More hate coming your way via Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson.
Dec. 3 — On Sunday, Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson appeared on ABC’s “This Week” to rebut President Bush’s claims that Islam is peaceful. Robertson theorized that Bush “does not want to be fighting all of Islam and he didn’t want to set this thing up as a holy war, and he was very wise. He’s playing geopolitics, and in that case it is a very smart move.”
OK. BUSH DOESN’T want the world’s 1 billion Muslims to think Americans are hostile to Islam. So what did Robertson tell the ABC audience about Islam? “There is absolute, veritable hatred of Jews and the idea that every Jew has got to be killed before the culmination of the age. That’s what Islam teaches,” he said. “It’s violent at its core.”
Isn’t this the kind of Muslim-bashing Bush was trying to avoid? Heavens, no, said Robertson. “The last thing I want to do is set myself up against Muslim people, because many of them are seeking to find the Lord.” And why, in Robertson’s view, are Muslims still seeking — i.e., not yet finding — the Lord? Because they haven’t found Christ.
‘ONE LITTLE DISPUTE’
Robertson concluded that Bush “doesn’t want this to be a Muslim-Christian fight or a Muslim-America fight. The Muslims are trying to make it that way, I might add. … Iran called us the great Satan, and these people are violent. … This is the kind of people they are. They murder their enemies, and the president didn’t want to get involved in that. I don’t blame him for it.” Indeed, said Robertson, “I’m one of his big supporters. I think I played a significant role in getting him elected. … One little dispute doesn’t separate friends. I just, I don’t want to play this thing out of proportion.”
Let’s review Robertson’s comments. 1) To win the war, Bush needs to avoid saying Islam is rotten. 2) Islam is rotten. 3) I’m Bush’s best friend. 4) I’m not against Muslims; I just want them to stop being Muslims. 5) The only people trying to make this a Muslim-Christian thing are those rotten Muslims. 6) I want everyone watching this TV show to know that this issue is no big deal.
Guess which religion needs damage control now.
This guy is a frickin idiot. I don't understand how someone like this can call himself a holy man while preaching hatred and intolerance. It baffles me. Does religion itself breed this?

Some one should punch him in the face, ust hard enough to bust his lip-that would shut him up........plus it would be hilarious.
Tyson is a muslim, a bit mad, get him to do it. :rotfl"

you may want to reword both paragraphs. the first one plays right into the hand of Pat Robertson.
the second one, implies the mad part follows him being a muslim, which I know you did not intend.
"This guy is a frickin idiot. I don't understand how someone like this can call himself a holy man while preaching hatred and intolerance. It baffles me. Does religion itself breed this?"
Agreed, but all of the times I have seen him there is NO ONE there to debate him or challenge him. Must be in his contract that he does not want to be in the room with real Muslims, so he can just say whatever he wants.
They did have Jerry Falwell on TV grovelling for forgiveness.... Some progress I guess....
Didnt you see that fight, Holyfield was headbutting him for no reason-it was self defence. Dont just assume Mike is an animal, Mike is nothing of the sort. The media just like to demonize him, and that plays right along.
Tyson is a man wh has had it hard, and raised hismelf up, and ppl should remember the good and not the bad.
what baffles me is the type of popular support morons like robertson and graham enjoy. What is an average supporter of these guys like?
They have used verses from quran to portray it as a violent religion, I can find similar verses in the old testament, but I doubt these guys have the dingdongs to say the same about judaism, because they will have a defamation suit and anti-semitism label on them faster than Clinton on an intern.
But I guess this whole deal is akin to a dot com boom for them. sadly I dont see the bubble bursting.
I like Pat, I only wish he can take his head out of his ass and shove it in some equally repulsive hate preaching Islamic cleric. I would take photos and post it on the web with title “looking for God inside an ass”. Idiots like Pat should be filled with dynamite and detonated.
Tyson is not a "jerk", and he4 usually wins. He has like 45 wins out of 49 fights, with something like 85% by KO. He will beat Etienne, another muslim, and silence you fair weather fans.
