Bill O'Reilly unloads on CAIR executive director Nihad Awad
Daily Caller ^ | April 24, 2013 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/24/2013 5:49:51 AM PDT by Rufus2007

On his Tuesday program, “The O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly took on Nihad Awad, the founder and executive director of the controversial pro-Muslim group the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

O’Reilly asked Awad to explain why it was incorrect to take aim at extremist elements in Islam in aftermath of last week’s Boston bombing, particularly since there are indications that Islam was the inspiration for the suspects’ actions. Awad denied that sentiment was representative of Muslims.

“First of all, thank you for having me on the show again,” Awad said. “I really appreciate it because it’s important to bring American Muslims to speak to the nation through a network like Fox News because there have been so many views being shared about American Muslims and the faith of Islam and it needs someone who is Muslim practicing Islam to share with the public who we are, how we feel and where we stand on the issues.”

Religion of peace, my butt. This guy is as phony as the day is long.

But I suppose it takes a phony like O'Reilly to call him out.

I was prepared to type " blowhard vs blow up ", but ..

While he's still an ego-crazed jerkoff, it did read as tho BOR actually took it right to that rag maggot.

Still won't watch him, but it's somethin' . . .

Look at how muslims treat non-muslims in countries where the muslims have control of the govt.

Tells you all you need to know.

While I do agree that O'Reilly is right in this rare case, he is certainly no lightweight when it comes to spreading his own BS. He is the John McCain of the media -- right occasionally, but generally delivering more damage than help to our side.

Funny you should mention this.

I was having lunch yesterday with a colleague who happens to be from Lebanon and who is also a Christian.

He told me that he worked in Saudi Arabia for 2.5 years some time ago. While there, he said that when there was a call to prayer, he would routinely be spit upon because he did not get up to go pray.

But sometimes he is a little too quick when playing devil's advocate (the "fair" part of F & B), jumping in before the guest has stated the entire case.

If islam is a religion of peace, falsely accused of supporting & encouraging terrorism, then why aren't muslims leading the outrage against the jihadists? Why aren't they actively, routinely exposing the radicals in their midst? Why aren't they leading the War on Terror?

The statements that Awad made and the ones emanating from the “Wad House” sound identical. Coincidence?

Cair/Muslim Brotherhood has an extensive network to just influence media...

Cair Claims Victory in AP dropping word Islamist

There are several location like Cair Chicago

… CAIR-Chicago Monitors local media with the purpose of reinforcing positive and accurate coverage of Muslims and Islam, and challenging simplistic, demonizing, or biased reports.

A team of coordinators, and volunteer activists working under our director of communications are assigned to different venues so that all are accounted for. The following are the Chicagoland media venues we currently observe:...(extensive list of media they pressure/influence at link..creepy)

The first and most lethal mistake Non-Muslims make is in treating Islam AS IF it is the moral, practical and authentic equivalent of other ‘religions’.

It’s mistakenly indulged as if it’s on the same footing as legitimate ideology, or on an intellectual and ideological par with all other humane and civilized societal constructs. There is no such correlation at all.

Until or unless the west abandons it’s credulous and unrealistic tolerance of this shabby disguise for murder, violence and hatred … nothing will change.

You only have to look at THEIR homelands to see what is planned for us, if they succeed.

There isn’t a Christian faith on earth that would be tolerated for ONE instant if its leaders and followers spewed the kind of hate and malice that the Muslims routinely do.

I was watching this segment last night and was never more pleased with BOR, for the record. I thought he slapped the guy down very very well, and I was fired up about it. Just awesome.

Yep, that’s one of the very few things O’Reilly is good for.

Even if he's right that still leaves 2M muzzies as nut jobs (based on a muzzie world population of 2 billion).
