Pat Robertson: Islam is not a religion, adherents need to be singled out as fascists

I hate you, controversy, horror, race, religion

Don’t worry, I’m sure the Muslim-bashing has only begun. This is one of the most pure-hate screeds I’ve ever heard, but then we’ve been waiting for this bigotry Hall of Famer to speak up. He doesn’t disappoint.




“…but if we don’t stop covering up what Islam is…Islam is a violent…I wouldn’t consider it a religion, but it’s not a religion, it’s a political system. It’s a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and the, and world domination. That is the ultimate aim. And they talk about infidels and all this, but the truth is that’s what the game is. So you are dealing with a, not a religion. You’re dealing with a political system. And I think we should treat it as such and treat its adherents as such as we would members of the Communist Party or members of some fascist group…”

    Wow! I didn’t make it all the way through his, um? I’m not really sure what to call it…sermon…op-ed portrayed as news? I was beginning to consider pumping up a tape of car horns and sirens to make me forget the sound of his voice.
    I found myself inserting Christian for Muslim and Islam, and it sounded just like Christianity and his (Robertson’s) own followers. Political system? Wanting to take over governments and goals of world domination? Sounds an awful lot like the xians in the U.S., and now unfortunately, Europe.

    Just because Robertson urged his followers to ‘Christianize’ America’s institutions and once ran for President of the United States hardly constitutes the sort of thing…oh, wait, that’s exactly what you’re talking about…
