- Below are some quotes from the world's most hard-core
religious extremists... Osama Bin Laden, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson,
George Bush 41, George Bush 43, John Ashcroft, Franklin Graham, and others.
-
- If they spoke the same language and all referred to god
as Allah rather than God or vice-versa, the quotes could actually be swapped
and used verbatim by either side to stir up the ignorant masses.
-
- They make the same accusations about America as Bin Laden.
They make the same statements about American morality. They make the
same inflammatory statements on everything EXCEPT Judaism, with the only
difference being Bin Laden wants to kill the Jews, while the Christian
Coalition wants to convert the Jews, and THEN kill the ones who won't convert
after they rebuild the Temple of Solomon.

ask yourself, "WHO STARTED IT?"

- ON AMERICA'S CHARACTER FLAWS...
-
- "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for
this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little
innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and
the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who
are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People
for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America
-- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"
- Rev. Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals,
and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September
11, 2001, quoted from John F. Harris, "God Gave U.S. 'What We Deserve,'
Falwell Says," The Washington Post (September 14, 2001)
-
-
- "AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals;
it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."
- Jerry Falwell
-
-
- "We ask you next to stop your unfair acts, lies,
immorality and debauchery.
-
- We regret to tell you that you are the worst civilization
in the history of mankind:
-
- ...You run a society contrary to the nature of mankind
by separating religion from your policies. So much so that people believe
that even if they commit adultery, theft, and other wicked acts, as long
as they go and confess, everything will be okay...
-
- ...Your nation endorses gambling in its all forms. Your
companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming
active and the criminals becoming rich.
-
- ... And because of all this, you have been described
as the nation of all kinds of different diseases -- diseases that had never
existed in the past. So you have to be proud of yourself, because your
evil acts have spread AIDS all around the world, especially to the poorest
countries in the world, killing many millions." - Osama Bin Laden,
2002
-
-
- "It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist
movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by
a Christ-centered men's movement which may become the foundation for a
desperately needed national spiritual awakening." - Jerry Falwell
(source unknown)
-
-
- "Your nation exploits women like consumer products
or advertising tools, calling upon customers to purchase them. You use
women to serve passengers, visitors and strangers to increase your profit
margins. You plaster your naked daughters across billboards in order to
sell a product without any shame. You have brainwashed your daughters into
believing they are liberated by wearing revealing clothes, yet in reality
all they have liberated is your sexual desire. After all this you say that
you are the nation that supports women's freedom." - Osama Bin Laden,
2002
-
-
- "There will never be world peace until God's house
and God's people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top
of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists,
atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators,
greedy moneychangers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals
are on top?" - Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 227, Word Publishing,
1991
-
-
- "Your nation encourages drinking alcohol in all
its shapes and forms i.e. production, trading and usage. On the one hand,
you have made selling and using some drugs illegal, yet you so often turn
a blind eye to this vice. Is it any surprise that your country has the
largest drug addiction problem?" - Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- "Bill Clinton created an epidemic of oral sex in
our nation's High Schools." - Jerry Falwell
-
-
- Who can forget your previous President's immoral acts
committed in the Oval office? After that you did not even bother putting
him on trial and instead allowed him to wriggle himself out of the situation
without reprimanding him in any way. History will remember you for all
of this. - Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- ON CHURCH AND STATE
-
- "And, I know that I'll hear from them for this.
But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system,
throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools." ... Jerry
Falwell, September 11, 2001
-
- "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early
days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will
have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a
happy day that will be!" - Rev. Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved,
1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations
on Religious Freedom
-
-
- You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Law
of Allah, choose to implement your own inferior rules and regulations,
thus following your own vain whims and desires. You run a society contrary
to the nature of mankind by separating religion from your policies. So
much so that people believe that even if they commit adultery, theft, and
other wicked acts, as long as they go and confess, everything will be okay.
... Osama Bin Laden, 2002

- "God, the source of all knowledge, should never

-
-
- Sherman: What will you do to win the votes of the Americans
who are Atheists?
-
- Bush: I guess I'm pretty weak in the Atheist community.
Faith in god is important to me.
-
- Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and
patriotism of Americans who are Atheists?
-
- Bush: No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered
as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation
under God.
-
- Sherman (somewhat taken aback): Do you support as a
sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?
-
- Bush: Yes, I support the separation of church and state.
I'm just not very high on Atheists. - George H W Bush, to a AA reporter
Robert I. Sherman in August 27,1987, while serving as vice-president and
running for President

- "Therefore, I, George W. Bush, Governor of Texas,
do hereby proclaim June 10, 2000, Jesus Day in Texas and urge the appropriate

- "We receive our rights from God. The decision points
up the fact that we need common-sense judges who understand that our rights
were derived from God. Those are the kind of judges I intend to put on
the bench." - George W. Bush, in statements to reporters with Russian
President Vladimir Putin. (Note: Putin is an atheist.) Bush was criticizing
the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that references to God make reciting
the Pledge of Allegiance in schools unconstitutional. June 26, 2002

-
- "The "wall of separation between church and
state" is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved
useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned."
...William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Dissenting
Opinion in Wallace v. Jaffree (1985)
-
-
-
- ON THE CONSTITUTION
-
- "Modern U.S. Supreme Courts have raped the Constitution
and raped the Christian faith and raped the churches by misinterpreting
what the founders had in mind in the First Amendment of the Constitution...
We must fight against those radical minorities who are trying to remove
God from our textbooks, Christ from our nation. We must never allow our
children to forget that this is a Christian nation. We must take back what
is rightfully ours." -Jerry Falwell, March 1993 sermon
-
-
- "The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi
party is to Jews." - Rev. Jerry Falwell (source unknown)
-
-
- "America has made many accusations against us and
many other Muslims around the world. Its charge that we are carrying out
acts of terrorism is an unwarranted description.
-
- "We never heard in our lives a court decision to
convict someone based on a "secret" proof it has. The logical
thing to do is to present a proof to a court of law. What many leaders
have said so far is that America has an indication only, and not a tangible
proof. They describe those brave guys who took the battle to the heart
of America and destroyed its most famous economic and military landmarks."
- Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- ON RELIGION
-
- "The Bible is the inerrant ... word of the living
God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining
to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science,
history, etc." - Jerry Falwell, Finding Inner Peace and Strength
-
-
- "Unique among the nations, America recognized the
source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and
temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America
has been different. We have no king but Jesus." - John Ashcroft,
Commencement address given on May 8, 1999, upon receiving an honorary degree
at ultra-right-wing and ultra-fundamentalist Bob Jones University, also
known for its anti-African-American segregationist policies.
-
-
- "This is the religion that has the Qur'an, the book
that has not been changed like the other books. The Qur'an is the living
miracle until the Day of Judgment. Allah has challenged anyone to bring
a book like the Quran or even ten versus like it. To date this challenged
has not been met, will not and can not be met, as the Quran is the uncreated
Speech of Allah." ... Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- "The Bible does not contain the word of God. Listen
to me closely. The Bible is the word of God..."
-
- "...Every grain of sand, every grain of sand between
the Dead Sea, the Jordan River, and, and the Mediterranean Sea belongs
to the Jews..." - Ed McAteer, founder of the Moral Majority
-
-
- VIEWS ON JEWS...
-
- The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They
are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior.
- Jerry Falwell, Listen, America!
-
- As a result of this, the Jews controlled your economy
and then your media and now control all aspects of your life, making you
their servants and achieving their aims at your expense, which is what
Binyameen (Benjamin) Franklin warned you against. - Osama Bin Laden 2002
-
-
- Billy Graham: "...the country is caught in a stranglehold
of Jews in the news and entertainment business. This stranglehold's got
to be broken or the country's going down the drain,"
-
- NIXON: "You believe that?"
-
- Billy Graham: "Yes sir... "
-
- NIXON: "Oh boy," replied an elated Nixon, "So
do I. I can't ever say that, but I believe it."
-
- Billy Graham: "No, but if you get elected a second
time, then we might be able to do something."
-
- Billy Graham: "a lot of the Jews are great friends
of mine. They swarm around me and are friendly to me. Because they know
I am friendly to Israel and so forth. They don't know how I really feel
about what they're doing to this country."...From the Nixon tape transcripts
released late last year
-
-
- Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people. Behind
you, there are the Jews who are controlling your policies, media and economy.
- Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- "The Jews need conversion. They need to know that
the Messiah is coming. And the Bible tells us what's going to happen."
- Kay Arthur, US Evangelist, 2002
-
-
- GOOD VS EVIL
-
- We're fighting against humanism, we're fighting against
liberalism ... we are fighting against all the systems of Satan that are
destroying our nation today ... our battle is with Satan himself. -- Rev.
Jerry Falwell (source unknown)
-
-
- "Those who believe fight in the Cause of Allah,
and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taguut (anything worshipped
other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan;
ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."[Quran 4:76] - Osama Bin
Laden, quoting the Quran, 2002
-
-
- "The idea that religion and politics don't mix was
invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country."
- Rev. Jerry Falwell, Sermon, July 4, 1976
-
-
- The most unique thing about you, is your use of weapons
and power everywhere -- not for defensive purposes, but for destructive
ones. It is you who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, even though Japan
was ready to negotiate an end to the war. So what is left on the list of
the most heinous, evil and unjust acts that you have not done? And you
call yourself the nation of freedom and justice. - Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- ON FIGHTING A CRUSADE
-
- "I think Mohammed was a terrorist. He - I read enough
of the history of his life written by both Muslims and - and - non-Muslims,
that he was a - a violent man, a man of war. In my opinion, and I do believe
that - Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses. And I think that Mohammed
set an opposite example." - Jerry Falwell, 2002
-
-
- Muslims believe that all the Messengers and Prophets
are from Allah, including Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus)
and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. So when those
who say that the Torah mentions that the followers of Musa should live
in Palestine, do they not also see that the Muslims are the best suited
for this position? The blood pouring out of Palestine must be treated -
with revenge of equal quantity. - Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- "If Christian people work together, they can succeed
during this decade in winning back control of the institutions that have
been taken from them over the past 70 years. Expect confrontations that
will be not only unpleasant but at times physically bloody.... This decade
will not be for the faint of heart, but the resolute. Institutions will
be plunged into wrenching change. We will be living through one of the
most tumultuous periods of human history. When it is over, I am convinced
God's people will emerge victorious." - Pat Robertson, Pat Robertson's
Perspective octavo 1992
-
-
- What America is tasting now is something insignificant
compared to what we have tasted for scores of years. Our nation (the Islamic
world) has been tasting this humiliation and this degradation for more
than 80 years. Its sons are killed, its blood is shed, its sanctuaries
are attacked, and no one hears and no one heeds. - Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- We call you to Islam; the last religion that has replaced
all the previous religions; the religion of good manners, sincerity, mercy,
fear of Allah, kindness to others, justice between people, giving the rights
to people who deserve them, protection of people from oppressors and unjust
acts; the religion which calls upon its followers to amr bil maroof (enjoin
the good) and nahi an al-munkar (forbid the evil) with hand, tongue and
heart. This is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah's
Word and religion are made Supreme. This is the religion of obligation
to Allah, demanding its followers to act with justice and equality between
people without differentiating between their language, sex or color. -
Osama Bin Laden, 2002
-
-
- "It is interesting, that termites don't build things,
and the great builders of our nation almost to a man have been Christians,
because Christians have the desire to build something. He is motivated
by love of man and God, so he builds. The people who have come into (our)
institutions (today) are primarily termites. They are into destroying
institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities,
governments, our own traditions, that we have.... The termites are in charge
now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for
a godly fumigation." - Pat Robertson, New York Magazine, August 18,
1986
-
-
- We -- with Allah's help -- call on every Muslim who believes
in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah's order to kill
the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.
We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the
raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them,
and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.
- Osama Bin Laden, 1998
-
- This is a new kind of -- a new kind of evil. And we understand.
And the American people are beginning to understand. This crusade, this
war on terrorism is going to take a while. And the American people must
be patient. I'm going to be patient... - George W Bush, September 16,
2001
-
-
- WHO OWNS AMERICA?
-
- "When I said during my presidential bid that I would
only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm.
"What do you mean?" the media challenged me. "You're not
going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that
those who believe in the Judeo-Christian values are better qualified to
govern America than Hindus and Muslims?" My simple answer is, "Yes,
they are." - Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 218
-
- "This country was not built by Hindus, nor Muslims,
nor atheists," he said. "It was built by Christian men and women."
- Franklin Graham, legitimate but nevertheless complete and total Bastard
son of Billy Graham
-
- "So, we tell the Americans as people, and we tell
the mothers of soldiers and American mothers in general that if they value
their lives and the lives of their children, to find a nationalistic government
that will look after their interests and not the interests of the Jews.
The continuation of tyranny will bring the fight to America, as Ramzi
Yousef and others did. This is my message to the American people: to look
for a serious government that looks out for their interests and doesnot
attack others, their lands, or their honor. And my word to American journalists
is not to ask why we did that but ask what their government has done that
forced us to defend ourselves." - Osama Bin Laden, Esquire Magazine,
1999 (I ask you, is this not precisely what America has done? Elected
a Nationalistic madman who makes Patriotism synonymous with Nationalism?
WHO DOES THIS SERVE?)

for the World Council of Churches, 2000
-

stupid people are conservative." - John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)
