They’re angry that Giuliani hasn’t rejected the endorsement.

Apparently they don’t like what Robertson has been saying about them:

On his “700 Club” program, Robertson has repeatedly defamed Islam and Muslims. He called Muslims “satanic,” claimed the Quran, Islam’s revealed text, is “fraudulent” and said Islam is “a monumental scam.” Robertson also called the Prophet Muhammad “an absolute wild-eyed fanatic, a robber and a brigand...a killer” and said the goal of Islam is “world domination.”

I really don’t blame them for being upset by those statements. They’re not the whole truth. When Robertson was talking about Muhammed he forgot to include “pedophile” along with robber, brigand, killer, and so on. Accuracy is important in things like this, you know.

I think they’re a little upset over statements like this, too:

He called Islam the “religion of the slavers,” claimed Americans who convert to Islam exhibit “insanity” and said he would be wary of appointing Muslims to positions in the U.S. government, including judgeships.

In announcing his endorsement of Giuliani, Robertson referred to the “bloodlust of Islamic terrorists.”

CAIR’S whining response:

“It is truly disturbing that a presidential candidate of any party would accept the endorsement and seek the advice of a person with such a clear record of anti-Muslim bigotry,” said CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor.

Oh, and as a bit of a disclaimer I have to say this....I don’t like Pat Robertson, either, but until I hear a ringing condemnation from CAIR of suicide bombings, the abuse of women, the persecution of anyone who isn’t a Muslim, the murder of innocent civilians, and the continual preaching of hate I’m afraid I have to give this one to him on points

The truth hurts, doesn’t it, CAIR?
