Pat Robertson's Prophesy

How fitting that on International Peace Day I find that Pat Robertson would predict the following:

"[A] holy war between Islam and Christianity" is "going to come"

From the September 19 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club:
ROBERTSON: When somebody gives the clear, historic record and just says, "Let's have a dialogue," that person is set up for death. And now we understand the leaders of Al Qaeda are calling for a holy war between Islam and Christianity. It's going to come, ladies and gentlemen, and I hope that those of you who care about this pope will support him. He's a wonderful man.

If people like Robertson keep stoking the fires, well, it may well happen.

I would think that a 'man of the cloth' would place greater faith in the promotion of peace than the prophesy of war.

I don't have the video to the segment above, but if you follow the link, you can watch it at media matters. But that clip isn't unique to Robertson.

Here he shows his hostility to Islam by comparing it to Hitler and Nazism.



And here he demonstrates his ignorance of the Quran.



Just another example of a public figure who unnecessarily, and ignorantly, antagonizes Muslims, and thus fueling the anger that lies at the heart of terrorism.

To have peace, we must be peace. Insulting our Muslim brothers and sisters is no way to be peace.
