Robertson: Muslim Politicians Will 'Destroy' American Civilization

[ck4829]

On today’s “700 Club,” Pat Robertson warns that Muslims becoming involved in politics, such as Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota), want to “take over” and “institute Sharia.”

“If the Christians don’t get involved—We’ve been harassed by People for the American Way, we have been harassed by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, we have been harassed by the federal court system, but if the Christians won’t stand up and not worry about the IRS, not worry about whether you’re going to lose your tax exemption, not worry about whatever because you’re going to lose your country if Christians don’t mobilize and vote,” warned Robertson. He added that “The curse of God is to bring in people who don’t share your point of view and then ultimately destroy your civilization. Well, that’s what we’re facing for our children and grandchildren.”

1. Like he doesn't??

He's projecting again. He thinks he's Nehemiah Scudder again.

4. Nehemiah Scudder....

That's a slightly obscure reference, eh?

If this goes on.

Actually I agree with Robertson, extremist Muslim politicians could be every bit as damaging to freedom as are extremist Christian politicians and maybe even more so.

5. Not that obscure to some of us

I consider religious extremists of any stripe the same. Look at the fundamentalist nutjobs of any of the religions and they all want the same thing. Total control of you in every way.

7. How many

1) "extremist Muslim politicians" are there in America?
2) so-called "Christian" politicians who actually have strong business (and other) ties to Saudi Arabia and Dubai?

Subtract the former from the latter to calculate Robertson's (and the Repubs') hypocrisy rating.

2. Setting the stage

I am getting more and more worried about what the right might try to pull in 2008.

8. McCarthy Era Mark II.

An "extremist muslim politician" is about as likely in America as a "revolutionary communist politician", i.e. totally unfeasible. Robertson is scaremongering about something that doesn't and can't exist.

3. does this conflict with Bush's brand of Sharia law?

If this can ruin the "american civilization" it needs to be ruined.

6. He's worried about his tax exemptions

Taxation would really cut into his Flock-fleecing.

9. Pat, if you couldn't do it, what makes you think they can?

[LeftishBrit]

10. He is nuts! He sounds just like the Moslem extremists that he opposes

Ellison is, from what I gather, a liberal Democrat; which means that he has far fewer values in common with Moslem extremists than Robertson does. I suspect that if any pro-Sharia Moslem group is even aware of Ellison's existence, they probably hate him at least as much as Robertson does.

Similarly, I am sure that 'Americans United for the Separation of Church and State' do not, by definition, support Sharia!

Robertson is insane.

13. Seems to me that so-called "christian" politicians

Are doing a bang up job of destroying America all by themselves :eyes:
