I am yet to understand how any religious body can get on national television in a country and lie to people namely Pat Robertson of the 700 Club which is a Christian program.

I have been laid up a bit lately with my arthritis and so I decided as usual to channel surf and what came across my set was Pat Robertson asking people to stay on this particular channel to hear the truth about Islam and his guest of all people Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch.

Myself, I have always been and honest peaceful person and for these people to slanderize the Islamic religion was actually more disgraceful then words can express.

Not only did they insult the prophet Mohammad (PBUH), by calling him a false prophet and saying he was nothing but a liar and a thief; along with bending as well as warping saying’s to fit their agenda.

Then they perpetrated that Islam is nothing but a cult, that is blood thirsty almost like one of Anne Rice’s vampire books and that anyone within Islam that was not kill crazy was not truly following all the dictates of the religion.

I am yet to wonder how could any people get on television at tell such plantants lies to the American people and I would certainly hope that people wouldn't believe such venous insults to any people, culture or religion living upon this earth.

It brings me back to something that my grandfather use to tell me, if you are not sure what people are telling you go to the real source and find the truth. And I will assure you it is not Pat Robertson, Robert Spencer nor the 700 Club.

As for us mistreating Christians in any manner, I have never heard such a thing in all my life. As I believe I have mentioned before, I have had or still have several friends that just so happens to be Christian and yes some are American as well.

I also got the idea the these same people are trying to force people to buy Robert Spencer’s new book even going so far as saying it was on the American best seller’s list and I would hope people instead of reading blatant propaganda and lies to undermined any people in this world that as educated well meaning people go to the source; learn the truth for yourself, because in all things this is the only way you will really find the truth; not by these kind of people.

Especially Pat Robertson, who not so long ago advocated murder himself.

In regards to Robert Spencer’s latest book that was shown on this program, the main thing that this book is actually useful for and I even mentioned this to a very nice Christian lady at the bookstore today, that it’s only form of usefulness was to hold up a leg on a table that wear had made it short, not for reading material in any manner and she agreed; with a chuckle.

To give a hint of how Mr. Spencer works, he quotes information from such people as Jerry Vines who was a pastor associated with the Southern Baptist Convention; who retired February 7, 2006.

And anyone that knows of this man and his controversial statements towards Islam in 2002 and the many that accused him not only of blatant racism but outright Islamophobia because of accusations he made that wasn’t true.

He also refused to apologize for the statements or to meet with local Muslim leaders.

In my opinion he wanted his 15 minutes of fame, at the cost of many human lives and like so many in this rotten apple barrel; didn’t care who he hurt or what the repercussions were to innocent people. From my observation only the weak minded seem to believe the sort of people.

But like Mr. Spencer, Mr. Vines got or attempted to get their 15 minutes and I will assure them it is time to move on because in the long run these types of people only end up hurting themselves not those they are being Racist or lying against.

Like I mentioned before seek the truth and not from people like these, who have a dirty thunder mug and can’t find a window to throw it out of or the wind is always in their direction making the smell very bad as their clothing is dripping wet.
