(1) Pat Robertson is a religious leader and he shouldn't be calling for anyone to be killed - it's no different than Muslim clerics calling for Jihad.

While true, I must admit that don't take Pat Robertson's fatwa as seriously as I take those of the Islamists. I don't actually think the US Government or anyone in the US is going to act on his threat. It may be an inappropriate thing to say, but its quite a different matter when you are regularly calling for people to die and you've got an army of people who will carry out your wishes.
