There has been great controversy regarding recent statements made by televangelist Pat Robertson regarding the 7.0 Haiti earthquake that has devastated the nation and killed over 1 lac people.
Pat Robertson released a statement on his CBN website stating that the comments were taken out of context.
The statement released on the website said that Pat Robertson was speaking about Haiti’s history and the 1791 slave rebellion led by Dutty Boukman at Bois Caiman. There is a link to the Boukman ceremony as it pertains to the history of Haiti. The statement also indicates that Pat Robertson’s compassion for the Haitian people is evident if you listen to the video in context. According to the video, Pat Robertson believes that Haiti has been cursed due to the Dutty Boukman treaty that sparked the Haitian Revolution and that is evidenced by the nation’s abject poverty.
