Robertson pleads for scrutiny of Koran

It's better to leave politics and international relations to those who are talented in those areas.

Yes, its better to leave international relations in the hands of the "talented" who were (and probably still are) aghast at Reagan naming the Soviet Union an Evil Empire.

Sorry, been there, done that during the Cold War. This current war is no different. The "talented" want to do things their way, according to which how things are done is more important than results, style more important than concrete gains.

And if Robertson has actually read the text of the Koran, he is more of an expert than the entire State Department.

There is a reason why many in the West do not read the Qu'ran. (Note my PC Spelling?)

It is the goddamdest mishmash and non-sequential hodgepodge of hossshoe ever committed to paper and gives Westerners a headache.

Oh yeah, it also advises Muslims to kill,maim,convert, degrade, tax, enslave, and otherwise be nasty to infidels. But only on every other page or two. To be scrupulously truthful, there are a few verses where it advises Muslims to play nice with infidels, particularly Christians and Jews, until Muslims can turn the tables on the infidel bastards and go with Plan A!

To be fair again, the Muslims also read the Bible! They have to, no one can make heads or tails out of Qu'ran, not even Muslims. The Suras of Qu'ran cover everything from taking a leak to building a house and stockbreeding ... but if the Good Book of Muhammed (May Peace Be Upon Him) has any theme at all, Pat is correct: it's Plan A for the infidels. To deny this, as many "moderate" Muslims are attempting to do, is certainly interesting. I would advise them to go with "allegory," "Arabic Figure of Speech," "Archaic Usage," "Agricultural Metaphor," "Ancient Myths." That sort of thing. Biblical scholars have been doing it for years. Fortunately for them, the Bible is just so much more interesting as literature than Qu'ran, which truly is a sort of J.C. Whitney catalog of violence.

I can see why Pres. Bush doesn't want Americans to go ballistic with individual members of the Religion of Peace (which it is AFTER everyone is converted or dead) but it's going to be very very tough to do if the Muslims who are in America don't clean up their act... and their brother's.

That's my point. Anyone in public life would not make those statements. "In a multitude of words, sin is not lacking," and "the flesh profits nothing." PR is not a prophet, and certian has little talent in politics, or in chosing the right words for that matter. But no one has posted any EVIDENCE that the above statements of mine are incorrect. And won't.....

There were a lot of listings for it, that was the best general-purpose link among them. I sure hope people wake up before Islam eats them alive.

I have the whole 6-part series transcript of "The Jihad Trail" that aired on CBN starting Sept. 27th, 2001 in MS Word for anyone interested. I would post in in the religion section, but it is quite long.

I'm still trying to find out why the Pope kissed the Koran?
