“Comments on Islam, denominational tensions, and motorcycle evangelism”

“This is worse than the Nazis. Adolf Hitler was bad, but what the Muslims want to do to the Jews is worse.”

Pat Robertson, on his November 11 700 Club broadcast.

“Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others.”

President George W. Bush, in November 13 remarks with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan

“If we are fussing, we are not fishing. … Our job is not to throw rocks, but to throw ropes.”
