When discussing the Fort Hood shootings on The 700 Club yesterday, Pat Robertson called Islam “not a religion, but a political system,” and called for the U.S. to treat its followers “as we would members of the Communist party, or members of some fascist group.”
Robertson also claimed that suspected shooter Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was only allowed to stay in his post “because of political correctness. We just don’t talk about somebody’s quote religion, even if the religion involves beheading infidels and pouring boiling oil down their throats.”
He later continued:
Islam is a violent, I was gonna say religion but it’s not a religion, it’s a political system. It’s a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination. That is the ultimate aim. And they talk about Infidels and all this, but the truth is that’s what the game is. So you’re dealing with a, not a religion, you’re dealing with a political system. And I think we should treat it as such, and treat it’s adherents as such, as we would members of the Communist Party, or members of some fascist group.
Here’s the full clip:
