Gordon Robertson, Pat Robertson’s son, tells that he is especially concerned about the return to Egypt after a 30-year exile of Sunni cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, as that nation tries to reform its political institutions.
“You look at some of the statements he says, where he wants to wipe Israel off the map, he’s calling for genocide of all Israelis — every man, woman, and child,” Gordon Robertson says.
“He’s publicly said if you kill a pregnant Israeli woman you’re doing good, because you’re killing a future soldier. So you look at those kinds of statements and that kind of influence within the Muslim Brotherhood, where they’ve invited him to come run the organization, there are disturbing elements,” he tells Newsmax.
It remains “an open question” whether Democracy will prevail in the wake of the Middle East protests, Gordon Robertson says.
“But I want to hope for the best,” he says. “I want to hope that the youth can put in a secular democracy, there can be free and open elections. [That] the Christian minority, the Coptic Christians in Egypt, will be protected. And I hope it doesn’t turn out like Iraq.
“Iraq had one of the oldest Christian communities in the world, and it’s been decimated since the war, and they’ve left in droves because they weren’t safe in their homes,” Gordon Robertson says.
