Yesterday on The View, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed off the set after Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly slammed the Park 51 proposal because “Muslims killed us on 9/11!” The Fox News network quickly came to his defense, with Fox contributor Andrea Tantaros assuring Fox News host Megyn Kelly that “O’Reilly came on the show armed with facts. He came from a position of strength, he had numbers to back it up.” This morning, Fox and Friends Brian Kilmeade criticized Goldberg and Behar for not being able to handle “a debate on training wheels.” As if to offer a serious defense of O’Reilly’s “facts,” Kilmeade stated that “not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims”: KILMEADE: That debate is almost like our debate on training wheels. That was our debate seven weeks ago. And they can’t handle the give and take of the debate. They were outraged that someone was saying that there was a reason there was a certain group of people that attacked us on 9/11. It wasn’t just one person, it was one religion. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. Source: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/10/15/kilmeade-muslim-terrorists/ I completely disagree with the way Brian Kilmeade and Bill O'reily said Muslims attacked us. True, some muslims did, but we have terrorists and have had terrorists not just in the USA but world wide that were not Muslims. So to say Muslims are terrorists is blatantly misleading or just flat out wrong. Now if he said Muslim terrorists attacked us on 9-11 then I agree with that, but it doesn't mean all Muslims are terrorists. That is too simplified and wrong. Adolph Hitler was a Roman Catholic. So by the logic of Bill O and Brian Kilmeade, are all Roman Catholics communists? Then if that is true, we shouldn't allow them to practice their religion anywhere near the WW2 monument? Come on...
The American terrorists are the ones who promote this train of hate think...you dont have to be right, just the loudest
FWIW, I think Daniel Andreas San Diego (the ALB nut) is the only guy on the most wanted terrorists list who isn't muslim.
oh whoops...for some reason I put "top 10" in my mind when I read your post.....damn...I guess all terrorists are muslim
Not all Muslims are terrorists (nowhere near all or even "most"). Not all terrorists are Muslim, either. The ones that attacked us on 9/11 were, which is a fair point, but shouldn't be used as the reason for some broad brush statements about Islam and Muslims as a whole.
