Robertson finds radical Muslims "Satanic."
NORFOLK, Va. - Television evangelist Pat Robertson said Monday on his live news-and-talk program "The 700 Club" that Islam is not a religion of peace, and that radical Muslims are "satanic."

Robertson's comments came after he watched a news story on his Christian Broadcasting Network about Muslim protests in Europe over the cartoon drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.

He remarked that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoons "just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. 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."

5. I've heard other people
give the same opinion. I guess they are looking for a simple explanation for something that is difficult to fathom.

I wouldn't expect different of Mr. Robertson. These kinds of statements are his trademarks.

6. Mathew 7:3
Perhaps Pat should give his bible a fresh read.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

36. I believe Matthew 7:15 is the most relevant verse here
15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Mt. 3.10 · Lk. 3.9

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mt. 12.33

7. It's time to start ignoring Robertson. He has made himself
totally irrelevant to the active political dialog.

30. Occasionally you'll hear people say "I am a follower of Jesus" instead of
"I am a Christian," to distinguish themselves from the organized churches that have hurt so many people. Some people suggest that if you actually read the Gospels, the Jesus you read about is radically different than what (especially) evangelical churches teach. Jesus talks about tolerance (the parable of the Good Samaritan); he talks about helping the poor, the vulnerable, the suffering; he blesses the peacemakers. He doesn't talk about what you believe or what church you belong to.

10. Was he looking in the mirror again with that statement?
"just shows the kind of people we're dealing with.(PAT)
These people are crazed fanatics,(PAT AND THE 700 CLUB)
and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power.(700 CLUB AND PAT)
It is satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with."

14. While it might not have been conceived as such by Jesus,
Christianity has through it's history mainly been a cult of war, domination, and cruelty.

24. Jesus was a Jew...


It is highly unlikely that Jesus set out to start a new religion based on him, if anything, he wanted his own people to follow him.

15. Agree 100% with a few minor alterations and here they are...
Television evangelist Pat Robertson is radical satanic.

Robertson's comments came after a news story.

These people on his Christian Broadcasting Network 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.

18. well i guess he would know if it's "satanic". he's probably got
a close relationship with "satan". does he think his recent remarks are christian, i.e., warning the people of pennsylvania about being hit by a disaster, praying for new vacancies on the supreme court. I wonder what jesus would think about pat robertson.:eyes:

20. He ain't "satanic", folks. He's a fucking lightweight on every level.
Which, sadly, doesn't say much for those millions who, um...'follow' him. (Not to mention the 'legit' press he gets...)

25. "These people are crazed fanatics,"
That's what the imperial powers have called all of their victims -- people suffering under racial injustice, war, poverty, disease.

They are so suprised that suffering people act out like that.

What saps.

and he's simply been tasked to soften up and brainwash the Bush* base by "demonizing the enemy". :shrug:
