Meanwhile on Fox News: "Islamophobia Is Nothing But a Myth"
Donald Trump wants to lock out all the Muslims, Nevada lawmakers are offering to shoot the Syrian refugees—it’s arguably a real unpopular time to be Muslim outside of the Middle East. Not at all! say the fine folks over at Fox.
“It turns out Muslim hate crimes—not as big an issue as the White House would like you to believe,” Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade proclaimed, brightly, early Tuesday morning. “In 2014, look at how the breakdown goes when it comes it hate crimes. 59 percent of the hate crimes, anti-Semitic. 14 percent anti-Islamic. Important. Look at the difference!”
And in a surprising turn of events, Kilmeade’s guest, John Hajjar—the co-chairman of the American Middle East Coalition for Democracy—agreed with him: The Muslims are just milking it for sympathy.
“You know, they’ve been creating, as I said, this victimhood status for Muslims for, you know, in conjunction with the Council of the American Islamic Relations and other Muslims groups such as Muslim Student Association, the Islamic Circle of North America, to really divert attention from what’s going on,” Hajjar said. “It’s not been happening. And Islamophobia is really nothing but a myth.”
Here’s one thing no one involved in today’s broadcast can deny: Reality is what you make it.
