I must have missed the faith-slandering Bible verse<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pat Robertson is at it again, true to form in his rhetoric\u2019s divisiveness [\u201cIn military, Muslims speak out,\u201d News, Nov. 12].<\/p>\n

Now he claims that Islam is not a religion, but \u201ca violent political system.\u201d Why is this creepy hypocrite given airtime?<\/p>\n

Hello Robertson, would you like to look back over history and tally the wars, deaths and carnage committed in the name of Christ?<\/p>\n

Nah, I didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Faiths are by virtue about love, honor and peace. There are peaceful and violent men and women in all of the world\u2019s faiths. Violence is a wicked human failing, not a religious belief system.<\/p>\n

Robertson is guilty of violence via the rhetoric and garbage that spews forth from his mouth. He claims to be a Christian, though I\u2019m not seeing Christian behavior.<\/p>\n

Does that make the Christian faith a violent political system? Not the one I believe in.<\/p>\n

Where in the Bible does it say it is OK to slander other faiths? I missed that verse.<\/p>\n
