Phil Robertson Sounding An Awful Lot Like the Quran... but He's a Christian, How Is This Possible?

"In this case, you either have to convert them -- which I think would be next to impossible. I'm not giving up on them, but I'm just saying either convert them or kill them. One or the other." Phil Robertson

Well now, sounds a great deal like what I have read in Islam's holy book, the Quran. Like I've maintained for years extremism is extremism no mater what suit the caricature is wearing.

TPM - "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson put forward a strategy Tuesday for combating militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria: "convert them or kill them."

Robertson was asked to opine on Fox News' "Hannity" about how to combat radical Islam and anti-Christian behavior, after ISIS militants released a video showing the beheading of a second American journalist.

"In this case, you either have to convert them -- which I think would be next to impossible," Robertson said. "I'm not giving up on them, but I'm just saying either convert them or kill them. One or the other."

Host Sean Hannity predicted the media would jump on that comment.

"I'd much rather have a Bible study with all of them and show them the error of their ways and point them to Jesus Christ ... however, if it's a gunfight and a gunfight alone, if that's what they're looking for, I'm personally ready for either one," Robertson later added.

It so happens that convert-or-die was the same ultimatum ISIS militants gave to Iraqi Christians after taking control of Mosul.

Robertson is making the media rounds to promote his new book, which defends comments he made on homosexuality in a GQ interview last year.

"I’m as much of a homophobe as Jesus was," Robertson said on "Good Morning America" while addressing the outcry over the remarks. "People who are participating in homosexual behavior, they need to know that I love them."

Take the time to partake of Phil Robertson's biblical take JUST BELOW THE FOLD.

    BTW......do the dems actually have a GPS address for "The Gates of Hell?" It seems we are going to follow ISIS there. I say if they are heading to Hell just let them go....no need to follow....

    Jerry: It took me one-tenth of a second reading Will's sentence to know he was speaking of lying awake in bed worrying about ISIS.

    RN: hmmm. you make a good point in this post. Now just switch Roberton's camo hat for a towel, and the physical resemblance is added too.

      I think it was a follow up to Quack Pack.

      Hint: I think if you are really into it, you can tell the difference between Huey, Dewey, and Lewey by the color of their hats.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers.
