In case you missed my last post on the lunatic, Pat Robertson is a terrorist. Seriously.
I'm not a big fan of extremists in the Muslim camp... but I think I'm more outraged by the extremists in the Christian camp, because I tend to align myself with all things biblical, and Christianity today is (loosely) based on biblical principles. And Pat Robertson functions as a figurehead and voice for the Christian world. ... but certainly not my version of Christianity. My version of Christianity doesn't tell people that Muslims are crazed fanatics, satanic, and seeking world domination.
As a fun biblical side note, there's a Genesis passage that actually states that the descendants of Ishmael (ie., the Muslim world) are protected by the God of Israel - the same God of the Christian world. Read Genesis 16 and 17 and find out all about it. It's really kind of fascinating.
