PRESS: Ann Coulter, Im glad we found the one person in the country who would stand up and defend Jerry Falwell. You yourself have had some unkind things to say about, maybe not the prophet Mohammed, but maybe Muslims.
On the 12th of September last year you said-quote-We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. I asked about you and about Reverend Falwell. How can Christians be so full of hate?
ANN COULTER, COLUMNIST: Christians dont consider converting someone to Christianity and saving their soul...
PRESS: How about killing their leaders?
COULTER: Well, this is one of these quotes that really doesnt matter what the column says, even though its posted all over the Internet and you can go read it yourself. In point of fact, I was not referring to all Muslims. I was referring to the enemy.
And I havent seen as good a description of the enemy since September 11, which was when I wrote that column, which is the people cheering and dancing in the streets right now. By the end of the week, point one and point two, invade their countries, kill their leaders, have become official government policy.
But to describe, you know, changing these peoples hearts and minds as a hateful thing to do is craziness, Bill.
BUCHANAN: All right, let me ask you, Ann. Reverend Falwell uses the
term terrorist. And Franklin Graham referred to the religion as-quote
an evil and wicked religion, I believe. And I believe Pat Robertson.
Is this something of Christian fundamentalists, that they believe?
I mean, first off, I dont know that Mohammed has ever been called a terrorist. I do know he was a warrior. Do you think this is advised?
COULTER: I think its true, and not solely on the basis of what Christian theologians have said, but on the basis of two Muslims who converted to Christianity. They described the Koran and Mohammed in some detail and with some accuracy, in their book, Unveiling Islam.
And yes, Mohammed, there were his Satanic visions. Sometimes he was possessed by Satan. He married a girl when she was six years old, called her in from the swing set and had sex with her at nine years old. And, you know, with all of these endless articles being written about, why do they hate us, and gee, what motivates these people? I dont know. I think maybe we ought to all have a better look at Islam.
PRESS: But, Ann, there are people who have killed in the name of Jesus. There have been millions of people killed in the name of Jesus. Isnt the problem with Christianity or with Judaism or Islam, people who misinterpret the message of the religion and then go out and do their own evil things? Its not the leader of the religion, the founder of the religion. Its their misguided followers.
COULTER: Well, this is what people want to believe because Americans are very kindhearted and ecumenical about things. But I think a strong argument can be made that, when Christians kill in the name of Christ, they are not being good Christians.
Millions of Muslims believe that Mohammed and the Koran does command them to kill infidels in the name of their religion. And theres a lot more to it there, than there is in the case of Christianity. I mean, what does a fundamentalist Christian do, someone who really believes literally everything the New Testament says? He really goes out and turns the other cheek?
I mean, you cant find anything recommending violence or killing infidels in the New Testament. You can in the Koran.
BUCHANAN: Very quickly, Ann, do you think theres a war coming between Islam and Christendom, or the West, all out-war?
COULTER: No. But the way it is being pitched is more as a war of freedom and democracy versus a way of Islamic dictatorships. But I do think the Christian element is part of that.
PRESS: Thanks, Ann.
BUCHANAN: Thank you, Ann.
PRESS: Well be right back, BUCHANAN AND PRESS.

I have read other places that the girl was age 9 and 12 rather than 6 and 9. Anybody have sources? And does it really matter?

Revelation 13 1 And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.

I don't believe millions of people were killed in the name of Jesus; it was more that they were killed in the name of the church; churches are institutions first and servants second.
Ecumenism is feckless fatutity as it is practiced in modern time.
Salvation through association is a construct not a commandment.
