Pat Robertson Marks 9/11 By Blaming Separation Of Church And State For Inviting Radical Muslim 'Fifth Column' Into America
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 9/11/2013 11:55 am

Two days following 9/11 terrorist attacks, televangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell blamed the attacks on “the pagans, the abortions, the feminists and the gays and lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way.” Today, Robertson remembered 9/11 by attacking former president George W. Bush for calling Islam a “religion of peace.” “They believe that anybody who doesn’t submit is at war with them and they are prime targets, and for the Western nations to welcome this fifth column into their midst is just committing suicide,” Robertson claimed. “The reason is they have lost their faith in God, they have lost their faith in Jesus Christ, they don’t believe in what the Bible says and the core values of our society have gone away,” Robertson continued. “We’ve done it here in America, we’ve abolished prayer in the schools, we’ve taken out Bible-reading in the schools and little by little by little we’ve eroded the rights—we keep talking about separation and this that and the other.”

1. How many times do we have to say it?

Christianity was certainly not a religion of peace during the Crusades and Inquisition. Nor during the invasion of us white people into the Americas. We've lost whole histories of indigenous peoples in the Americas due to the RCC's deciding that the indigenous peoples religions and texts were an abomination. So they burned texts that would have been of great significance to our understanding and the history of these peoples.

While there may have been a lot more pagans at the time I doubt that abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians nor the ACLU were much of a factor in counter-culture at the time during the Dark Ages.

Islam is a religion of peace. It's only a fraction of the billions of followers of Islam who are such extremists they do exactly the same sorts of things Christians have done throughout history. And the Christians who perpetrated these heinous acts weren't the extremists - they were the mainstream.
