"Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson put forward a strategy Tuesday for combating militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria: "convert them or kill them."
Robertson was asked to opine on how to combat radical Islam and anti-Christian behavior on Fox News' "Hannity," after ISIS militants released a video showing the beheading of a second American journalist.
"In this case, you either have to convert them -- which I think would be next to impossible," Robertson said. "I'm not giving up on them, but I'm just saying either convert them or kill them. One or the other."
....
"I'd much rather have a bible study with all of them and show them the error of their ways and point them to Jesus Christ ... however, if it's a gunfight and a gunfight alone, if that's what they're looking for, I'm personally ready for either one," Robertson later added.

(82,849 posts)The Epistle of James says that faith without works is dead, being alone. Such large talk is meaningless without a concomitant action. Or are you saying that you are "personally ready" to watch others go on this crusade you're talking about? Are you willing to finance it, as you did not for the last two crusades? How about we raise your taxes to pay for those last two before we start running up the bills for your next delusional bloodbath?

Let's send him over. Looks like he's well-stocked with camo. I'm sure they will welcome him and his message.

(23,954 posts)maybe they could have some "expert" from the Bush jr. state dept. giving Phil and a few other select celebrity contestants additional random challenges, like "today you have to walk through downtown Mosul wearing only a hijab" or "this week your group has to re-enact 4 scenes from Revelations on the steps of a local mosque".
dunno, i think it's a winner, but it might be hard getting the lineup for a second season.

An endless supply of gullible fools to pour into the war machine.
To that end, the neocons are the most dangerous people in the world because they support and create both muslim and christian fundies.

But if a few "redneck taliban" want to fight their comrades, I say go for it. A few less trailer park trolls can't be a bad thing!

Then you could break out the song books and sing Little Brown Church in the Wild Wood. You do have something in common with them Phil. Beards. Guns. Knives. Decapitating ducks. Wait. They decapitate people. You'll have to catch up Phil.

(21,152 posts)policy like he is an expert. This dumb hillbilly who only got lucky because of his duck whistles and the A&E show. Sean Hannity fawning over him like he was a guru was repulsive. I wonder if Sean would socialize with Phil outside of the Fox studios (I don't think so) Phil looked like he needed a bath and those beards are gross and disgusting.

(20,582 posts)trouble is, he probably sees small children as future ISIS and would consider them a worthy target for his God (and I have nothing against religion for those who aren't nutters who make a living fleecing, especially the poor). Better take Nugent and Palin for some real action. Maybe Dubya, McCain, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Yoo ,Rumsfeldt and Rice too - confrontation of the monsters they helped create.
