I'm pretty busy today, and didn't have the time to post, but I just can't resist.

The White House spoke out against it - the guy who lives there is christian
The State Department spoke out against it
Pat Robertson is not a religous leader. he is a broadcaster. He is not on the same plane in the christian community that mullahs are in the islamic community. There is a difference. There's no christian outcry because 1) Many christians do not consider him as a spiritual leader 2) Robertson suggested a state policy, he didn't "issue a fatwa" or "call his followers to arms" or tell people to strap bombs to themselves and kill as many people and create as much destruction and mayham as possible.
Anyone that cannot see the difference needs to really ask themselves which side they are on.
