In an interview about the possibilities of a Rudy Guiliani presidency, Pat Robertson spoke his mind:

Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Robertson — who founded the Christian Coalition — also said he would be wary of appointing Muslims to top positions in the U.S. government, including judgeships.

His comments on Islam drew a heated response from Muslim leaders, who criticized them as racist and inaccurate.

Another conservative Christian leader, the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, was more cautious in an interview about embracing Giuliani as a presidential candidate, but said he was inclined to agree with Robertson's view of Islam.

This is where people of honor draw the line. This is where we say "no," that our country does not believe things like this. This is where we reject hate and bigotry born of ignorance and fear.

Where are the leaders with enough courage to fight terror by becoming more open, more inclusive? They are among us. Why do they not speak?
