Al Sharpton on Pat Robertson: 'Un-Christian'

Chicago Tribune:
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who visited Chicago today to ask churches to contribute to Haitian relief funds, took umbrage at comments by an evangelical broadcaster that the people of Haiti might have brought upon themselves the earthquake that left tens of thousands dead. Televangelist Pat Robertson said last week on his TV show that slaves in Haiti "swore a pact to the devil" to obtain their freedom from French colonial authorities more than 200 years ago. Robertson said the Haitians told Satan, "We will serve you," and that "ever since (the pact), they have been cursed." Sharpton, at Christ Universal Temple in the South Side on Sunday, said the statements were "repulsive" and "un-Christian."
