Dowd: Muslim Persecution In U.S. ‘Bigger Problem’ Than Christian Persecution by ISIS
Newsbusters.org ^ | May 12, 2017 | Kristine Marsh

nce again, ABC’s Matthew Dowd has proved that even Twitter can’t keep him from saying something so stupid in so few words. Responding to FNC’s Shannon Bream tweet announcing that she was going to be talking to Franklin Graham about the increasing persecution of Christians across the world, Dowd bitterly brought up anti-Muslim “persecution” in the United States as the real issue we should be talking about.

ABC’s chief political analyst and a self described “Catholic” bitterly slammed the idea that Christians are persecuted across the world, calling Muslim “persecution” in the United States, a “bigger issue” and “bigger problem.”

@ShannonBream @toddstarnes @Franklin_Graham @FoxNews @AmericaNewsroom Maybe you can talk about the bigger problem which is persecution of Muslims in America and around the globe. Bigger issue. — Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) May 12, 2017

The Free Beacon’s Alex Griswold mocked Dowd’s tweet and rightly noted the difference between converting to Islam in America vs. converting to Islam in an Islamic-majority country.

I really hate to give away spoilers, but one will get you killed. Usually in a gruesome fashion, usually by the government. — Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) May 12, 2017

The absurdity of Dowd’s tweet needs no explanation to any reasonable person, but apparently liberal analysts on ABC are not reasonable people.

Newsflash Mr. Dowd, are Muslims worshipping in underground mosques in the United States? Do they face stoning or beheading for their allegiance to Allah? Are their mosques bombed routinely on their most holy day of the year? No? Then maybe the level of “persecution” you mention isn’t really persecution at all and you shouldn’t be dismissing some of the really horrific things happening around the world to Christians.

These people are self righteous useful idiots.

What kills me about the Left is that they are all smarter and know better than everyone else. Only humility the experience is when they bow down to their leader like Hillary or Obama.

No doubt, this is a mental disease that removes one’s ability to have any rational, logical, or individual thought. The mental equivalent of sheep

I’m just here for the pictures, not interested in what the loon has to say about anything.

Yes, Muslims claiming to be getting their feelings hurt (according to CAIR, at least) is SO much worse than Christians getting slaughtered by Muslims.

I’ll refrain from typing what I truly think of this person. I won’t even refer to it by way of a salutation.

or what about the news, that ISIS literally throw homosexuals off the roof of tall buildings to a certain death???

Why is there such silence from “LGBT” types on that issue????

These commies will just never stop. We’ve long since past the time for patience with them, in a kind effort to show them how to think straight. No more. Now I just say re: ALL of them: LOCK THEM ALL UP, NOW.

She should put her money where her mouth is then, go there and spread the gospel. See how that works out for her.

Fundamentalist Islamic terrorism is nothing to lose your head over.

I can't explain it, except perhaps to say that they only care about things that they think won't get their @$$es kicked. Put any of these bleeding-@$$ liberals anywhere near ISIS and see how fast all their orifices, mouths and others, snap shut.

Jews are attacked more than Muslims in the U.S. And the U.S. is a very safe country for Jews.
