Perhaps a petition to Fox New’s advertisers is also in order, since the only thing Roger Ailes, (for whom Islamophobia is a key strategy), cares about is what’s in his wallet.
Tell Fox News Enough is Enough
Tuesday night, Fox News smeared an important member of the Northern Virginia community. This year, I introduced a resolution to recognize the 30th Anniversary of Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, which has worked to expand opportunity and help their neighbors build a better future. Fox doesn’t like that the resolution passed.
Sign this petition now to tell Fox News enough is enough. While the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center reaches out to provide assistance to people regardless of their faith, Fox News is attempting to divide our country using fear and hate.
What did Fox News yesterday after people in Northern Virginia started pushing back? They doubled down.
Last night, they again smeared Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center. While Dana Perino seems to begin to get it by the end of last night’s segment, what her colleagues at Fox News apparently missed in the middle of their fear-mongering is all of the good work that thousands of members of Dar Al-Hijrah do in our community each week.
Please join me in signing the petition to tell Fox News that it is time for them to stop dividing our country using fear and hate. Let’s stand with the Virginia Legislature to say that we ought to celebrate all of those institutions in our communities that work to expand opportunity and create a better future for our children.
