguish yourselves from the passive response given when it was the Nazis targetting the Jews? If speaking out against it when we stand in a position of power and relative security is so fearful and distasteful, what sort of resistance can truly be expected in more difficult times?
They are not just violent but fanatical too.
Would you riot in the streets and threaten death over some foreigner's blasphemy?
The tendency toward encouraging violence actually increases in the Quran as Mohammed matured.
As a Christian, I find, in the Old Testament, several historic accounts of the Hebrews when a tribal people, believing God to have ordered them to wage genocide against their enemies; I find also several impreccatory Psalms calling for the destruction of their enemies. However, as the revelation of Scripture advances, moving onward to Jesus Christ, I find a much more consistent ethic of peace. Is there still ambiguity in some of the sayings of Jesus, in the presentation of Christ in the Apocalypse? To be sure. Jesus says he has not come to bring peace, but conflict. Jesus is presented as a conquering warrior in the Apocalypse. However, the great bulk of the New Testament truly sees in Jesus of Nazareth the prince of peace and a call to labor for the peaceable kingdom.
There is no parallel between the Quran calling for conversion by violence and terrorism and the Scriptures of the Christian. Jesus told Peter when defending him to put away his sword. Would that our Muslim friends do the same.
Could you please cite the scripture you are refering to? I know there were specific battles against pagan societies where children were being sacrificed, et al that God gave that instruction, but where is the instruction to kill anyone that was not Jewish? I guarantee you, it's not there.
