Bryan Fischer agrees with caller: Sharia law would be ‘preferable to what we have now’

On Monday, the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer said to an on-air caller that Islamists are right to condemn the United States as “the Great Satan.”

According to Right Wing Watch, the anti-LGBT advocate and Christian conservative agrees with the sentiment because of all the pornography the country produces and because we are “corrupting the morality of the entire world.”

In a recent column, Fischer called the Islamic faith a “contagious infection, a totalitarian ideology that threatens the social health of its infected host, the United States. This contagion needs to be contained by stopping Islamic immigration at our border. Just as we screen immigrants for contagious physical diseases, so we need to screen immigrants for contagious cultural diseases.


On Monday afternoon, a caller on Fischer’s program opined that Islamic Sharia law would be “preferable to what we have right now” in the U.S., where abortion and pornography are legal.

Islamic fundamentalists, Fischer responded, “rightly accuse the United States of corrupting the morality of the entire world.”

“It’s just embarrassing, it’s humiliating that we have given them that” to hold over us, he said. “When they go out and say the United States is the Great Satan because of all the pornography it produces, how do you argue against that because they are right. That is the work of Satan; we’re producing it, we’re distributing it all over around world, they have every right to complain about that.”

So, videos of people having sex cause terrorism? Wha?

Somebody show this freak to a hospital pretty soon. Reality is not his strong point.

I mean, anyone who can do the math understands that the biggest difference between the assorted authoritarian fundamentalist dickwadisms is really one of branding, but...

All about the chosen people and subservience to the mouthpieces God put in authority over the masses. Except, I don't think Mr. Fischer would accept those Levitican laws that require legal provision of help and economic mercy to the poor and destitute of your own people instead of grinding them down into the dust like enemies or criminals. 'Cause people like Mr. Fischer, who automatically assume God can only bless people with charisma, power and wealth, see God whenever they look in the mirror, and hear God whenever they consider actions that benefit them.

I expect that Mr. Fischer has a large collection of 1lb. or larger stones ready in 20 lb. burlap sacks for quick and easy transportation. And plenty of wet-wipes and stain remover wipes to wash the blood of "properly punished" sinners and disobedient wives and children off his hands.

Those filled with greed, hate, fear, or envy will only speak for a God that is full of greed, hate, fear, or envy.

I do not want to live in a country like that. Somewhere our founding fathers are triple face palming this.

They are envious of Islam - in that it gets control over government in many countries.
