Pat Robertson's latest target? Saturday Night Live.

"If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!" Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"Tebow is an example, and I think he is a wonderful human being," Robertson said. "We need more religious faith in our society. We're losing our moral compass in our nation and this man has been placed in a unique position and I applaud him. God bless him."
