Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson is once again giving his controversial two cents, this time on how he believes the United States should handle Islamic State terrorists.

"I'm just saying either convert them or kill them," the minister said during an interview with Fox News.

"I'd much rather have a Bible study with all of them and show them the error of their ways and point them to Jesus Christ. However, if it's a gunfight and a gunfight alone, if that's what they're looking for, me personally, I am prepared for either one."

During the program, he also compared the Islamic State to "street thugs on steroids," saying, "We are going to have to deal with this group way more harshly than we have up to this point."

This, of course, isn't the first time that the reality star has made headlines for his outspoken ways.

Last year he was temporarily suspended by A&E after he told GQ magazine that he thought homosexuality was a sin and even likened it with bestiality.

He later came forward and said during one of his Bible study groups, "I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater."

Robertson continued, "Sexual sins are numerous and many, I have a few myself. So what is your safest course of action? If you're a man, find yourself a woman, marry them and keep your sex right there."

His new book, unPHILtered: The Way I See It was released earlier this week.
