Though Mr. Robertson’s ideas might be a bit exaggerated and possibly a little on the harsh side, I do have to agree some what wit the fact that Islam, though indeed a religion just like any other, is used in large part for political and social gain by Islamic leaders throughout the world. There should be no surprise that many if not most of the nations around the world under the rule of Islam have deeply routed political and social struggles that the citizens within those countries have little to no control over.
