FUNDAMENTALIST ATTITUDES TOWARD OTHER MONOTHEISTIC FAITHS

“Jews and Muslims who don’t accept Jesus will burn in Hell.” – Johnny Hart, cartoonist and creator of the popular syndicated newspaper comic strip B.C. (and co-creator of the equally popular strip The Wizard of Id), on the unfortunate eternal fate of those non-Christian fellow monotheists who chose (or were simply born into) the wrong monotheism

“Anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I’m telling you, you’re not my brother and you’re not my sister.” – Robert Bentley, governor of Alabama, on his views regarding the second-class (or worse) status of all “unsaved” citizens of the state he governs

“With all due respect to those dear people, my friend, God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew. For how in the world can God hear the prayer of a man who says that Jesus Christ is not the true Messiah? It is blasphemy. It may be politically expedient, but no one can pray unless he prays through the name of Jesus Christ.” — Bailey Smith, a past president of the Southern Baptist Convention (the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S.), on how Jews literally don’t have a prayer

“I do not believe that God answers the prayer of any unredeemed Gentile or Jew” – Jerry Falwell

“Islam was founded by Muhammad, a demon-possessed pedophile….” — Jerry Vines, another past president of the Southern Baptist Convention (the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S.) and former pastor of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, FL (at the time, the third largest Southern Baptist church in the U.S.)

“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… by the way, Islam is not a religion of peace.” – Pat Robertson’s blanket condemnation of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” – Ann Coulter on how to resolve tensions between Islam and the West, immediately post-9/11
