I'm not a fan of Pat Robertson. I also am more inclined to think of the "cartoon rage" in psychological rather than "demonic" terms, but I'm glad he's making use of his virtually untouchable position as a senior preacher/pundit to say something that needed to be said. 

The problem is, he's stuck his foot in his mouth so many times, he invites himself to be written off, or worse yet, discredits himself for those occasions that he actually says something useful. So it's a mixed blessing; no pun intended. The cause of Western civilization needs more stable spokespersons.

From the Seattle Times:

He remarked that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoons "just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic, and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with."

Robertson also said that "the goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, is world domination."

Amen.

In a statement later Monday, Robertson said he was referring specifically to terrorists who want to bomb innocent people as being motivated by Satan.

Fair enough.  Being in driving distance at the moment, I can say with some certainty that Hell will freeze over tonight, whether or not it has anything to do with my agreeing with Pat Robertson. The good news is, as a result, the Browns could win a Superbowl any time now.
