good luck with that.
Outrage? You thought that was outrage? That was a rational, thoughtful, considered assessment of the man.

If you want to find a specific terrorist to start a thread about and ask me what I think of him, I'll do my best to express the appropriate level of outrage just to please you.

Anyone want to explain how Pat Robertson's attitude concerning the revenge of God is any different from that of the attitude of Muslim extremists?

Indeed! I find it terribly insensitive given all those who are freaking out because they don't know if they're loved ones are dead or alive and feel powerless to do anything.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Pat Robertson didn't actually cause the earthquake resulting in the death and destruction in Haiti.

Hey, hey! You'd better check that outrage there and save some of it for the terrorists. There's only so much outrage to go around, you know! Sheesh!

Proverbs 1: 22-33

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?


23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.


24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;


25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:


26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.


28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:


29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:


30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.


31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.


32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.


33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your initial question comparing Pat Robertson to Muslim extremists.
