Pat Robertson and Allah

The other day while awaiting the start of another TV program I see the end of the 700 Club. Pat Robertson is asked a question about Allah and says that Allah is some other entity than the God of Christians and Jews. Some research on the cbn.com site reveals that Robertson's thinks that, “Allah was the moon god from Mecca.” Pat Robertson seems like an intelligent and educated man, but I find this to be really ignorant. To begin with God is not God's name, but is rather His job title. Robertson correctly points out that His name is Yahweh (sometimes Latinized to Jehovah) which translates to I Am that I Am. Allah is the Arabic word for god. So, if an Arabic speaking Christian is to refer to God, he says, “Allah.” Now, I am certain that the Christian, Muslim and Jewish views of God have some differences. Maybe they are all correct, for there is no other non-God entity that is able to completely contemplate the entire nature of Him. Since, Robertson is not as ignorant or stupid as he appears, I must assume that he is playing to his audience and their ignorance. I do not know which is more evil, intentional ignorance which the audience displays, or Robertson's manipulative display of ignorance.

Right Wing Muslim Activism

In today's San Francisco Chronicle there is an Associated Press story detailing efforts of Muslim organizations to foster religious tolerance. Nihad Awad, head of the Council on Islamic-American Relations (CAIR), calls on Muslims to open their mosques to other faith groups as well as urging visits to others' houses of worship. In May author John Loftus joins WFMU-FM/WFMU.org personality Dave Emory to discuss Muslim efforts to infiltrate American society. Below is a link to the written description of this interview.

According to this depiction, “...CAIR (The Coun­cil on American-Islamic Rela­tions), a Mus­lim Broth­er­hood front orga­ni­za­tion in Amer­ica. Con­cep­tu­al­ized as sort of a NAACP for Mus­lims, CAIR is actu­ally ded­i­cated to the sub­ju­ga­tion of Amer­i­can con­sti­tu­tional and demo­c­ra­tic val­ues to Sharia–Islamic law. It would not be inac­cu­rate to describe it as a front orga­ni­za­tion for ter­ror­ists. CAIR was an unin­dicted co-conspirator in the recently-concluded Holy Land Foun­da­tion trial.” The Muslim Brotherhood is a right wing organization founded by an ally of Adolf Hitler. As I ask in an earlier post, who is financing these groups as well as the building of the Ground Zero Mosque?
