Fox ‘Liberal’ Bob Beckel: No New U.S. Mosques Until Muslims ‘Denounce’ Kenya Attack

[Purveyor]

On Monday on Fox News’ “The Five,” ostensible liberal panelist Bob Beckel said that the United States should forbid the construction of any new Islamic mosques until “moderate” Muslims “stand up and denounce what’s happened in the name of your prophet.” Media Matters reported that if he had his way, Beckel would also refuse to let any more Muslim students into the country until such a pledge or apology were made.

The remarks came during a discussion of Saturday’s attack on a mall in Nairobi, Kenya, in which Muslim al Shabaab gunmen attacked the mall and killed more than 60 people, resulting in a days-long siege that ended on Tuesday.

Co-host Eric Bolling said, “They say Islam is the religion of peace, but they have to start proving it. And they are not proving it anywhere.”

“They are not the religion of peace,” agreed Beckel. “Listen, if people who are supposedly peaceful, you moderate Muslims out there. Now listen, I know I have been on this thing for a long time, but the time has come for you stand up and say something.”

He continued, “And I will repeat what I said before: No Muslim students coming here with visas. No more mosques being built here until you stand up and denounce what’s happened in the name of your prophet. It is not what your prophet meant as soon as I know. I don’t know his mother’s name and I don’t care. The point is, that the time has come for Muslims in this country and other people in the world to stand up and be counted, and if you can’t, you’re cowards.”

1. then Christian need to do the same when one of them

shoots up a place...

[jberryhill]

2. Ugh

First off, no Muslim needs to apologize for the misbehavior of other Muslims any more than I need to apologize for every stupid thing done by people sharing any demographic characteristic of mine.

Second, Beckel is deaf if he cannot hear Muslims condemn these sorts of things.

4. We all know how Fox selects its "liberals"...

[libdem4life]

5. How about no new funds for defense until we apologize to Iraq and Afghanistan for the millions

of dead and wounded and homeless and shattered families because of a retarded president's "derangement syndrome" to get revenge for his papa, the poor ex-head CIA guy. Oh yeah, and also take care of our own wounded Vets with medical, psychiatric and job benefits.

And further, the entire Congress should be required to daily read The Beatitudes...the highest literary achievement of our Christian religion.

6. I remember Bob Beckel! Didn't he and Pat Buchanan used to scream at each other on CNN?

I thought he was a moron then and he has obviously regressed in the 20 years since then.

Now he's a moron and a whore.

7. yeah, then they fired him when he got caught with a Prostitute

[Posteritatis]

8. Not like Fox would notice (or care) about the people who have denounced such things.

I have little enough faith in people here doing that, never mind the part of the spectrum that actually wants a genocidal war in the long run.

9. No new US churches until Christians denounce WBC

12. Did he give any indication of how many "moderate muslims" have to denounce the attack...

before more US mosques can be built?
