Andrea Tantaros Refuses To Apologize For Promoting Violence Against Muslims

Whenever someone in the media says something that is offensive to the right wing, Fox News goes on the attack. After MSNBC's Martin Bashir asked how Sarah Palin, who compared government "free stuff" (read welfare) to slavery, would feel if she were subjected to the real indignities of American slavery, Fox talkers went into full outrage mode with calls for Bashir (who resigned) be fired. Whenever there is a perceived affront to America's Christians, Fox talkers are indignant. But in a clear example of the Fox double standard, Andrea Tantaros is given carte blanche to engage in anti-Islamic hate speech at every turn. Her recent call to put a "bullet to the head" of radical jihadists prompted two organizations to call for an apology which she refuses to give because - ready for it - she is "speaking the truth."

Russell Brand describes those on Fox's "The Five" as being cogs in a machine that "spews venom." Last week, in proving her bona fides as a venom spewing cog, Tantaros, on another venom spewing Fox show, "Outnumbered," offered us this bit of venom:

"They’ve been doing this for hundreds and hundreds of years. If you study the history of Islam, our ship captains were getting murdered. The French had to tip us off. I mean these were the days of Thomas Jefferson. They’ve been doing the same thing. This isn’t a surprise. You can’t solve it with a dialogue. You can’t solve it with a summit. You solve it with a bullet to the head. It’s the only thing these people understand. And all we’ve heard from this president is a case to heap praise on this religion, as if to appease them."

Tantaros' preference for killing Muslims, in lieu of diplomacy, did not go unheard. Her call to crusade was duly noted by the Muslim Public Affairs Council and Asian American Journalistic Association both of which are demanding that Tantaros apologize for her statements which the AAJA considers "irresponsible and inflammatory." The MPA condemned Tantaros' rhetoric as encouraging "hate and violence" towards Muslims and is calling for her to be fired.

Meanwhile, Tantaros is giving these groups the metaphorical middle finger in refusing to apologize. She tweets, "I will not apologize for speaking the truth about radical Islamic jihadism. Period." Naturally, her fellow Islamophobes are giving her a metaphorical high-five.

Welcome to the Orwellian world of an Islamophobic Fox News who works for a "fair & balanced" "news" network where you can't say anything bad about Jesus - but you can bash Islam with imunity!"

There seems to be a critical reading comprehension problem occurring with respect to Ms. Tantaros’ statement. She did not attack Islam, she attacked, and I quote her literal statement, “radical [Islamic] jihadists.” The net effect of attacking Ms. Tantaros looks like a defense of those same “radical [Islamic] jihadists”! Liberals, you do realize that Islam opposes pretty much everything that you stand for, don’t you? And you would be at the head of the list of people that Islam mistreats, and in the case of “radical [Islamic] jihadists” would feel most justified in killing, right?

kudos for you Andrea Tantaros. Politically correct should see what being a fundamentalist muslim means. That means any muslim can become one.

more incredulous nonsense from antoinette, i’m afraid, as she (he?) attempts to deflect criticism of this silly article. fox news is to blame? the saudis? if these “22 beheadings” were so newsworthy/shameful, WHY are none of the usual suspects commenting on it? is the White House also owned by the Saudis? you need to work on your logic or all your conspiracy rants will be laughed at for the lameness that they are imho

The Fox “News” suits and mouthpieces are livid about this post, and they unleashed their “loyal” viewers to come to this site and attack us.

The patriots should know that Prince al-Waleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, is the second largest shareholder of News Corporation. Rupert Murdoch is buddies with him. Odd, the prince has said nothing about the beheadings of the two American journalists. Where are his loyalties, patriots? He is from the Middle East, you know.

To really combat terror, end support for Saudi Arabia

According to The Guardian, patriots, Saudi Arabia has beheaded 22 people since August 4. That’s correct, patriots, 22 people. Strange, we didn’t see a report about that on Fox “News.” Now why is that, patriots? Are they afraid to offend a shareholder?

Take an educated guess, patriots of where Salafi movement get their funding.

When you are done reading this article, patriots, kindly forward it to all conservative websites.

Why should anyone apologize to Jihadists? When do they act like human beings? This is just another example of Progressive Liberal bull. No Andrea should not say she is sorry for telling the truth.

dear antoinette, since you refuse to condemn jihadists just because they are muslims, you appear to follow the teachings of your religion, where lying and denigrating “non-believers” is promoted. when You start behaving like a human being instead of a radical hater, maybe Then you can complain about those of us who take offense to those who brutally kill in the name of your religious leader

She referred to “RADICAL ISLAMIC JIHADISTS!!!” You know, the people who VOW to KILL ALL OF US in the name of their god,, they see it as a religious duty and kill and ravage whenever they can,,, “JIHAD” means “TO WAR WITH UNBELIEVERS” ,, they declare – to war with us and kill us whenever or wherever they can,, and they are ravaging “non islamic believers” now in Iraq,,she’s right, radical jihadists NEED KILLED before they kill,, its all they know and the only deterrent to their wrath.. Why would you NOT put a bullet in the head of someone who would love to video record cutting off yours??? You’re all idiots! FCK the appeasers, maybe they need a bullet with their name on it too,,they are aiding and abetting JIHADISTS! Our IRS should be investigating THEM ( You) instead of average Americans who use the word “Patriot” in their group’s name and our FBI should be investigating them ( you) instead of cops who kill thugs! The good news is, CHANGE IS coming, starting in November,,, America is awakened to the bleeding hearts and know that you’re more dangerous than we thought you would be when we let you “borrow the microphone”,, we’re taking it back!

Donna, then I suppose you need to be offended by FoxNoise. It’s partially owned by the Prince of a country which—to this very day—beheads people for capital offenses. Oh, and did you know that ISIS has a very strong connection to the same strain of Islam that created Saudi Arabia in the first place? Of course, FoxNoise would never inform its viewers of the network’s ties to supporters of terror.

Offended by Hateful anti Muslim speech?

I’m offended by chopping somebody’s head off!
I am sorry that your priorities are so effing off the charts!

We expect the Tortoise not to apologize. However, the Fox “News” suits can force her to apologize. She won’t like it, but she has no choice.

“We are contacting you regarding the hateful, and dangerous anti-Muslim rhetoric spewed recently by Fox News co-host, Andrea Tantaros. Her comments of hate and violence toward Muslims is unacceptable and must be dealt with immediately. She recently Tweeted, “I will not apologize for speaking the truth about radical Islamic jihadism. Period.”

21st Century Fox is the parent company of Fox News Channel. Contact the executives, Rupert Murdoch
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
21st Century Fox; Chase Carey

If all Muslims worldwide stayed away from the box office, and 21st Century Fox tv series, they would get the message."

[Tantaros] tweets, “I will not apologize for speaking the truth about radical Islamic jihadism. Period.”

Well, perhaps, Ms Torture-us, you might consider speaking a little “truth” about NON-radical Islam.

In the meantime, here’s a little “truth” you might try “speaking” on FoxNoise: Saudi Arabia has been sending arms to ISIS. And a certain part-owner of FoxNoise is from Saudi Arabia. Could it be that FoxNoise is indirectly financing the activities of ISIS, Andumbya? Don’t the American people have a right to know how Prince al-Waleed bin Talal is spending his money?

Or might that “truth” be just a little too dangerous for you to speak out on, Andumbya?
