On The Five: More Fox Fear And Loathing Of Muslims

Fox News actively pushes an alternate reality in which American Christians are the victims of ongoing persecution. During a recent persecuted Christian whinefest, on the Hannity show, professional Christian and former Jack Abramoff pal, Ralph Reed, said that attacks on Christians are "the last acceptable form of bigotry in our culture." That this statement is both laughable and a lie is underscored by Fox News' ongoing attacks on the LGBT community, atheists, and Muslims - a religious group that Fox bashes "with impunity" such as when, on last week's The Five, good Christian Andrea Tantaros said that Islam is the "most intolerant" religion evah. Last night, the tolerant Five advanced the outrage of the Islamophobic cottage industry over the Virginia Assembly's recent passage of a resolution honoring a Virginia mosque which, according to the Breitbart article linked on The Five's website, is a "terror mosque." Oh, noooo....

Devout Catholic Eric Bolling, who, when hosting on Fox & Friends, had no problem with his guest's characterization of Islam as a "radical, savage religion," reported on the resolution honoring the Falls Church mosque. He noted that this mosque was the "preferred place of worship for many terrorists over the years" including Anwar Al-Awelaki and Major Nidal Hassan. He asked if the assembly's commemoration was for the "outstanding ability to murder Americans."

Kimberly Guilfoyle provided validation with her comment that "many" of the 9-11 hijackers worshipped here so "this is the last mosque" that "should be getting this type of award or commendation." She whined that this is "sloppy and a slap in the face" to 9-11 victims." FACT CHECK - Only two of the hijackers worshiped here - not "many." Guilfoyle, a resident (as far as I know) of NY, brayed that "we" are paying the salaries of the Virginia assembly.

Bolling referenced the NY City "victory mosque," as an example of Muslim tone deafness. ("Victory mosque" is a term used by Islamophobes to describe the NY City Islamic Cultural Center - the so called "Ground Zero Mosque" which was the source of an abundance of Islamophobic Fox propaganda.) Gutfeld did his patented pseudo-intellectual snark with his commentary about "we" are giving American haters "a trophy" for their hatred. (Oh, the irony!) He pontificated that this is "political correctness" that will - ready for it - be "the undoing of our culture" and made a profound metaphor about an olive branch.

After Dana Perino said that not everybody who attends the mosque is a terrorist, Bob Beckel whined about how Christians are being slaughtered in Muslim countries and the "punk" leaders of these countries don't say anything about it. Gutfeld accused the VA assembly of "sloppy government." There was some joking banter about whether the mosque was really cooperating with attempts, by authorities, to identify terrorists.

So bashing Christians is the "last acceptable form of bigotry in our culture?" Guess Ralph Reed doesn't watch "The Five" whose hosts provide a perfect example of how Fox News is, as described the Center for American Progress's report, "Fear Incorporated," the "echo chamber" for what's hot, hot, hot in the wild world of hating on Islam.

And BTW, if the nice Five Christians weren't merely interested in spreading hate, they could have actually read the resolution which details why the mosque is being honored. Those who crafted the document included the statement that the mosque "promotes cooperation, tolerance, and mutual understanding among faiths" - certainly not something that Fox News can take credit for!!!!!

Jim,

Yes, after suffering a barrage of insults from you, allowing you a second chance to join the blog and permitting you to stay while you remained civil, I had the unmitigated gall to call you out and ban you permanently once you started up with the insults again. You poor, persecuted troll!

Ellen,

I’m not able to stoop down to your level. Please delete my account. It’s obvious that there is no such thing as fair and balanced on this site. How amusing. Typical intolerant libs.

Jim Shearon,

You have a hell of a nerve coming back here and then complaining that we’re not tolerant enough. You were banned once for making flaming, insulting comments. Then you sent a flaming, insulting email in which you called us “sick” and “illiterate.” And now you’re back, under some different kind of login so that you could deliberately get around the ban and you have the audacity to lecture us?

Despite the fact that there are signs that you are an old troll sock puppet (say hi to Fox News for us!), I was willing to let you stay because you were making your disagreements civilly.

But if you hate us so much, why don’t you just leave? Eh? In any event, if you post one more flaming or disrespectful post, you will be banned and banned each and every time you decide to come back.

And don’t you dare start whining that it’s because you have a different opinion.

LIberals, I have a challenge for you. Go to a mosque and demand that they perform a nikkah between members of the same sex. See what happens! Since you’re soooooooo obsessed with pelvic rights, why not force all institutions to recognize it?

“It’s not the Christians that are the problem, it’s elements of the faith based cult of ignorance dressed in Jesus drag seemingly too fucking stupid to think beyond the mindless void found in front of a television tuned to Fox News.”

Keep going Rob Wilhelm. You expose your liberal love, tolerance, and equality for all with your posts.

Rob Wilhelm, I’m an ex-Muslim. BRING IT ON! What characteristics have I “ignorantly” attributed to Muslims?

“Can we only hope ignorant fucks like you are eventually delivered exactly what it is you deserve, right between the eyes?”

I see Islam has rubbed off on you. Why is it that Muslims and their sympathizers always want to respond with violence?

Jahan Khan- if wrote down everything you know about Islam, same would fit on bumper sticker!
My Muslim wife of 17 years would be real surprised to learn she is in possession of the characteristics you ignorantly attributed to Muslims.

@jahan. Notice how you don’t see any talk on here about Fox’s coverage of ACA (ObamaCare). That’s because it is terrible legislation railroaded through congress in the middle of the night without one republican vote. Now it’s a train wreck and only beginning to hurt people and the economy. Fox called it that way from day 1 but they won’t talk about it here because Fox was right. People here are hardly tolerant. Typical of the libereal left. Like party-goers who wish they weren’t invited, as ObamaCare hits its fourth birthday this Sunday a new poll shows Americans don’t much like the birthday boy. And who can blame them? Born of highly-partisan passage in 2010 by a then Democratic-controlled Congress without a single favorable Republican vote, the president’s signature health law has unleashed a cascade of confusion via a disastrous rollout, millions of policy cancellations and sticker shock. Results of the latest Pew Research survey show 53 percent of respondents disapprove of the entitlement program, while 41 percent approve. Opposition to the health law is just one point shy of the poll’s all-time high. This can’t be a welcome gift as team Obama continues its feverish enrollment push to reach a scaled-down goal of six million ObamaCare sign ups by March 31.

@jahan Khan. Bravo Jahan. My thoughts exactly. Now watch as they delete your account because you posted something that’s opposed to there way of thinking. And they call it tolerance.

You guys are all dhimmis in the making, without a doubt! It’s incredible how naive you guys are. Your HATRED of Christians is the true irony in all of this! For a group so obsessed with equality and combating hate, why is it that Christians are the exception? Do you think all Christians are like members of the Westboro Baptist Church? Do you, DHIMMI Priscilla, HATE Christians? Christians really are getting persecuted, oppressed, and murdered in Muslim majority countries. You take it lightly, but for Christians it is an issue. Is it wrong for one network to mention these things that other networks ignore because it may “offend” Muslims? Tell me one thing Muslims aren’t offended by. Take a look at C.A.I.R’s facebook and you’ll see the frivolous things they b!tch about and the lengths that the organization goes to stop people from “insulting” Islam. In other words, trying to enact blasphemy laws using our laws.

It’s amazing how the bane of the left revolves around LGBT issues. You don’t even want to know what happens to the LGBT groups in any Muslim majority country or what Islam’s position is on it. Do you really think Muslims have a better position on this than the Christians? Your are kidding yourselves to think that they do. They see you as useful idiots for their fight, and many lib tards like yourself are dragged along fighting their grievances under the banner of “human rights,” when in reality to the Muslim, it’s all about Muslim rights. Islam doesn’t even consider non-believers humans unless they are dhimmis, as in the property of Muslims, but they will milk you for all your worth if you can be used. Then they’ll dump you after they’re done with you.
