As is the case most weekends, Melissa Harris-Perry's MSNBC show had more than one ridiculous moment on air in the last two days. There was of course, the "Star Wars is racist" moment. But in another moment from Saturday's show, a guest accused American citizens of being terrorists here at home - an assertion Harris-Perry left unchallenged.
As Breitbart.com reported, Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour told Harris-Perry that Americans are "engaging in terrorism" against the Muslim community here in the USA:
Trying to keep it together here a little bit but, just listening to the listing of these attacks on individuals and on mosques and understanding the trauma that we’re causing communities and, we talk about terror and terrorism, of what we’re doing, is we’re engaging in terrorism against the innocent community that has nothing to do with this.
Sarsour was referring to alleged incidents and possible attacks against individual Muslims in the United States. She adds that the fear is so great now, in the wake of recent attacks and subsequent rhetoric, that "15 years after 9/11, it’s the first time ever I have ever feared for my life, walking in the streets of my city."
She also scoffs at the notion of Muslim integration into American society. "We can't change who we are," she says. "This is how we look. We can't integrate and assimilate." If a conservative Christian said Muslims aren't integrating or refuse to integrate into American society, they'd be called a racist by everyone on this panel.
Not surprisingly, the MSNBC host sagely agreed and expanded on that, asking the obviously rhetorical question, "Who should really be afraid?"
And the idea that the fear in Muslim communities, in Sikh communities, in misperceived Muslim communities, should be on the table at a time when we keep talking about 'oh this is a time of fear so you have to just kind of forgive Americans for behaving badly,' rather than saying 'no no no, who is actually in a tangible way and ought to be afraid?'
Her implication could not be more clear. It is we who are the terrorists. It is they who have a "tangible" reason to be afraid of our terrorism. She is suggesting that the Muslim community "ought to afraid" of Americans "engaging in terrorism." And definitely not the other way around.
Got that, San Bernardino families? You're the monsters.
Cpmming soon: Melissa Harris-Perry’s high fashion bomb-belts ... make a statement the kafirs won’t soon forget!
Melissa Harris Perry is on MSNBC. MSNBC has few viewers. So, she says outrageous things. See says things like she does in the hope that it gets out there and more viewers tune in as a result if only out of morbid curiosity. Then, she hopes, it will boost her ratings
So now we know that she is indeed a Muslim - like her President.
Isn’t she the same clown that thought country music had something to do with being warlike (ones like Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, and Keith Whitley must have laughed at that one up in Hillbilly Heaven).
It’s way past time to stop all this divisive fear mongering. It is exhaustive to the psyche and that may be the plan in the end. Exhaustive fear leads to the fight response. We need someone start pulling the country back together in spite of Obama and the rest
The only one who seems to be able to is Trump. But he needs to be tempered by the Constitution.

Good!
Good!
These people are in your face traitors.
There’s no point in hiring television pedsonalities who are able to employ logic to make sense - it’s the controversy that gets the curious to tune in and sells advertising.
It's true. A scorpion will be a scorpion, no matter what the scorpion says. You don't let scorpions in your house.
The question not being asked by any of the MSM is, if muslimes are not coming to America to assimilate, then why are they coming here? The answer of course is jihadic invasion.
Poor Melissa Harris-Perry. Too white to join the local NBPP and too black to join the local KKK klavern and too angry not to have an identity support hate-group.
“sa Harris Perry is on MSNBC. MSNBC has few viewers. So, she says outrageous things. See says things like she does in the hope that it gets out there and more viewers tune in as a result if only out of morbid curiosity. Then, she hopes, it will boost her ratings”
Agree. Ignore her - and MSNBC.....
She should have been afraid on 9/11, right after she was done celebrating the fallen towers.
I guess there is an audience for the rantings of a racist zipper head or she wouldn’t be on the air.
But for the life of me, she just comes off as a booger eating moron.
I think she means COUNTER terrorism.
Question for Muslims....How many Christians do you see trying to kill Muslims?
I wonder who she hates more, her White mother or her Black father for being a race traitor?
One could say MHP is the product of White Privilege!
Let them instead fear Americans defending themselves and their neighbors.
