#2 In a May 2 broadcast, the televangelist said Islam was a "1,400-year-old lie from the pits of hell" and called the Prophet Mohammed a "murdering pedophile." He also called the Quran a "book of fables and a book of lies."

The truth hurts.

#4 Even televangelists are right once in a while.

said Islam was a "1,400-year-old lie from the pits of hell" and called the Prophet Mohammed a "murdering pedophile." He also called the Quran a "book of fables and a book of lies."

If eliminating Islam requires putting up with televangelist slimeballs, I'm down with that. At least they aren't out to nuke us all.

#6 You always have the right to turn off the television if it offends you. You do NOT have the right to shut down the television station because it broadcasts something that offends you. That's the difference CAIR refuses to acknowledge. CAIR should be shut down and all its members expelled from the United States for undermining the Constitution and the rule of civil law.

#7 I suppose the owners of the station are free to broadcast or not broadcast whatever they want. But if they were smart they would sit back for a while and watch to see if their ratings jump when people find out they are broadcasting the truth. I mean, as long as CAIR is willing to give them the free publicity this guy Bill Keller could develop quite a following.

#8 You can believe that Muhammed: concocted the Koran; received the Koran through an angel; there is insufficient evidence to decide the issue of whether or not he was truthful. You CANNOT be a Christian, and believe that the Koran is a revealed document. Keller is very bright - I know about the 3 years in federal lockup - and he attacks all sects of Islam, Kabballah and liberal Christianity. I have found that he argues from conviction, and is open to allowing others to test his faith. Muslims deny: the crucifixion; the ressurection; the record of miracles; the divinity of Jesus Christ; the finality of the Christian prophecy and the inevitabilty of prophetic narrative. Do we silence Muslim imams because Christians find their denials to be abhorrent?

Can Muslims deny Muhammed's pedophilic tendencies? Bukhari and al-Tabari both record his marriage to a 6 year old girl, and the consummation of same when the "prophet" was 55. Was Muhammed a murderer? The Hadith notes only 1 killing attributed to Muhammed, and that was of a prisoner of war. Ergo: the "prophet" of Islam was a "murdering pedophile." Since the Koran is a hearsay document, calling it a "lie" is proper.

Fear not, Thomas Woof. I've had the occasional disturbing conversation about Revelations with Christian fundamentalists who would like nothing more than have Armageddon happen tomorrow. Fortunately, the vast majority of Christians I know understand thatunlike certain Persian fanatics and their 12^th imamthey are not supposed to actively bring about the End of Days and instead realize it is either allegorical or something that will be invoked by malign entities.

Old Patriot cuts to the chase on this one. Americans have the right to simply remove their support from a concept by boycotting it. Muslims seek to materially excise all contrary, antagonistic or competing thought models. CAIR needs to be banned, its stateside operations shut down, all of its executive directors imprisoned or deported and have its membership placed under 24/7/365 surveillance.
