Apparently to prove that the US is filled with Muslim hating Yahoos, ABC went on the hunt to find "Islamophobia" in America and the result is "Witness to Discrimination: What Would You Do?" Since they didn't really know where to find any, ABC News decided to create their own prejudice against Muslims by hiring an actress to put on Muslim dress and get "confronted" by a Muslim hating coffee store server -- also an actor hired by ABC. Then, they rolled the cameras, opened the doors to the public and, viola, ABC "found" prejudice in America.

Did they repeat this experiment for a Jewish man wearing his kippah and a Roman Catholic priest?
There is no such thing as Islamophia.
A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something.
Those who are cautious about Muslims are just smart.
Those who know the truth about Islam are rightfully and rationally opposed to it.
Reality is now entertainment. Unreality is now news.
As Elaine said in a Seinfeld episode...”Fake... fake... fake!”
Why don’t they send some Jooooooooooooooooos to a mosque and then film what happens.
I am surprised ABC didn’t rig the actress up with a gas canm and model rocket engines.
“Update (Ken Shepherd | 15:35): Charles Johnson at LGF has more. Apparently it was a CAIR-inspired gimmick:”
Figures.
Americans and westerners SHOULD be prejudiced against a cult of psychopathic killers.
“Did they repeat this experiment for a Jewish man wearing his kippah and a Roman Catholic priest?”
No need to involve a priest. Just go on the subway with the kippa and ride around for a while. I could tell you some stories.
I just read this story on an Islamic web cite. Nothing like aiding the enimy. The Islamic world is always looking for more reasons to hate America. Thanks ABC
So then, how about someone with a hidden camera, and an actress in a burka, go to ABC HQ, and try to gain entry to the building and let’s see their reaction?
I know, I know, for security reasons.......she ain’t gettin in, which means, they have security needs.........we don’t.
Funny how flying planes into buildings and chopping people's heads off may influence a person's opinions, isn't it? However, creating fake Islamophobia diminishes the real reasons that people are wary of Muslims.
Since they hired actors to play the Muslim and the Muslim-hater, who’s to say the other folks weren’t all actors as well?
Why is it ABC News advocates Islam to show “Islamophobia”, but it takes Borat to demonstrate how you can whip up any crowd to shout “Throw the Jew Down the Well”?
