AMERICANS UNITED DEPLORES TV PREACHER PAT ROBERTSON'S INFLAMMATORY ATTACK
ON ISLAM
Robertson Remarks 'Throw Gasoline On Fire' Of Inter-Religious Tensions,
Says AU's Lynn
Americans United for Separation of Church and State today criticized TV
preacher Pat Robertson for a virulent attack on Islam.
On the live version of his "700 Club" program today, Robertson charged that
Islam is not a religion of peace, that Muslims are demonic and satanic and
that they are trying to take over the world.
Said Robertson, "These people are crazed fanatics and I want to say it now:
I believe it's motivated by demonic power, it is satanic and it's time we
recognize what we're dealing with.. The goal of Islam, ladies and
gentlemen, whether you like it or not, is world domination." He insisted
that "Islam is not a religion of peace."
In the version of the show posted on the Internet, the offensive remarks
were deleted.
The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director, said the
attempt to erase the comments was too little, too late.
"At a time when inter-religious tensions around the world are at an
all-time high, Robertson seems determined to throw gasoline on the fire,"
said Lynn. "His comments are grossly irresponsible. Robertson seems to be
wrestling with demons of his own, namely intolerance and bigotry. To
condemn an entire religion because of the behavior of some is deplorable.
"It is certainly appropriate that Robertson has removed the offensive
comments from the Internet version of the show," Lynn added. "However, it
is imperative that he issue an immediate and unequivocal apology, because
millions of viewers have already heard the inflammatory remarks. When will
Robertson ever learn to think before he speaks? "
Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington,
D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the
importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom.

A casual observation indicates that Pat might be correct. He may not be
politically correct to make the remark, but he appears to be correct in his
observation.

A "casual observation" is that Muslim extremists represent
Islam about as much as Eric Rudolph and the Army of God,
James Kopp, or Fred Phelps represent Christianity.
And that's a good thing indeed on both counts.

Does anyone have a web link with the un-cut video versions of all the
stupid things he's said on his over the last few years? Or would it
be illegal?

Well, he insulted the Jews, and it (almost) cost him in the
pocketbook...so he's trying o get back in good standing.

Maybe not illegal, but the bandwidth requirements could shut down the
internet for days with each download.

They kind of have to take this stand before some Muslime attacks them,
but I'm really sure they'd be this fast on the uptake if some imam
insulted Christianity.

If that imam had a televisin show which was repeated three times a day via
cable to 70 million subscribers, I suspect they well might.
