Pat Robertson calls Muslims “satanic”
On his live television programme, The 700 Club, he said radical Islamists were inspired by “demonic power”.
A US religious liberty watchdog called the comments “grossly irresponsible”.
Mr Robertson had to apologise recently for calling for Venezuela’s president to be killed, and saying Ariel Sharon was struck down by divine retribution.
His latest comments were expunged from The 700 Club’s website, but Mr Robertson’s Virginia-based Christian Broadcasting Network confirmed them with a transcript.
