Muslim Groups Opposed to ABC's Hiring of Radio Talk Show Host

(CNSNews.com) - Three Arab and Muslim American advocacy groups are voicing their opposition to ABC's "Good Morning America" hiring talk-show host Glenn Beck, claiming he has "an obvious anti-Arab and anti-Muslim prejudice in his broadcasts." The Arab American Institute, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council claim Beck made "threats and blatantly inaccurate statements" on his show. The groups sent a letter to ABC/Disney asking for a meeting to detail their concerns. They have also launched a membership action campaign urging supporters to contact ABC News over Beck's hiring. "[Glenn Beck's] addition to 'Good Morning America' would disseminate his prejudiced, openly-hostile and ignorant commentary to an even broader national audience, and diminish the credibility of your reputable and highly-rated news show," said the groups said in the letter to ABC. "To provide a platform for his hateful speech is dangerous and irresponsible, and we strongly and urgently implore you to reconsider this move," they wrote.

In other words, he speaks the truth. Maybe we could compromise and give CAIR their choice of Glenn Beck or Daniel Pipes.

"..claiming he has "an obvious anti-Arab and anti-Muslim prejudice.."

No he hasn't. He still claims that the majority of Muslims are peaceful just as Rush, Sean and Levin also maintain.

I have heard him say that he is going to do specials on Muslims in America and global warming in coming weeks. Note he is strongly conservative.

Is that a veiled threat?

What's next? Laura Ingraham should wear a Burka everytime she appears on tv?

Dear God, I hope not. IMHO, she should be required to wear a bikini everytime she appears on TV.

Glenn Beck is a good thing for ABC! Just think, they hired one of the most knowledgable and honest people to discuss the threat that Islamofascists pose to our country and the freedoms we enjoy. ABC might just slow down their own demise; but, let us hope it is just a small slow down.

Why are these Muslim "evil rights" groups always angry when someone speaks out against Radical Islam? If they are the "Moderate Muslims" they always claim to be, you would think they would join the fight against the Islamists who are giving their wonderful religion a bad name. The truth is, these groups represent a Fifth Column within this country which is working hard to destroy our way of life. They betray their true natures by always demanding that anyone critical of Islam be silenced. If they had their way, we would all be forced to bow to Islam or die.
