FReeRepublic: Pat Robertson was right! Islam is evil!
To: ChristianDefender
Of course Islam is evil. Anyone who doesn't hold this view should read the Koran.

"They have said in the Quran there's a war against all the infidels," Robertson said. "Do you want somebody like that sitting as a judge? I wouldn't."

"This type of hate-filled rhetoric deserves repudiation from all who respect America's long-standing tradition of pluralism," said Rabiah Ahmed, CAIR's communication coordinator.

It's amusing that Ahmed's comment applies better to the noted portion of the Quran than to Robertson's remark.

1. Head spinning
Let me see if I got this right. Islamic faith is evil because they want to destroy all infidels therefor they should be destroyed.

2. I think I have reached the point that I cannot allow myself to care.
I mean these are grown people who are such blatant fucking hypocrites. If Pat Robertson died right in front of me I would spit on his body and be on my way. I'm just so frustrated with all this shit. :cry:

3. That's really a far cry from the evangelical belief
that Jesus will return again only once all non believers are wiped from the holy land. :sarcasm:

11. I love it when fundies cite violent passages in the Koran, yet ignore
the Old Testament's violence, and how Jehovah orders the Israelis to destroy cities in his name, how he ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son, relenting at the last possible moment, how Jacob tricked his father into giving him the birthrite, etc.

Hell, I recently heard TD Jakes discussing the story of Dinah, Jacob's daughter, getting raped and basically blaming Dinah for it. I had previously thought Bishop Jakes was somewhat supportive of women, too, with his whole "Woman, thou art loosed" spiel.

4. A typical Repug tactic
"It's amusing that Ahmed's comment applies better to the noted portion of the Quran than to Robertson's remark."

The fucker is treating Robertson statement as FACT, which makes it an unquestionable point.

Robertson could have said that followers of Islam stepped off a spaceship from the planet Gamma Reticuli VII and the freeptard would have defended it.

The fucking point IS ROBERTSON'S RHETORIC.

Never let these conservative dipshits distract you.

5. I wonder if ChristianDefender has ever read the Koran?
I doubt it!
It is just rhetoric that he has been taught to use for the hate they are filled with.

It amazes me how much hate a Christian organization can create. Just last Sunday I was sitting in church half dozing from the late night before, when this young lady began to speak, I glanced up and saw who it was.
It hit me, this lady was talking about the Lord knowing every thing she did and every thought before she did.
If that were true, do you think he would have let her make the hateful statements I had heard her shout not 2 weeks before? It blows my mind how they can quantify their hate and prejudice.

6. It's ironic...
Edited on Tue May-03-05 06:43 AM by CJCRANE
in that that Muslims admire virtually the same prophets and worship pretty much the same God as Christians.

The Islamic religion is pretty much a continuation of Judeo-Christian themes.

The main difference is the language (although in fact Arabic is probably closer to the language that Jesus spoke than today's English translations).

On edit: what I'm trying to say, in a roundabout way, is that any attack on Islam can also be logically extended to be an attack on Judeo-Christianity because the messages in both religions are pretty much the same and based on the same heritage (i.e. there is one God - called "Allaha" in Aramaic which is the language Jesus spoke, you have to follow a similar moral code, unbelievers should be converted etc).

7. Using the same logic,
quoting a violent passage from the Bible would show that Christianity is evil.

10. Like Psalm #137?
1: By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2: We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3: For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4: How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
5: If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6: If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7: Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
8: O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9: Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.


Psalms is one of the more poetic sections of the Bible. This one is the basis of a famous reggae song.

Just read through to the last line.

8. Nothing I haven't heard since 9/11.
As a Muslim living in the US, you learn to tune that shit out.
