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 whats needed to kill the infection.

On top of being a complete asshole, also a hypocrite.

(2,016 posts)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.

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.

(54 posts)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....

(13,081 posts)Therefore, we must fight it -- directly -- with whatever amount of violence is necessary to eliminate the infection of violence.
Makes perfect sense, right?
