quote:
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said yesterday the news media and political leaders have failed to educate Americans about violence in the Koran and in Islamic history and wishes President Bush had never said that "Islam is a religion of peace."
"He is not elected as chief theologian," Mr. Robertson said.

Replace the words "islam", "muslims" and "koran" by "christianity", "christians" and "bible" and the article still tells the truth.
Interesting, isn't it? |

From the article:
"For 18 years, his Christian Broadcasting Network had an Arab-language broadcast station in Lebanon, but he said that "it was overrun by Hezbollah," a terrorist group."
This likely has something to do with Pat Robertson's problems with Islam. Hezbollah must have cut into a bit of income he was deriving from the Arab-language CBN broadcasts.
This quote kinda got me also:
"It would have been better for the president to speak only politically about the Islamic world, and not religiously."
While I wish President Bush would keep his religious ideas to himself *sigh*, I don't see how he can speak about a religion without speaking "religiously". The religion of Islam and it's political effects in the world today seem intertwined, and I don't know how it's possible to seperate the two aspects.
