Robertson, Sheldon: Muslim-Americans not fit for higher office in America

Pat Robertson and Lou Sheldon says that Muslims-Americans are not fit for higher office in America.

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.
