Fox’s Kilmeade says “all terrorists are Muslims”

Posted on 16 October 2010 by Rousseau

Kilmeade thinks all Muslims are terrorists

Really? On Fox News? So surprising! In all seriousness though, this is the type of “analysis” of Islam and terrorism that goes on at Fox. There are some really deep thinkers working at Fox. It sends chills down my spine knowing that Fox News is the most watched cable news network.

Brian Kilmeade: “All terrorists are Muslim” (Huffington Post)

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade claimed Monday morning that “all terrorists are Muslims.”

In a follow-up discussion to Bill O’Reilly’s appearance on “The View” Thursday — in which Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set after O’Reilly claimed “the Muslims killed us on 9/11″ — the “Fox & Friends” co-host both dismissed the “View” debate as elementary and made the shocking claim.

“That debate is almost like our debate on training wheels,” Kilmeade said of the “View” discussion. “That was our debate seven weeks ago, and they can’t handle the give-and-take of a debate. They were outraged that somebody was saying…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.”

Fox News SVP of Programming Bill Shine says Kilmeade will address the comments on Monday.

“Brian was talking about the events on ‘The View’ yesterday and was referring to the radical extremists who killed Americans on 9/11,” Shine told the Huffington Post. “Obviously, not all terrorists are Muslim and Brian will clarify this point on television and radio on Monday.”

Notice that in the news, you never hear about any reigion but islam commiting terroristic acts. In Palestine/ Israel, there are probably a number of Jews attacking the palestinians in ways that would be considered “terrorist”. And in Central Africa, Joseph Kony and the LORD’S resistance army are kidnapping thousands of children, forcing them to fight, in addition to slaughtering entire villages. There you go. Christians and Jews, both acting like terrorists.

“Oh! By the way, the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) is responsible for most of the war crimes in central Africa and they are a designated terrorist organization by the US.”

This is not true. Go take a look at the list and the LRA is not there. The List is an object of political relevance. We are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan so every street gang is a terrorist group whereas the same is not done in the Congo, India, Mexico, Colombia, etc.

Well, according to my knowledge, the LRA is most active in Uganda and between 2004 and 2009, there were only slightly over 500 reported deaths in Uganda from terrorist attacks.

This is stupidly false. Where did you get the numbers? If you knew anything about the LRA you would know that they could come close to 500 in a month and that’s just violent deaths. The LRA are known to cause more deaths through displacement, malnutrition and famine than anything.
I’m just going to run with violent massacres now

321 deaths December 09 Massacre

500 reported deaths from December 09 to March 10
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8656634.stm

400 Congolese Villagers in December 08
http://allafrica.com/stories/200812310101.html

That’s way over 500 in two separate events if you play the 09 and 08 massacre and the BBC says it hit 500 over the first three months of this year. This report is probably underestimating too as we hear the crisis of mass rape now being reported.

…And lets not forget that the Avowedly Born Again Christian Dictator in Uganda trying to kill the LRA is not so nice either. Clearly thats a result of his secret Born Again efforts to take over the world with Born Again Terror because the terror filled Bible told him so (sarcasm).

“What if they were Muslim?” thats your answer.. a quote from Warren Bufft: “It takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.”

JD – the Communist Party of India is an active political party in India. Maybe you are referring to the Maoist insurgency.

Well Jack! Looks like JihadBob will not take up my offer of fighting terrorism together. He is busy playing the keyboard warrior on some other post in LW.

Maybe he will come around when Halal Pork learns to fly

As usual, I totally agree with you Jack. In fact after 9/11, I was so scared that we American Muslims would be attacked again and no one would care because we would be considered “traitors” since we live here in the US. I thought this tragedy could perhaps get us closer together against terrorism of all faiths instead of dividing our country no thanks to these bigots who think that ever we moderates could turn extremist over night. We’re now sandwiched between opposite extremists. It’s a lose/lose for us now.

Syed, I’ve said the exact same thing to people like Bob for a long time, care to guess what the response is? But I totally agree and in fact, these ‘terrorists’ are far bigger enemies to us Muslims than they are to anyone else.
