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.”

What a fool. I wonder how he’s going to backpedal on this one.
October 16th, 2010 at 3:07 am
After realizing that the whole world thinks he’s an idiot for saying that, he will then “clarify” for us what he meant. I wonder why he wasn’t “clear” from the get-go…I mean, what’s he getting paid for?
October 16th, 2010 at 4:05 am
Frankly, the whole nation of the USA is based on the terrorising of the natives and usurpation of their land thanks to manifest destiny ideology..an ideology that very much rests on religion.
To this day it occupies many countries through overt and covert coercion and force. If there is any group of people in the world that can be aptly have the word terrorism stamped on their foreheads it is those residing in the USA.
October 16th, 2010 at 4:27 am
Gee thanks Arsha
What about Great Britain?
October 16th, 2010 at 4:31 am
Mindy, Great Britain doesn’t have military bases stationed around the world after making deals with dubious dictators against the will of the citizens of those states. Only the USA is doing that.
October 16th, 2010 at 6:36 am
Wow, an entire weekend to come up with a clarification? Why do I sense that a big part of this has to do with their greed for viewers on Monday? Fox, you’re a douche.
@Mindy, I don’t agree with the demonisation of an entire people for stupid actions of their leaders either. There are wonderful Americans and then there are idiots like Kilmaede, but as far as governments go, in the eyes of the world, Britain does appear to be the lesser evil. At least those of us born under British control automatically get British citizenship. Can’t say the same for Okinawans and Iraqis. I, for one, am glad that my history is that of past foreign presence and current Commonwealth sovereignty (instead of past interference and current foreign presence).
October 16th, 2010 at 8:21 am
His job will only be at stake if he said anything like Sanchez. But rants against Muslims is encouraged in the media.

Another bald faced lie on an article where Kilmeade is quoted as clearly saying that isn’t what he thinks.

I say quite the opposite.

October 16th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Maybe it’s not good PR, but it is a correct statement to say most terrorist acts are carried out by Islamists, and, therefore, by definition, at least just as many but obviously many more terrorist acts are carried out by Muslims.
October 16th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
but JB, he said that “ALL Muslims are terrorists”. I want to hear you say that he’s wrong!
October 16th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
correction: “ALL terrorists are Muslims”.
October 16th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
but JB, he said that “ALL Muslims are terrorists”. I want to hear you say that he’s wrong!
He didn’t say that according to the transcript:
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
So, if he re-phrased himself and said that most terrorists are Muslim or, better yet, of the terrorists who cite the texts and teachings of their religion to carry out armed violence, the vast majority are Muslim.
But yes, the vast, vast majority of terror attacks are carried out by Muslims. The second largest group are communists, leftists and then nationalists types.
If you make your statement based on terrorists citing religion, then an even higher percentage are Muslim.
October 16th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
George Erdel cited the texts and teachings of Christian literature when he advocated for a genocide against Palestinians.
October 16th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
Bob, you overlooked my correction: “All Terrorists are Muslims” was what he said and he’s dead wrong but you won’t admit it. In fact not even majority were Muslims. Tamil Tigers have done the most crimes, along with many past and recent non-Muslim dictators, also check out Danios’ info. re. Terrorism which proves that majority of terrorism wasn’t done by Muslims. I’m pretty sure you saw that already.
October 16th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Peace…
The link you offered Bob is interesting but the problem is that its definition of terrorism is pretty limited.
-For example, it says there have been 2 deaths due to terrorism in Mexico in 2009. If you have been following the cartel wars, you would know that is not the case.
-In India, it says 707 deaths for 2009, but if you have been following the Maoist rebellion you would know that there must be much more than that.
-Also, in the Congo it says there were 197 deaths in 2009 but if you know the Congo, the Lord Resistance Army could hit that in a month. According to the BBC, they actually hit 321 violent deaths in December alone in the DRC.
The reason the death tolls are lower than normal is because none of the groups I cited above are on the official terrorist list that the link you provided relied on and I honestly don’t know why. If we consider that these attacks are in fact much more substantial than recorded, by the link, in the Congo, Sudan, India, Ethiopian Ogaden, Mexico, Colombian FARC controlled regions, etc, the conclusion that most terrorists are Muslims is questionable. I can think of many more active terrorist organization not on that link if you want me to have a go.
October 16th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
Also, I believe the link forgets forms of terror such as state terror and non organized terror. In the fear of the word terrorism, people have come to forgot how much more capable states are at killing than informal organizations through economic and military means. For examples, take a look at…
-Congo War (which was exacerbated and carried out predominately by two Christian dictators, Mouseveni and Kagame, and their terrorist proxies)
-US Sanctions and War in Iraq including effect of Depleted Uranium
-Gaza Blockade, siege, and the effect of check points in the West Bank on Palestinian Quality of Life
-Darfur Genocide
-Ogaden Famine and Quality of life (OMG…another US supported Christian dictator, Zenawi)
Informal forms of terror not noted include…
Gendercide in Asia
Honor Killings in Pakistan, India, and Jordan
Caste Repression in India (I have an Asian bias because that’s what I study)
Disclaimer: When I point out that someone is a Christian dictator or mention India twice, I am not trying to indict anyone for being Christian or Indian as the cause for the terror I point out. I’m not an idiot.
October 16th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
@JihadBob (aka Robert Spencer)
You ignore any and all evidence that contradicts your fascist Muslim-hating ideology. Everything you write is steeped in pretentious arrogance.
October 16th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
The various terrorist paramilitaries on both sides of the conflict in Northern Ireland certainly weren’t Muslims, either.
October 16th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
When they use that sentence “not all muslims yaadi yaadi yada bullshit” all I do is reply to them “Not all whites are terrorist but almost all state terrorism perpetrators are white” just to shut them up. Look at colonialism, ww1, ww2 and then you have carpet bombing, cluster bombing, napalm, drone bombing, depleted uranium, abu gharib, guantanamo etc etc basically killing millions after millions from Vietnam to Laos to Cambodia to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and not to mention overthrowing democracies(iran in 1953) and propping up terrorist groups like taliban(mujehddin):-

Well, after doing my own research of terrorism fatalities (and attacks) over a five year period (2004-2009), I concluded that most terrorist attacks can be attributed to Muslims – even if one excludes Iraq and Afghanistan from that figure.
I invite you to do the research for yourself:

October 17th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
@JihadBob. I assume the numbers provided in that analysis does not include the second destruction of Lebanon and the 2009 festive slaughter of oppressed Muslims. Tell us, o’ wise Bob, how an analysis which says Jewish terrorism killed only 4 in 2009 is to be considered accurate and ~*maybe*~ we’ll take you seriously.
October 17th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
i guess jihad bob doesn’t realise that the wars on afghanistan and iraq are illegal
afghanistan: no investigation of 9/11 until people are being murdered there.
and then it turns out most of it was lies.
and iraq: wmd – lies
maybe he should research the word terrorism and understand that the people living under illegal occupation and resisting cannot be classified as terrorists. and to think that afghans in sandals are terrorizing u.s soldiers in bulletproof vests and backed by helicopters and armoured tanks would be laughable if not for the deaths of so many people.
October 17th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
And most terrorism acts are done in warzones and dont count as ” muslim terrorism” because there is nothing islamic about them for example because there is no muslim army…..
Iraq
Afgan
There are terrorist attacks in response to US military being in Iraq and they the insurgents trying to kick them out.
Just because the insurgents religion happens to be muslim does not make it islamic just like IRA terrorism acts are not Christian terrorism because the IRA is christian
October 17th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
The website does not include the actions of the USA and Israel which do amount to state sponsored terrorism. Especially, the USA — the drone attacks in which women and children are killed for the sake of one or two suspected militant are terrorism.
October 17th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
Thanks JD for the link. I’ve done enough repeating on youtube so this site will keep me from repeating over and over again. Bob, you should check out JD’s link above. Seriously, you Islamophobes need to come up with something more original. This is getting tiresome. *sigh*
October 17th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
Well, after doing my own research of terrorism fatalities (and attacks) over a fiver year period (2004-2009), I concluded that most of the causalties of terrorist attacks were civilian Muslims.
October 17th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
JihadBob (aka Robert Spencer) wants us to accept his “own research” even though he’s proven many times, like I said earlier, he will ignore any and all evidence that does not justify his no-holds-barred hatred on Muslims.
What a pretentious jerk.
October 18th, 2010 at 9:47 am

Even if Iraq, Afghanistan and even India were excluded, Muslim/Islamic terrorist attacks are higher than all others, combined.
Oh, and is the Congo a war zone?
Can’t remember……

Actually, the site’s definition of terrorism does not count attacks against military personnel in combat zones.
I posted it before on another thread:
Terrorism is defined in statute [22 USC § 2656f(d)(2)] as: premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents. (“Noncombatant” includes civilians and military personnel who at the time of the incident are unarmed or not on duty).
I hope that helps.
But, of course, you were just running interference.
Same old game, different day.
October 18th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
JihadBob Said, “Oh, and is the Congo a war zone? Can’t remember…”
Wikipedia says, “The Second Congo War, beginning in 1998, devastated the country, involved seven foreign armies and is sometimes referred to as the “African World War”. Despite the signing of peace accords in 2003, fighting continues in the east of the country. In eastern Congo, the prevalence of rape and other sexual violence is described as the worst in the world. The war is the world’s deadliest conflict since World War II, killing 5.4 million people.”
Justin said, “he (JihadBob) will ignore any and all evidence that does not justify his no-holds-barred hatred on Muslims. ”
Justin 1 – JihadBob 0
October 18th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
JihadBob Said, “Oh, and is the Congo a war zone? Can’t remember…”
So I guess we can’t include the terrorist attacks from the Congo conflict (which are the highest casualties in a conflict involving non-Muslims) if we were to use the above posters’ arguments against including Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thank you for clarifying that for me.
The gulf between casualties inflicted by Muslims and casualties from non-Muslims is even greater. (excluding Iraq, Afghanistan and now the Congo)
October 18th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
JihadBob Said, “So I guess we can’t include the terrorist attacks from the Congo conflict …”
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.
And thanks for reinforcing Justin’s argument that, “he (JihadBob) will ignore any and all evidence that does not justify his no-holds-barred hatred on Muslims”
October 18th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
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.
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.
For comparison’s sake, for the same time period, there were over 700 deaths from terror attacks in Algeria.
And we already agreed that the Congo would be left out since that is a war zone with seven other nations currently occupying the country – in the Congo, there were a total of 3072 terrorism related deaths (40% of non-Muslim terrorism deaths) for the entire period.
For Iraq, that number stood conservatively at 46,101 deaths. In Pakistan, there were 7,238 deaths, Afghanistan, around 9,000, Somalia 3,563, Thailand 2,804 and the Philippines with 1400 deaths.
For all countries with 100 or more fatalities from 2004-2009:
Afghanistan …………..~ 9,000
Algeria ………………..756
Bangladesh ……………..173
Burma ………………….129
Burundi ………………..379
Chad …………………..886
Columbia ……………….2,460
Congo, Democratic Republic .3072
Egypt ………………….154
Ethiopia ……………….299
Gaza Strip ……………..232
India ………………….6,095
Indonesia ………………164
Iran …………………..293
Iraq …………………..46,101
Israel …………………232
Kenya ………………….170
Lebanon ………………..390
Nepal ………………….1,246
Nigeria ………………..382
Pakistan ……………….7,238
Philippines …………….1,399
Russia …………………1,875
Somalia ………………..3,563
Spain ………………….202
Sri Lanka ………………1,472
Sudan ………………….2,317
Thailand ……………….2,804
Turkey …………………283
Uganda …………………535
Yemen ………………….188
Anyway you slice it, there are more Muslim terrorists than non-Muslim.
But thanks again for pointing out that the Congo is a warzone.
Seriously, thank you for mentioning the Congo is a warzone an shoule not be included in the tally – since I did not include Iraq, India or Afghanistan.
October 18th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
The vast majority of the dead are Muslims.
Why would you have any issue with that JihadBob?
You have said several times that most Muslims are “Islam-fascists”, extremists, etc.
I would’ve guessed that you’d be like Hugh Fitzgerald and celebrate the misery of Muslims.
“The Western world should show no great interest in helping Saudi Arabia. It should be secretly delighted with each day’s news, the news that brings word not of Infidel casualties, but of Muslim casualties, inflicted by other Muslims. ”
“We should take pleasure in the spectacle of warfare, in any Muslim land, warfare that takes up the attention of the locals, and uses up not only their resources, but also, one hopes, the resources of their neighbors.”
So, how does it feel to be the moral equivalent of this dude?
October 18th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
JihadBob Said, “.. between 2004 and 2009 ..”
Why only between 2004 and 2009? Because you do not want to include the millions killed in the Rwandan genocide? There were no armies there, just mobs. Because you do not want to include the thousands dead in India by mobs. Who is going to count the millions gassed by the Nazis? Because you do not want to acknowledge the victims of Bosnia? While you are at it add the Armerian genocide as well. How about the Japanese massacres in South-east Asia?
What is the problem with you? Really!!! What kind of a human are you? Does a wound bleed less because it was inflicted by a non-muslim? Or does a muslim bleed less if he were to be hit by another muslim? How can you carry around this twisted moral outlook and still be out of any mental institution? With that frame of mind you probably cheer everytime a muslim terrorist kills someone – as it would increase your ghoulish tally above.
Do you know anyone who’s life has been shattered by violent crime? If you did, you would not make such insane tallies. Every one of those numbers is a human being that deserves respect – in life or in death.

October 19th, 2010 at 11:07 am
Hi Bob,
I’m new to this particular board, and speak to you mostly because I find your opinion interesting, mostly because you appear to have attempted to approach it in a scientific fashion. However given the previous statement could you give your opinion on the following for me?
1. The data you have provided is from a single American funded think-tank who have an implied bias.
2. The data you’ve provided gives no implication of the religion and/or nationality of the aggressor.
3. While arguing that said data discounts those incidents committed during wartime, a significant number appear to be IED attacks/those committed by ‘insurgents’.
4. Data taken in this fashion, when multiple wars are being fought against predominantly Muslim countries, cannot be said to give a reliable base for which to form an opinion against a religion.
Terrorists (or freedom fighters as they will inevitably call themselves) are far more likely to be given a platform and thus to gather support for their cause in countries where a foreign body has attacked. The whole problem with your data is that it is inherently skewed – in the nineties in my country, there were IRA attacks brought about (significantly) by years of aggression against Irish people. Am I then to assume that, given a time frame of 1990-2000 that Catholics are to blame for the majority of the world’s problems?
October 19th, 2010 at 11:23 am
JihadBob Said, “Go ahead and do your own count”
JihadBob forgot that Syed said, “Do you know anyone who’s life has been shattered by violent crime? If you did, you would not make such insane tallies. Every one of those numbers is a human being that deserves respect – in life or in death.”
JihadBob – Why stop in the nineties, go back to Cain and Abel and try to figure out if it was Islamic or not (after all Muslims believe that Adam was the first Muslim). Counting the number of dead and the religion of their murderers is your insane hobby – not mine!
You and I might be on the same page against terrorism, if you did not constantly harp on it being a Muslim problem. Because doing so does a disservice to the billion or so peaceful muslims around the world. If you want to challenge the Islamic rhetoric terrorists use to justify their killings – I will stand right next to you. But when you say that Islam or Muslims are inherently criminal or terror-seeking, you are trying to lump me with the terrorists and in your own convoluted mind make me your enemy.
October 19th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
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.
October 19th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
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.

“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
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8587305.stm
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).
October 28th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
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.
