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.

Partnering with Mossberg, Duck Commander, the company founded by Phil Robertson will begin marketing line firearms that will include “ nine different shotguns, as well as two semiautomatic rifles and a semiautomatic pistol .” Now, I have nothing against firearms, hunting, or ducks.

Just in from Mediate - The controversy surrounding Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has now taken a step beyond his comments about homosexuality and bestiality, along with his assertion that black people in the Jim Crow South were happier and equating Muslims with Nazis. Now with yet another video that’s surfaced, we’re once again reminded that this is nothing new for Robertson, who explained to an Arkansas congregation in 2008 what would “do in the Muslims,” as well as “the Chinese,” and that Muslims are “famous for murder.” “What will do the Muslims in?” Robertson asked in the middle of his speech before the Hillsboro Church of Christ in El Dorado. “Violations of the law, that’s what’ll do ‘em in,” he said waving his bible in the air.

I guess to the muddled minds of some floating on the fringes the comparison makes perfect sense. Yep, for some the best thing to do when in a hole is to keep digging, I guess. BUCK DYNASTY STAR IS ROSA PARK OF OUR GENERATION Friday, December 20th, 2013 @ 4:23PM Today, Ian Bayne called Phil Robertson, star of the A&E series “Duck Dynasty,” the ‘Rosa Parks’ of our generation. “In December 1955, Rosa Parks took a stand against an unjust societal persecution of black people, and in December 2013, Robertson took a stand against persecution of Christians,” said Bayne. Parks, famous for refusing to give up her seat on a bus for a white person, as was the rule of her day, provided inspiration for a movement of equality of black people and white people in America. “What Parks did was courageous,” said Bayne. “What Mr. Rober...
