Mike Rosen wouldn't mind a terrorist attack, so long as it occurs against Muslims
Mike Rosen either has a very bad sense of humor or is a deranged lunatic. But in the anti-Muslim crowd, he will likely be hailed as a hero for speaking up against the very scary menace that is Islam in Manhattan.
On Wednesday night, I debated KHOW’s Peter Boyles and 850 KOA host/Denver Post columnist Mike Rosen in front of a sold out audience in Centennial. During a question about whether an Islamic Center should be allowed to be built in Lower Manhattan, Rosen said that if one is built, he supports terrorists blowing it up. You can listen to the full debate here, or the specific excerpt in question here. After both myself and Boyles said the Islamic Center should be allowed to be built, Rosen said:
“I think they should be allowed to build it, followed by the hijacking of an Iranian plane right into that building and blow it to smithereens.”
Remember, the same Mike Rosen now using his media platform to endorse a new terrorist attack on New York City, was the major voice leading the crusade pressuring University of Colorado to fire professor Ward Churchill. In the clip, you’ll first hear my voice, then Rosen, then conservative host Peter Boyles (who you can hear disagreeing with Rosen and agreeing with me).
If you listen to the whole debate, in addition to this exchange, you’ll also hear Rosen periodically make sexist and racist jokes.

What if he was Muslim?
Well, the same people who listen and support this nutter would be screaming for some kind of punishment.
That’s what.

I doubt these racists will be fired for comments much worse than Helen Thomas or Rick Sanchez. This is is another category — hate speech. When will this sort of crap have consequences?
October 9th, 2010 at 9:30 am
Isn’t this considered a threat? Not just Freedom of Speech. He should be arrested for threatening!
October 9th, 2010 at 10:55 am
Wow. Friggin’ WOW. An explicit call for terrorist violence (an anti-Muslim hate crime) followed by wild, thunderous applause. Shows you that those opposing the mosque don’t really have a problem with terrorism per se, just Muslims. But what if he said the same thing about a synagogue or a church?
Everyone who clapped for him is a VILE HYPOCRITE!!!

With Muslims it kinda come natural.

The difference dear John is that America claims to be civilised, a beacon of Tolerance in the World and an example of Democracy that Pakistan must follow or else.
How can this American claim to be superior to the Taliban when he is in fact doing what they do.

English Defence League forges links with America’s Tea Party
The English Defence League, a far-right grouping aimed at combating the “Islamification” of British cities, has developed strong links with the American Tea Party movement.
An Observer investigation has established that the EDL has made contact with anti-jihad groups within the Tea Party organisation and has invited a senior US rabbi and Tea Party activist to London this month. Rabbi Nachum Shifren, a regular speaker at Tea Party conventions, will speak about Sharia law and also discuss funding issues.
The league has also developed links with Pamela Geller, who was influential in the protests against plans to build an Islamic cultural centre near Ground Zero.Geller, darling of the Tea Party’s growing anti-Islamic wing, is advocating an alliance with the EDL. The executive director of the Stop Islamisation of America organisation, she recently met EDL leaders in New York and has defended the group’s actions, despite a recent violent march in Bradford.
Geller, who denies being anti-Muslim, said in one of her blogs: “I share the EDL’s goals… We need to encourage rational, reasonable groups that oppose the Islamisation of the west.”
Devin Burghart, vice-president of the Kansas-based Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights, said: “Geller is acting as the bridge between the EDL and the Tea Party. She plays an important role in bringing Islamophobia into the Tea Party. Her stature has increased substantially inside the Tea Party ranks after the Ground Zero mosque controversy. She has gained a lot of credibility with that stuff.

Don’t you mean Mecca Delenda Est? An Islamophobe genocidal? No!
/sarcasm.
October 10th, 2010 at 8:15 am
This is spewing hate openly and condoning act of violence. This guy should be behind bars for rest of his life.

Actually, Mecca (incluiding the Ka’aba) was destroyed in 930 AD by a pseudo-Shiite cult called the Qarmatians, but the city was rebuilt and Islam carried on much as before.
October 10th, 2010 at 10:18 am
They think that Islam is some magical monolithic entity with its nucleus located in Mecca. According to them, destroy Mecca = destroy Islam. Yeah, right.
October 10th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Silly Islamophobes.
They can’t even get references to the Punic wars right.
October 10th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
@ George:
Yeah. The Qarmatians were Isma’ili Shi’a, and an extremist interpretation of Isma’ilism at that, so they were significantly different from what most of you probably think about Shi’ism (and from modern Isma’ilis for that matter). The Qarmatians were actually rivals of the Isma’ili Fatimid dynasty, centered in Egypt. Fascinating history, if anyone wants to read about it.

Believe me, I’m not defending Mike Rosen, but don’t drag Ward Churchhill into this–that faux Native American (his claim is ‘family lore,’ and a ‘honorary member certificate’ provided by a tribe to just about anyone) his dismissal was long overdue due to academic fraud. It’s a pity that the school didn’t act before the tenure process, and this all would’ve been avoided.
October 11th, 2010 at 11:32 am
@Zakariya Ali Sher
Indeed, the attack on Mecca was actually a false flag attack, as the Qarmatians tried to fool the Abbasids into thinking the Fatimids were responsible.
February 20th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
The Muslims are all ready to put Mike Rosen down for saying he would support a attack on the Islamic Center if it was built in New York. I agree with him!! Where the hell were you muslims when the 9/11 happened????? Not one of you came out to say any thing about that shit head who was behind it all. It was put you head in your ass and hide time… I support the place being blown to bits…. Why the HELL would you even want to put one in the same area that your people destroyed???? The only reason is so you can say FUCK YOU to America… AGAIN…WEll in my opinion we should not have wasted 10 years on this war we should have just dropped a Feffin hydrogen bomb on their ass and sucked all the oxygen out of their air to kill them all. Just wipe the whole race out.. Why even spare the kids.. Don’t get me wrong I love kids but over there they FUCK them kids up in the head early on to think it is cool and an honor to kill. Are you Fucken RETARDED???? And we have to rebuild your country now…FUCK YOU!!!!!!
