Carl, that is not what the two said here is what they said: Television evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, two of the most prominent voices of the religious right, said liberal civil liberties groups, feminists, homosexuals and abortion rights supporters bear partial responsibility for Tuesday's terrorist attacks because their actions have turned God's anger against America. As you can see, the existence of those "liberals" have nothing to do with El-Queda, it is those "liberals" that bear partial responsibility", the terrorists were only a tool in the hand of God, to execute one of the old almighty "anger tantrums". Frankly, being one of the "Chosen" for the almighty frequent "anger tantrums", I came to the conclusion long ago that the almighty does not need an excuse such as the "liberalization" of America, to throw his tantrums. OIn my book, those "liberals" that "forced on us" the civil rights movement, equal rights to women and other aweful, god forbidden actions, are closer to to G-d than these two television evangelists. I also do not need a Falwell or a Robertson to act like Elisha, who got a bear to devour two kids just because they offended him by calling him "bald man". Zeev Zeev

Hi Carl, No, it's not a religious issue, imo, it's a power issue. The US is the Global Phone Company that everyone complains about but has to have. Warlords and intermediaries get leverage and profit from attacking us, at least in the past - "criticize the US, get a cookie" has been the policy. Our corrupt politicians and military advocates get paid off for voting for billions in aid to other corrupt politicians in other countries. They don't answer to the citizens, that's for certain. You can see that in the flow of oil dollars to the corrupt rulers in the middle east, with outright grants and military contributions, as well as our extortionate tax rates on those least able to avoid it. Religion is a sideshow. Even the Taliban don't believe their own hype, as seen by the large defections. It is used successfully on the gullible, but when given a choice most of the gullible open their eyes. Which is why the US is dangerous to that closed environment.

Carl said< I am a Christian, but I do not listen to either Falwell or Robertson, so I can't say that I know exactly what it was that they said.> On first hearing Falwell and Robertson saying the statements "were taken out of context and twisted to things they did not say", i went and searched out the transcript of that show in question and found out that NOTHING was taken out of context and they said exactly what they were charged with saying,and they by the "out of context" argument were shamelessly lying to cover the truth of the fact they be two mean-spirited men and the one thing i feel of those that contemplate the mystery G-d can agree,there is no place for mean-spiritedness in the realm of G-d.Max
