The following video by Cenk of The Young Turks gives a stellar rebuttal to the religious elitist himself – Pat Robertson, the self-proclaimed “right-hand-of-god”. Robertson foments anti-Islamic vitriol and a call to actively discriminate against Muslims as a ‘c’hristian family value.
So to listen to Robertson spew this garbage about Islam being a political ideology (intent on dominating the world)….rather than a peaceful religion – I can hardly speak in response! And the fact that he is supported and revered by millions of Sheeples, well…it frankly scares the hell out of me at times.
Here is an excerpt from an article written almost two years ago….
Parvez Ahmed , The American Muslim – United States reposted an article from Monday, January 21, 2008
[...] a convergence of [rebiblican] interests is fighting “Islamic terrorism,” echoing Giuliani’s longstanding description of the war on terror as a war on “radical Islamic fascism.” This belligerence reverberates in conservative activist Gary Bauer’s characterization of the fight against “radical Islam” as a major “family value” that tops the new Conservative agenda. Christian leader Charles Colson [and ex-con who got "saved" in prison like so many scumbags] describes “Islamofascism” as the “long war” while James Dobson exhorts his fellow faithful to “wake up” for the fight against “militant Islam.” For these conservative leaders, the point of emphasis is on Islam, not terror.
Thus exempt from their “war on terror” are groups like the Lord’s Resistance Army of Uganda, which commits terrorism in the name of Christianity and Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers, a Hindu-Marxist group, which remains one of the worst perpetrators of suicide bombings. This new battle cry seeks to exploit pre-existing fears of Islam.
Nearly 4 in 10 Americans admit to being prejudiced against Muslims, and 70 percent say that Islam has nothing in common with their faith. Among self identified Conservatives, such trends are generally worse. Pat Robertson is the latest in a long line of Team Rudy fans who are distinguished by their disdain for Muslims.
In his hostility to Islam and Muslims, Robertson outshines them all. Robertson has railed against many groups that he views as “un-Christian,” but he has always managed to save his harshest invective for Muslims. He has called Muslims “satanic,” claimed the Quran is “fraudulent” and said Islam is “a monumental scam.” Robertson also called the Prophet Muhammad “an absolute wild-eyed fanatic, a robber and a brigand…a killer.”
Ironically, those promoting the use of “Islamic terrorism” side with terrorists if it suits their agenda. ~
Let’s look at only ONE sample of the current-day peace-loving Robertson flavor of Christian works – Nigeria. This is a country where the majority of its residents are Catholic, but they are regarded as just as much a heathen population as though they were atheist. This makes them one of many, many targets by the American evangelical dominionist brigade in their quest to convert as many peoples on the planet as possible before their Rapture chariot arrives. Are these other cultures asked if they seek alternative religious views?
Of course not…because it is only in the hands of a select few who are god’s generals and “chosen ones” to tell you what is best for you. And if you don’t convert and repent, the consequences are heinous. Just look at the children in Nigeria and elsewhere who are being tortured, murdered and abandoned when the evangelical clergy denounce them as witches. The acts of torture by these ‘c’hristians are unspeakable!
Save your breath about the evildoers of other faiths Mr. Robertson…and take responsibility for the horrific contribution to the worst aspect of human nature you area continuing to make. If I were you, I would be praying that there is NOT a Judgment Day!

War on Terror Rhetoric Sounds Like War on Islam

This bigoted, hate-spewing "Christian" has had my blood boiling for years.
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." –Pat Robertson
"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history." –Pat Robertson
(Mind you I self-identify as Christian, but am not affiliated with the dominionist movements, and find myself repulsed by them. For self-professed Christians they sure want nothing to do with their Christ!)
Moss – Islam has its own version of dominionism and everything you said is true of the fundamentalist, jihadist Islamist. However, that should not be confused with moderate and liberal Muslims who make up the majority of Islam. The exact same charges can be leveled at dominionist 'c'hristianity, and the same defense of moderate and liberal Christians apply.
The purpose of this web site is to expose the beliefs, goals, and hypocrisy of the dominionist 'c'hristians. If you want to rail against another religion, this may not be the best venue.
Help Leah & Alex Keep the Bible OFF Our Ballots! by DONATING any amount. All DONATIONS greatly appreciated! EXTREMISM is dangerous no matter what “FACE” it wears…

I wouldn't hold back, Leah. Tell us how you really feel. LOL
Note to Parvez Ahmed – Rushdoony's son-in-law is Gary North not Bauer.
Robertson really creeps me out. He says creepy things and keeps creepy company.
I know…some days I get so tired of these Phalse Prophets for Profit it becomes impossible to self-edit…
Don't worry about self editing Leah, you have it exactly right and if anything, are too kind to these #$%^& c'hris'tians. Fumming here also!!

What an alternate reality he/they exist in! I wish they could exist there and leave the rest of us out of their twisted world!
I like that, Leah, Phalse Prophets for Profit or P3 (cubed).
Catchy AND accurate isn't it?
I hadn't watched the video before I responded before. BRAVO CENK! He had it soooo right! And Thank YOU Leah for bringing it to us.
I love Cenk's political wrap-ups! He is often bang on! And thank you…
I agree with Pat. Islam is a poisonous, predatory, supremacist, totalitarian political ideology masquerading as a religion.
Aaahhh…voices of 'c'hristian love and tolerance.
And dominionist Christianity isn't?
(Mind you I self-identify as Christian, but am not affiliated with the dominionist movements, and find myself repulsed by them. For self-professed Christians they sure want nothing to do with their Christ!)
So true Steve…I love that saying by Gandhi….
"It is not your Christ that I do not like, it is your Christians…they are so unlike your Christ."
