Fox News Allows Attack on Prophet Muhammad (CAIR Action Alert)

Guess what CAIR, this is America not some Muslim run country where people are killed for speaking their opinion. Because we have freedom of speech, it gives the right for Palestinian leaders to go on television and praise bombings of innocents in Israel. It gives the Taliban the right to go on TV and praise the bombings and murder of 3000 Americans. It gives the right for people associated with Al Quada to praise the actions of Bin Laden and call for additional attacks on Americans right on our television airways.

Since this is also America, you have the right to practice your religion without worrying about your government putting a gun to your head and blowing your and your families brains all over a wall.

When and if Muslim countries start having freedom of speech for all and freedom of religion for all those living in their borders, I might consider worrying about a opinion of your God given by a free citizen of America. Until then, remember you have the right to whine, a right won for you by the very people your religion seeks to kill.

And to say that these terrorists distort Islam, they're carrying out Islam." Instead of challenging those hate-filled remarks, Hannity said: "Reverend, how widespread do you think that fanatical interpretation is? Do you think it's mainstream? Or do you think it's the majority of Muslims?"

So what's wrong with asking what proportion of Muslims support an anti-western, pro-terrorist version of Islam? How on earth does that make Sean Hannity a bigot?

No attempt from CAIR to deal with the truth or falsehood of what was said, any criticism of fanatical Islam is just bigotry. As for hate-filled remarks, Mohammed wrote the book on it. Literally.

Free speech in Islamic countries does not permit heresy against Islam.

"What kind of sick twisted 'religion' promises an eternity of fornicating with young virgins as a reward for the mass murder of nonbelieving women and children?"

What a minute...Paradise is a brothel...young virgins have to "service" the murderers..but a young mother is sentenced to death by stoning for adultery. Sentenced for what the virgins in Paradise are doing??? What the hell kind of religion is this??? Holy Mother of Pearl..they are all nuts!

I saw the program. Pat spoke nothing but the truth. What the Muslims want is to silence all voices and beliefs but their own. If they don't like our ways, our country and our religion, they can go to hell wherever it is they came from. Nobody is forcing them to stay in this "horrible" anti-Muslim country.

Can't wait for the repeat tonight.

"Our office receives daily complaints from concerned Muslims and people of other faiths who say that Fox's news and views on Islam, Muslims or the Middle East are neither fair nor balanced. (So don't watch it). Venomous and hate-filled remarks like those made by Robertson (TRUTH), and Sean Hannity's failure to challenge those remarks, poison the minds of ordinary viewers (As opposed to that oh so wholesome venom they spew whenever they can get their face and mouth in front of a camera and microphone) and can incite acts of violence against American Muslims"

They are re-airing it?

I couldn't agree more. It is perplexing, to say the least, why Bush continues to allow immigration from Muslim nations when it is so apparent that Muslims will NEVER peacefully assimilate in the American Culture and way of life. Then again, Bush doesn't seem to care that our borders are overrun by hundreds of thousand of illegal aliens every year either.

"He also called on American religious and political leaders to repudiate defamatory attacks on the faith of Islam."

Translation: Deny the teachings of YOUR faith in deference to our false god.

"Americans have been deluded into spouting the Soccer-Momism about Islam being a "religion of peace." Actually, reading would provide dozens upon dozens of contrary examples from the last year alone.

ANN COULTER"


Is Christianity a "religion of peace"? Reading this thread alone would provide dozens upon dozens of contrary examples.

"Awad cited Fox's inflammatory coverage of last Friday's "terror scare" in Florida, talk show host Bill O'Reilly's comparison of the Quran to Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and the network's tendency to ambush and abuse those Muslims who do appear on its programs"

O'Reilly gives them a legitimacy they shouldn't have by even having them ON the program. Besides, I pity the poor fool that tries to muzzle O'Reilly who expresses both intelligence and ignorance with equal passion.

ROBERTSON: You've heard of mecca. Mecca, there is a black stone. Mohammed's father and grandfather were keeper of 360 sacred rocks at mecca. And they said there was a meteor or something that fell out of the sky. And the most important deity in mecca was the moon god. And he was the same god that was you know, Ur of Kaldez (ph) when Abraham was up there. And his name was Allah. And he had three daughters. And you remember that the Koran that he wrote into the Koran that he thinks that we should worship those three daughters, and then disciples got after him. So he took the (UNINTELLIGIBLE). And Salman Rushdie wrote about the satanic verses. This whole thing was situational. It took about 20 years to write the entire Koran. 80 percent of it comes from the Jewish and Christian scriptures. He mentions Moses 500 times in the Koran. I mean, it is strictly a theft of Jewish theology. And then he turned around and he murdered all the Jews in Medina. I mean, this man was a killer. And to think that this is a peaceful religion is fraudulent. It just is. I wish people would read the Koran itself and see what it says, because they'd be shocked.

Robertson is dead on target. As for fair and balanced that was fair and balanced. We have heard only that Islam is a peaceful religion and how Islam has been highjacked. Robertson just gave the other side. I have read some of the Koran, I have read Satanic Verses and also Islam Unveiled. Islam is not a peaceful religion and it is not just the fanatics that are killing. It is the ones who are reading the Koran and doing exactly what Mohammad said to do.

It is 11:12PDT. They are running the show from Detroit. I am hoping this is the show with Robertson.

"In a recent CAIR survey, 45 percent of Muslim respondents said Fox News was the media outlet that exhibited the most biased coverage of Islam and Muslims."

And I think CNN is the most biased against rational thought, common sense and morality geared at generating hate against conservatives and Christians. His point? Last time I looked it was still legal to change the channel or turn off the TV if you don't like the programming.
