It was only a matter of time before televangelist Pat Robertson would make controversial remarks regarding the events during the Boston Marathon yesterday. Wait no more:
While Robertson does not make a direct reference to Islam, it is pretty clear this is the "religion of peace" he means. It wouldn't be out of character as his Islamophobia is well documented here, here and here.
The reality, though, is that Robertson may not be entirely in command of his full faculties anymore. Whether he has called chronic illnesses "psychosomatic" or rebuking demons out of used clothing, Robertson has progressively moved into stranger and stranger territories.
At this point, it is not even worth arguing against his theology, LGBT bashing, Islamophobia and other craziness as it just calls further attention to him. It is a similar tactic that has been proposed for the publicity loving Westboro Baptist Church - ignore them, and wait for them to go away.
