NEW YORK (AP) -- Fox News Channel host Brian Kilmeade is apologizing for saying on the air that "all terrorists are Muslim."

Kilmeade, a host of the "Fox & Friends" morning show, said Monday that he misspoke on Friday when he and his colleagues were discussing the appearance last week on "The View" of Fox's Bill O'Reilly.

Who cares! Why are we apologizing for freaking everything. geez

[SatinDoll]

Kilmeade is correct. Not all terrorists are Muslim.

Since 1960, 98% of all terrorism has been committed by young men between the ages of 16 and 55, and who just happen to be Muslim. That Muslim identity is the common factor.

Statistically that is very close to 100% but when it comes to PC that isn't close enough.

[Political Junkie Too]

What happened to the Axelrod Rule of leveling the charge and making the Muslims prove it false?

And we wonder why this country has turned into a bunch of whiney wussies.
DOWN WITH THE PERSONAL COMPUTER!!!

Oh, sorry. Wrong PC.

DOWN WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!

[himno hero]

He might be right.

There are narco traffickers which employ terror, a little farc, a little Irish, a little Maoist, but globally, Islam hosts terror on an Koranic level. Perhaps the answer is 95 percent, so therefore not all terrorists are muslim.

[Ann Archy]

All THE terrorists are Muslims.

Irish on both sides of their civil war. Tamils in Sri Lanka. FARC in South America. Hindus and Buddhists in Eastern India.

[TexasPatriot1]

My apologies, sir.

[ColdOne]

Irish on both sides of their civil war. Tamils in Sri Lanka. FARC in South America. Hindus and Buddhists in Eastern India. Thank you for the clarification.

I won’t apologize for telling the truth about this almost 1400 year old blood trail across history.If the MSM wants to be thier dhimmi’s well bless them ...as for me...no thanks!

[Cicero]

I don’t agree with his use of the word “Muslims” in that sentence. Only the word “all.” Because there are at least a few other kinds of terrorists.

Then, when he is forced to retract, it sounds as if he’s excusing Muslims, when in fact the only thing wrong with what he said was the word “all.”

In other words, don’t embarass the cause of truth by exaggerating—even a little.

[Cicero]

Aargh. I don’t DISAGREE.

...Brian Kilmeade is apologizing for saying on the air that "all terrorists are Muslim."

That is outrageous! It couldn't be much more than 99% of them.

My comment from a post this morning:

Fox News lost a lot of credibility with me this morning. Last week, I heard one of the regular male hosts say that “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims”. I thought to myself at the time that this is why I watch Fox. This morning, he apologized on the air for saying it. It was pathetic. Obviously they have their bias issues, too.

[chopperman]

He should have said “Statistically, most terrorists are Muslims.”

[The Comedian]

DHS told us that all terrorists are retuning vets, pro-lifers, gun owners, Christians, and Ron Paul/Chuck Baldwin supporters.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[celtic gal]

Well that is weak..the terrorists have all been moslems. I don’t see any from the IRA these days.

[peeps36]

Fox News should do a scientific study that shows the percentage of terrorist attacks carried out by moslums. I bet it's 99.98% or higher. We are in big trouble when the truth takes a backseat to our enemy's propaganda.
