Pat Robertson On The 700 Club: Islam Is A Dangerous 'Infection' That Must Be Eliminated

Pat Robertson: Islam Is A Dangerous Infection That Must Be Eliminated
SUBMITTED BY Brian Tashman on Thursday, 4/7/2016 3:20 pm
Today on “The 700 Club,” Pat Robertson said that countries like Belgium and France must respond with “violence” to the “infection” of Muslim immigrants, telling his co-host Terry Meeuwsen that these countries must fight Islam in the same way that a body fights a deadly disease.


Otherwise, “Europe is doomed. Doomed!” he said, before adding: “And we have a president here in America who refuses to name it, refuses to identify it and refuses to give us what’s needed to kill the infection.”

donated handsomely to the 700 club. One good thing about a trump candidacy will be the end of the "family values" crap liberals have had to put up with for decades.

Islam is one of them, possibly the worst (stonings for adultery, jihad, etc)

But Christianity is pretty bad too:
no condoms and anti-gay laws in Africa, wanting to teach creationism in the US, etc.

In the run-up to every genocide the victims are invariably called "a disease", "cockroaches", or "vermin".

Couched in suitably jingoistic violent terms to appeal to mouthbreathers! Yay! Go whitey Jesusites! Defeat the swarthy Allah-fans!

Oh Pat, Pat, you pickled parochial parasite you. Fomenting internecine strife with your fellow desert monotheists. I'm sure there are no $en$ible reasons you want to keep the west playing for your team in this little what's God's name and what does he want spat.

Sure I'd be happy if either or both team folded, but the only "elimination" process that is either desirable or frankly effective is the slow natural one of the Enlightenment, which embarrasingly managed to lose its early tenuous grip on the US but kept good hold of most of the remaining developed western democracies. It will come to the east eventually. No religion or "ism" is ever really eliminated through external violence, short of outright annihilation hardly possible in this age of shared diasporas. Evenhtually Islam will be a quirky, slightly red-faced remnant of a tiny minority in Syria just like Christianity is in Scotland. Same here too. The world can wait.

All religions contain their own rabid fundamentalists. If humanity is ever to make it into the far future, we need to find a way to overcome these anti-progress fundamentalists of all types. Lots of Christians believe there's nothing wrong with having 5-6 kids and driving a big old suv. After all, climate change is a hoax and there's no overpopulation problem. God will provide for us....

Therefore, we must fight it -- directly -- with whatever amount of violence is necessary to eliminate the infection of violence.

Makes perfect sense, right?

(I'm not sure what smiley to put here. Rolling side to side? Jaw drop? Whacking one's own head?)

Also: HOLY SHIT! This guy is still alive!?!? I wonder where he hides the exsanguinated bodies...
