What about Dubya? He's a fanatic fundamentalist christian who seems to be doing a pretty good job of declaring war on the Muslim world.[/QUOTE]
Bush is the leader of a nation, a president.
It's not what I meant.[/QUOTE]
You've obviously never seen Pat Robertson, the Evangelical Christian and founder of the ultra-powerful lobbying group The Christian Coalition, on his TV show, the 700 Club. After 9-11 he did say publicly that he thought all Muslims should be slaughtered, and he was forced to take it back. Not to mention, since then he's said that the US should assassinate the president of Venezuala and that a town in Pennsylvania was going to feel the "wrath of God" for throwing out the public school board members who wanted to disallow teaching evolution in high school science classes, both of which he's had to apologize for.
The rest of the fanatical Christian groups? They don't get the coverage, and many of them don't want it because they are so infamous. The KKK is a religious group (they use religion to further their case against blacks), and there is a "church" in Kansas that gets media coverage because it goes to soldier's funerals who have died in Iraq and protest the funeral, with signs that say things like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" because they believe Iraq is a punishment to the US for us being so "tolerant" of gays....which the US isn't tolerant of to begin with, since we don't let them get married and have the same rights as everyone else, so I don't even know where that argument is coming from.

I would imagine that the clip would still exist somewhere on the internet. Robertson has enough enemies, plus he has said enough stupid things over the years, that it's out there, assuming the quote is correct. Just because he disavowed saying it doesn't mean it went away.
Personally, this is the first time I've heard that he advocated the "slaughter" of Muslims. In fact, if memory serves, it was Falwell that said a few stupid comments after September 11 on the 700 Club, not Robertson. Robertson agreed with Jerry's comments, but I do not recall anyone saying that Muslims should be slaughtered.
With a comment that incendiary, a citation is needed.

Remarks against Islam and Muslims
Robertson has frequently denounced the religion of Islam and Muslim people. During a 1995 taping of The 700 Club, he called the religion a "Christian heresy".[42] During a September 19, 2002 episode of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Robertson claimed that the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, was "an absolute wild-eyed fanatic … a robber and a brigand."[43] He claimed on the September 14, 2004 episode of The 700 Club that "Islam is by the gun, by the fire, by the bayonet, by the torch."[citation needed] On the July 14, 2005 broadcast of the The 700 Club, he claimed that "Islam, at its core, teaches violence."[44]
On the March 13, 2006 broadcast of The 700 Club Robertson stated that Muslims want global domination and that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoon drawings of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad "just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is Satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with." He finished by stating "by the way, Islam is not a religion of peace."[45]
The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, called Robertson's new comments "grossly irresponsible." He went on to say, "At a time when inter-religious tensions around the world are at an all-time high, Robertson seems determined to throw gasoline on the fire."[46]
More Pat Robertson Qutoes that run along the same vein:
If anybody understood what Hindus really believe, there would be no doubt that they have no business administering government policies in a country that favors freedom and equality.... Can you imagine having the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as defense minister, or Mahatma Gandhi as minister of health, education, and welfare? The Hindu and Buddhist idea of karma and the Muslim idea of kismet, or fate condemn the poor and the disabled to their suffering.... It's the will of Allah. These beliefs are nothing but abject fatalism, and they would devastate the social gains this nation has made if they were ever put into practice.
-- Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 219
To see Americans become followers of Islam is nothing short of insanity.... The Islamic people, the Arabs, were the ones who captured Africans, put them in slavery, and sent them to America as slaves. Why would the people in America want to embrace the religion of slavers.
-- Pat Robertson, quoted from the American Muslim Council press release, "Statement regarding anti-Muslim comments made by Pat Robertson on October 27,1997" and elsewhere. (Read Robertson's complete anti-Muslim segment.)
"Don't you feel it rather interesting that every time you have a story about terrorism, it is linked to Muslim extremists? You don't hear somebody, 'Christian extremist killing film producers, Christian extremists blowing up trains.' It just doesn't happen. But it's Muslim extremists and, ladies and gentlemen, Islam, at least at its core, teaches violence. It's there in the Quran in clear, bold statements. Well over 100 verses dealing with violence against infidels, and that is what they're taught. They're also taught to sacrifice themselves in jihad against infidels to gain paradise. It is part of the teaching of that faith. And I know people so reluctant to say, 'Lets not identify those terrorists with these wonderful people.' Well, yes, they may be wonderful people, but this is what that faith teaches, and those who believe it sincerely in their hearts are those that think Osama bin Laden is their great hero. And I think we need to recognize that. Political correctness says that you're not supposed to recognize this, but it just happens to be the truth. Every story, you see it over and over again, Muslim extremists blew up tr

My grandmother is into Robertson and she watches his show when we visit her. He does a lot of 'interpreting' the old testament. She tells me how the UN is a conspiracy for a 1 world government to prosecute christians. Now, she means well and feels it is her duty to God to do this but christ, if I would call anyone a fundamentalist christian, it would be Robertson.
I go to church every sunday and I believe in Jesus but both sides need to tone down; its wrong to criminalize christianity but its also not right for christianity to force itself on other people. Let everyone get to heaven their own way.
