Pat Robertson: Islam not a religion, but violent political system (Video)

locutus
Yesterday Evangelical Pat Robertson claimed Islam is not a religion but a violent political system on his television program, The 700 Club. Robertson made the remarks while discussing the recent tragedy at Fort Hood. Robertson used the opportunity to disparage the entire Islamic religion because of the actions of one man.

      Backlash in California: Muslim at mall kiosk tears crucifix from shopper's neck, shouts "Allah is power"

      Whoops, sorry -- this isn't backlash against the poor, innocent Muslims being terrorized and victimized by the thousands after the Fort Hood Nothing-To-Do-With-Islam attack. This is just the familiar Muslim backlash against non-Muslims, which will increasingly be a feature of American life in the coming years. Nothing to see here. Move along.

      "Man arrested for 'anti-Christian' mall disturbance: Kiosk employee allegedly tore a crucifix from someone's neck," by Emily West for the Danville Express, November 10 :

      '' Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person's neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center.

      Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.

      According to reports, Hamid was yelling "Allah is power" and "Islam is great" while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.

      Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn't threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone's neck.

      Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years.''

      You mean, he didn't do this daily? What a relief!

      '' Police also said they weren't aware of a prior criminal history for the man.

      "We had multiple people calling 911," Elerick said. "One female was crouching down and hiding from him. He definitely scared quite a few people."...

      Through an interpreter, Hamid requested a public defender and was scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Thursday where he is expected to enter a plea.''

      Through an interpreter? He worked at the mall and didn't speak English?

      What, are you on a personal crusade to expose any and all instances of Islamic intolerance to us? I could do the same damn thing with Christianity, so I'm hoping you have just as much a problem with it as you seem to have with Islam.

      lol....Christianity is not threatening your freedom or planning to take over the world? These two religions spring from the very same well, and desire the very same things: absolute control over humanity, however possible. You need to 'get real' and understand the threat from any and ALL religions.

    • The Fort Hood massacre wouldn't have happened were it not for political correctness. Nidal Hasan lectured on the Koran's punishments for unbelievers when he should have been discussing medicine; justified suicide bombing; and spouted hatred for America even as he wore its uniform. Yet no one filed a complaint -- for fear of seeming bigoted.

      This is the fruit of long-term efforts by groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others to demonize everyone who speaks honestly about the threat of jihad and Islamic supremacism. People are afraid to speak up about Muslims who behave suspiciously. And if Nidal Hasan had been disciplined or removed from his post because of his pro-jihad, anti-American statements, CAIR and others would likely have been up in arms, calling for an investigation of "Islamophobia" in the military.

      Mission accomplished: "Islamophobia" was duly avoided at Fort Hood. All it cost was 13 dead and 38 wounded. Now General Casey says that if the Army loses its "diversity" because of Hasan's jihad, that would be worse than his murders; the political correctness that led to these murders is still very much in place.

    • to say that he is doing the same thing would be met with outrage and shock. there is nothing we can say or do to effect prejudice, except in ourselves. robertson's followers are eager to have him do their thinking for them. that's not a small thing, thinking is hard work.

      am i prejudice? when i saw pat's name i already had a decision made. i don't want to be guilty of the same thing organized political groups do. my attitude of liberal intellectual smugness isn't going to help.

      uh oh i just talked myself into cul-de-sac and i can't back out.

    • I see all the libtard morons on here are indulging in the usual mutual masturbation and shooting the messenger. Irrespective of who and what Robertson is, what he is saying is absolutely right and anyone with any knowledge of history and Islamic teachings and texts will recognise the truth of his words. But no, not the ignorant freedom hating fanatics on here. I don't even know who Robertson is and I don't care. I know what he is saying is true. And denying that is quite simply pathological and deranged.

      Yes, because anyone who uses 'libtard' has to be the voice of logic in this space we call current.

      I despise religions of all stripes, but saying ...'And denying that is quite simply pathological and deranged.' seems like a good way to alienate anyone who might take you seriously. I'm all for deriding Islam, but only if you are going to take the logical step and implicate Christianity in the same breath.

    • Hey Pat..a government based on a religion is called a theocracy. Just to let you know women are in the military now as well. one last comment, everybody wants to rule the world not just their government.

    • Wait a minute:
      1. The Crusades
      2. The Spanish Inquisition
      3. Destruction of the Native American population
      4. Enslavement of millions of Africans (while millions died i the middle passage)
      5. The Burning of Witches at the stake (Salem Witch Trials)
      6. Etc ... Etc ... Etc... you can fill it in.

      All these and many more atrocities were committed by "Christians" in the name of Christianity.
      So as far as I am concerned Christianity is as bad if not worst than Islam.

      Pat Robertson is a senile, demented, hateful propagandist - and the only reason why he is relevant is because he has a bully pulpit to spew his filth.

    • If there are any people reading this story who wonder why it is that no one takes criticism of crazy ass Islamists seriously, this is why.

      This the reason there is so much apologetics for Islam on the left, because the Pat Robertsons of the world are making it into a racist crusade, which makes it impossible to hear your legitimate concerns not in this light.

      Islam, and Christianity, are both religions that are constantly trying to achieve their aims through political action. Robertson is an idiot, and I'm pretty sure he lost his mind several years ago. He just enjoys making statements that might get him another 5 minutes of fame.
