Detroit TV Anchor Angers Local Muslim Community with ISIS Comments

A Detroit-based local news anchor found herself in hot water this week after making a comment connecting Michigan’s large Muslim community to potential ISIS threats.

During a Wednesday broadcast on NBC-affiliated WDIV-TV Local 4, anchor Carmen Harlan discussed a possible ISIS-connected threat in the state. “Given the fact that we have the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East, I guess this should not come as a real surprise,” she said.

Seeing as the state has a substantial Muslim population, several organizations spoke out against Harlan, calling upon her and the network to officially apologize, the Lebanese Examiner reported.

I am angered over 9/11 and I won’t let followers of Mo-HAM-Mad never ever to forget it .... and I won’t get into how many innocent men, women and children they slaughtered that the MSM fails to report in detail. They don’t want to be targeted. It’s better to go after Christians and Jews, it’s a lot safer.

I really do not believe that Muslims are civilized enough yet to live in America.


They have no intention of being civilized as you mean it. Islam means submission and every muslim is obligated by their faith to seek our submission to Islam.

Pathetic, but entirely predictable. I’m sure she has a lovely house and a nice SUV. Losing them would be a tragedy.

Have any of these sensitive Muslims in Michigan made statements of outrage concerning the beheading of Christians? I doubt it. They are probably afraid of the violent element their midst. I rest my case.

The real pathetic, bogus and sad aspect of this is that she didn’t get backed up by her station. I’m sure they told her to recant and, as you say, it was recant or lose her job.

i guess i will tell my story to those that refuse to listen..

on 9-11, i was working for a company that was less than 1 mile from the dearborn/ muslim population..

the muslims contraty to popular belief, did not dance in the streets..

they went home and locked their doors..

why????

because here in america they enjoy a freedom not only to do what they want but to start businesses and succeed because they are no longer threatened by those that wish to control them...

hint, most muslims LIKE it here, and it is our job to figure out who wants to be here and who wants to kill us...

tough job, but to throw the baby out with the bath water is even worse...

“every muslim is obligated by their faith to seek our submission to Islam.”

Some join the Army of Islam as soldiers and are called Jihadis, others pay taxes to raise and support the Army of Islam and are called Moderates ...

I fail to understand why AAs don’t recognize the existantial threat real Islam represents to them.

If they can’t take comments then it’s best to wakeup and leave the CULT

But wait... I thought it was ONLY the RADICAL MUSLIMS who reacted this way?

Oh well. Hitler had to MURDER UNNECESSARILY 5 million Jews before ANYONE took him seriously and got off their ass.
