I must have missed the faith-slandering Bible verse
Pat Robertson is at it again, true to form in his rhetoric’s divisiveness [“In military, Muslims speak out,” News, Nov. 12].
Now he claims that Islam is not a religion, but “a violent political system.” Why is this creepy hypocrite given airtime?
Hello Robertson, would you like to look back over history and tally the wars, deaths and carnage committed in the name of Christ?
Nah, I didn’t think so.
Islam is not any more a violent political system than Christianity or Judaism. Are there violent Muslims? You bet. Just like there are Jews, Christians, Buddhists and the list goes one.
Faiths are by virtue about love, honor and peace. There are peaceful and violent men and women in all of the world’s faiths. Violence is a wicked human failing, not a religious belief system.
Robertson is guilty of violence via the rhetoric and garbage that spews forth from his mouth. He claims to be a Christian, though I’m not seeing Christian behavior.
Does that make the Christian faith a violent political system? Not the one I believe in.
Where in the Bible does it say it is OK to slander other faiths? I missed that verse.
