Fox‘s Bill O’Reilly, who hosts the most-watched cable news show, has spent much of the week making inflammatory claims about Islam.
On his April 23 program, O’Reilly explained that Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was “posting jihad garbage on the Internet. And still, he was not being watched. We simply can’t have it.”
But that was just the beginning. “It’s clear to any sane person that Muslim jihadists are a threat to the world,” O’Reilly declared. “Yet, President Obama will not say that.”
O’Reilly went on to play what he figured was an incriminating clip of Obama not decrying jihadists. His point was slightly undermined by the fact that the clip was from the day of the bombing, when no one knew who had carried out the attack. O’Reilly went on:
It’s clear the two Boston bombers were jihadists. They believed they have a right to kill children to serve their religion. Who else does that? What other theology in this world justifies murdering innocent people? The answer is? Only radical Islam allows terror murder. That’s the truth.
Islam, radical or otherwise, does no such thing–just as it would be wrong to blame Catholicism for O’Reilly’s calls to attack civilians in several predominantly Muslim nations.
He went on to make this unusual claim:
Also, most Muslims on this Earth are good people but they are not helping to neutralize the jihad. They are not standing up against it in any numbers. And that includes American Muslims; they largely remain silent.
This is confusing–most Muslims are “good people” who don’t oppose murdering innocent people?–mostly because it’s not true.
Fox’s Bob Beckel
The following night (4/24/13), Fox “liberal” Bob Beckel was on to defend his plan to halt all student visas for Muslims for the next two years–a policy that he defended in part because Muslims have never condemned any terrorist acts. He might feel otherwise, he said,
if I listened to one person from those Muslim communities, leaders, either in politics or in the mosques, who at one point, any one, tell me, whoever said it’s a bad thing that happened 9/11 or any other terrorist act. Not one of them ever stepped forward. Not one.
This is, of course, a grotesque and bigoted falsehood.
Put the pieces together, though, and the “logic” of O’Reilly’s argument is pretty clear–and clearly disturbing: Islam allows for the murder of innocents. Muslims, even in this country, do not condemn such acts. You don’t have to work too hard to figure out that this is what he means.
And if that weren’t enough, he raised the stakes:
This is a situation we all face in America. The jihad is real. Radical Muslims are killing innocent people and threatening the world. Country like Iran would wipe out every Jew on earth if it could and then they would wipe us out, if it could.
And the following night (4/24/13), O’Reilly revealed himself to be a conspiracy theorist about the Boston bombings.
Some left-wing media already touting the lone wolf theory that the two young terror bombers acted alone; nobody helped them kill four Americans and injure more than 200 others in Boston last week.
Of course, “left-wing media” are saying this because that is what investigators are saying. O’Reilly’s not buying it, because clearly hatching a terror plot would require outside funding:
So how did that guy afford a six-month trip to Russia? Who paid for that? Also, who bought the guns, the explosives and the cars the brothers had? Who bought all of that? It simply doesn’t add up that these two financed their own terror spree.
He went on:
Now, it’s certainly possible someone was giving them money, not knowing they were jihadist loons. That’s possible. But again, it’s doubtful these two could have financed the Boston Marathon terror attack on their own. Now, why do some on the left want the lone wolf theory to be true? Because if it is shown that organized Muslim terrorists helped the two brothers, that would lead to a crackdown on whoever did it.
So, in O’Reilly’s mind, Islam permits violence. “Good” Muslims don’t condemn terrorism. The Boston bombers must have had some outside funding or organizing. Sounds like somebody is looking for a religion to scapegoat–or, given his track record, some countries to attack.
And this from Biden, at a memorial service, no less
“They can never defeat us. They can never overthrow us. They can never occupy us. So why? Why? Whether it’s al-Qaeda central out of the Fatah or two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knock-off jihadis here in Boston, why do they do what they do?”
Ask O’Reilly, Joe.
Of course, they both know the answer
And do all they can to obfuscate it.
As always, rightist and ignorant nationalistic types, in their fear, demand that Obama, all Muslims, and liberals in general stop their thought-crimes and declare that the US the best and most wonderful place on earth, forever. O’Rielly’s massive ignorance breeds his comical insecurity and petulance, and so, like many right-wing commentators (including Mr. Beckel, an honorary winger, as it were), he needs to hear from waverers like the President and all Muslims effusive praise for . . . something, and condemnation out of hand for “jihadists” and other imaginary trouble-makers. Any word on whether O’Reilly knows about those Canadian Muslims who turned in the “jihadists” who were planning some mayhem?
Anybody got the stat on how many people have been murdered by Christians in the past century v. the number murdered by Muslims?
I’ll be the ratio is hundreds or thousands to one.
Kindly ask Mr. Hannity and Mr. O’Relly
Who killed millions during last 2 World or European WARS including invasion of holy Iraq since 1914?
Who have stolen 4 continents which is half of this World killing almost all original people?
And what about followings?
Savagery sources how Christianity was spread and how 4 vast Continents were stolen by bearer of Christian Crusaders with sword, bombs and WMD.
Siege of Tenochtitlán (Mexico City) by Cortez.
Cortés and the Siege of Tenochtitlán in 1519. The Spanish attacked the Aztec capital with only a few score of men, and massacred thousands in a single day.The celebrated historian W. H. Prescott wrote: “The carnage was horrible. The ground was heaped up with slain, until the maddened combatants were obliged to climb over the human mounds to get at one another. The miry soil was saturated with blood, which ran off like water, and dyed the canals themselves with crimson.”
Spanish Inquisition “missionaries” putting the Bull of Borgia into effect in the New World!!
Soon after landing on the island of Hispaniola, the Spanish began their relentless search for gold. Every three months, the Indians were forced to surrender a hawk’s bell filled with gold dust. In return they were given a copper token stamped with the date. Those who were found without a current token had their hands amputated as an example to others. Others who resisted were fed to the savage Spanish dogs.
All the stolen gold and silver was shipped back to Spain in order to fight the Glorious Reformation of Saint Martin Luther and Saint William Tyndale!!

Churchill: Let the fakir die
It is Anglo Saxons and Europeans who are hateful for their power of WMD and usury/interest based money earned from blood of the poorest and thus those trillions of pound or dollars are nothing but blood of the poorest of the poor of this world as they occupied whole world as greatest Imperialist power or powers this world ever created.
WINSTON Churchill. The man millions of Britons voted ‘The Greatest Briton of All Time’ at the turn of the millennium, ahead of Newton, Shakespeare, Darwin and Brunel. The man who advocating gassing “recalcitrant Arabs as an experiment”.
The man who described Mahatma Gandhi as “a half-naked fakir” who “ought to be laid, bound hand and foot, at the gates of Delhi and then trampled on by an enormous elephant with the new viceroy seated on its back” [Link]. The man who is in the news again – although there isn’t too much coverage.
So there was never justice in this World. Justice was always for the mighty power and whatever evil way they implemented justice on the weakest.

But fertilizer company owners (and the agencies that fail to regulate them) are NOT? Context, A-hole. Context.
Christians have been fighting Muslims for thousands of years. I have never met a “good” Muslim. Most that I have met hate people from North America. Why are they here? Well in Canada a Liberal named Pierre E. Trudeau opened the immigration flood gates in the 70’s, and to this day its easier to gain access to Canada if your not of European decent. Just look at Toronto, you would never see a Muslim when I was growing up, now they are everywhere. In WASP neighbourhood’s. They have taken the LORDS prayer out of our schools saying it offends them. Well why did they come to a Christian country? The new Jihad is to overwhelm us by population and education. Just watch all you new-age frigging hippies… Your kids kids will have zero respect for your pathetic views on equality.
Instead of worrying about a bunch of idiots who hate us, lets help the kids that need it. USA is by far the worst western offender for kids going to school hungry. SHAME
The DANGER, Mr.Hart, is that you & many others are ignorant of
the insidious, deceptive nature of Islam. Islam’s holy book, the
Quran, clearly states that Christians & Jews AND anyone else that
does not accept their god is to be killed/exterminated. You need to
google the following 4 words: Islam in Layman’s Terms. Then, you
need to read it & understand it. It is not hyperbole; it is Truth that
is being played out every minute of every day around the world
but, to be sure, is certainly not being reported in this country by mainstream media. The term “Islamophobia” is an excellent example of the insidious, deceptive nature of Islam. By the way, NOWHERE
in the Bible is it stated that Christians are to kill another human
being because he/she is of a certain race or religion. Just wanted
to let you know that there are many Americans that aren’t buying
what you are selling.

When the U.S. Military invaded Saddam, they did it with more than 100000 soldiers, %10 were Arabic linguists, cultural advisors, native speakers and most of them were either Arab Christians or Arab Muslims. The same scenario was repeated in Afghanistan, most of the linguists were Afghani-Americans and of course local linguists as well. But the main stream media do not speak about it, Pentagon managed to recruit thousands of Muslim Americans to fight terror and I was one of them. As you can see, Bill o’reilly and all those bigots in Fox news ignore such facts and prefer to inflame the Americans against each other as they always do. If Bill O’reilly said that the man looks like a Jew, I am sure he will be done. A coward if you ask me…
