UNHOLY GOVERNOR-EVANGELIST TIE

Even before taking the oath of office, Virginia Governor-elect Bob McDonnell is already troubling Muslims because of his close links to controversial evangelist Pat Robertson, who is infamous for his anti-Islam rants. McDonnell, who won the Virginia gubernatorial race, received a $25000 donation from Robertson, who has earned notoriety for his scathing attacks on Islam, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be to him) and Muslims. The controversial evangelist attended McDonnell’s election night victory party, asserting they share common ideas. After the election, Robertson made his latest anti-Islam rant describing the Muslim faith as “a violent political system rather than a religion.” He suggested American Muslims, estimated at eight millions, should be treated like members of a communist or fascist party. Robertson believes Americans who embrace Islam exhibit “insanity” and advises against appointing Muslims to government positions.
