OUT LOUD

NewsReligious Herald  |  April 16, 2008

“I want to say it again, and again, and again: Islam is not a religion. It is a political system … bent on world domination, not a religion.”

Pat Robertson

The religious broadcaster was speaking on his “700 Club” program. (RNS)

 OutLoud

“No pharaoh went off to the afterlife better equipped than he.”

Christopher Buckley

The son of the late Catholic intellectual William F. Buckley was speaking to Catholic News Service about some of the items placed in his father's casket, includling his rosary, a television remove control, a jar of peanut butter and his mother's ashes. (RNS)

“What I find striking is that many white brothers and sisters miss the fact that there would be no black church if the white church wasn't political and racist in refusing to worship with us.”

Michael Eric Dyson

The Baptist minister and Georgetown University sociology professor was speaking in an interview with USA Today. (RNS)
