Print Story: Robertson Says Giuliani Would Be 'Good President' on Yahoo! News
Robertson, who launched a brief presidential bid in 1988, said that if he were president he would not appoint Muslims to serve in his Cabinet and that he was not in favor of Muslims serving as judges.
"They have said in the Koran there's a war against all the infidels," he said. "Do you want somebody like that sitting as a judge? I wouldn't."
He ran for President in 1988, as I recall, and didn't do that well. Today...he might do better, if he turned his mind to it.
Still, comments like this make Gilead, or the "Christian Fascist" regime mentioned in Hammered, or Nehemiah Scudder ever more slightly plausible.
Not just muslims should denounce Robertson for this, everyone of every faith (or agnoticism/atheism of same) should denounce such comments.
Of course I am under no delusions. I admit that a freely admitted Atheist or Pagan could not be elected to high office in this country and probably never really could.
And that's dead wrong, too.
