Robertson Says Attacks Are a ‘Wake-Up Call’

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson called the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks a “wake-up call from God” and said the nation can shield itself from future wrath through a spiritual revival.

“The Lord is getting ready to shake this nation. We have not yet seen his judgment on America,” Robertson said at a Virginia Beach ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of his Christian Broadcasting Network.

Robertson said he stands by a statement he released after the attacks in which he said that Americans had insulted God by allowing abortion and “rampant Internet pornography” and that “God almighty is lifting his protection from us.”
