CAIR asks Fox News to drop Islamophobe commentators
American Thinker ^ | January 13, 2015 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 01/13/2015 6:11:31 AM PST by Seattle Conservative

How do you say ‘Chutzpah” in Arabic? For that’s the most appropriate word to describe a Hamas-linked organization designated by the United Arab Emirates as a terror organization telling an American news operation to stop talking about jihad.

Recently, Sean Hannity’s outstanding frankness has been joined by Bill O’Reilly telling the truth on jihad. And throughout the day, FNC has featured knowledgeable commenters, in addition to CAIR apologists, in a “fair and balanced” presentation - -something CAIR does not want.

Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, today included in its “American Muslim News Briefs” mailing an item entitled “CAIR Asks Fox News to Drop Islamophobes.” Most of it was made up of the usual smears, lies and distortions that Hamas-linked CAIR pumps out by the gallon. It also contained this:

“Fox News’ continued use of Islamophobes, such Steven Emerson and many others like him, only serves to harm the network’s reputation and to promote hostility toward Islam and ordinary American Muslims,” said CAIR Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia Director Corey Saylor.

He said Fox News continues to utilize the nation’s most notorious Islamophobes and Islamophobia enablers — like Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Brigitte Gabriel, and Zuhdi Jasser — as regular commentators on issues related to Islam and Muslims.

Given that "phobia" is defined as an irrational fear of something, and in light of the decades long string of hundreds of terrorist attacks around the world (thousands if you count IEDs) committed in the name of islam... I'd say there is no such thing as "islamophobia" - seems like a perfectly rational, even a healthy fear to me.

Dear CAIR,

Request denied.

In fact, we are now dedicating a nightly segment to discussing Muslim atrocity.

Love,

Fox

No such thing as Islamphobia....another pretend PC designation.

It gave us Hasan and the Boston catastrophe.

It's not a religion. It's a political system. Governments in the middle east operate it.

CAIR took longer to open its pie-hole than I thought it would.

CAIR wants FOX news to drop truth-tellers. Muslims are attempting to intimidate Americans. Muslims should go back to their home countries and fix them before trying to change America.

Interesting. The greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of civilization…making demands on speech/conversation? Go figure.

1400 years vs. upstart org and upstart republic.

Jihad advances. Witness daily events.

If Care focused as much time as they do complaining about being called out by Fox News on radical Islam, then the image they are claiming to protect would not be an issue.

CAIR should try taking the terrorists to task instead.
After all, it is their actions that are causing commentary on Islam.
But, we all know why CAIR won’t do that.
They approve of the demonstrations of true Islam...

Excellent points!!

Organizations and race-baiters toss out the “phobia” or race cards whenever it suits their needs. The blacks, Hispanics, gays, Moslems are a small percentage of the US population (for now), but if one doesn’t agree with their agenda or says something contrary to their beliefs or *wants*, then that person or group of people are {fill in the blank}phobes or racists. Unfortunately, it often works as they have some loud voices and also have the Dims and the LSM carrying their water.

Tell them to switch to MSNBC and all will be well.

Glad FOX is getting their goat.

My thoughts exactly. If anything, I expect Fox to double down. I listened to Fox on and off over the week-end from early a.m. They had IMHO some very good, thoughtful and knowledgeable guests on radical Islam and the global war. I missed Hannity’s audience special Friday night, but heard it was pretty good.
