Yesterday afternoon on Fox’s The Five, co-host Bob Beckel suggested that if it were up to him, there would be a temporary moratorium on new mosques built in the United States until we could verify who is or is not involved in terrorist activities.
Beckel’s comments came in reaction to a story about an Islamic militant group called Boko Haram, which is suspected of having killed dozens of children at a school in Nigeria in a gruesome fashion this past weekend.
“These guys are murderers,” Beckel asserted. “They’re terrorists. And if this is what the prophet told you to do, then the prophet was wrong.”
He then recalled how earlier this year he received a lot of criticism for suggesting the United States temporarily suspend student visas from Muslim countries in response to the Boston Marathon bombings, and added his own new suggestion:
“Now I’ve already gotten enough mail from you all, you don’t like what I say about not letting your students come here. If it were up to me, I would not have another mosque built in this country until we got it worked out who was not a terrorist.”
“Oh, here we go,” co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle said, acknowledging the potential for controversy around this new suggestion for dealing with Muslims in the states.
Beckel then railed against American Muslim leaders who’ve been “cowardly” by not openly condemning the attacks for fear of “fatwa” retribution from abroad. “Well, fatwa this!” he said.
“Put her there,” co-host Andrea Tantaros exclaimed, offering Beckel a high-five from across the table.
“Peaceful religion?” Beckel later asked incredulously. “These guys, from the time they’re little kids, are taught to be terrorists.”

Broken clock, I guess.
I’ll be damned
Remember this old one: A conservative in NYC is a liberal who’s been mugged..
Of course, since Beckel spoke the truth, he is suddenly “Fox’s” man, by Mediaite.
Broken clock, etc.
I have very fond memories of my step-father trudging around the house when Beckel was on the TV when I was younger.
“F***ing Beckel! What a tool!”
He would get snarling mad at the TV. I wonder how he’d feel about Beckel with this?
Stopped clock indeed.
I saw this. He was very adamant. And I agree with him, except that I would change it to: “No more mosques in the US until Christian churches and Jewish temples start getting built in Mecca.”
Rights are reciprocal — those who fail to recognize the rights of others lose their own claim on being able to exercise those same rights that they would deny others.
Better yet, no new immigrants from approx. 20 Mid-East, N. Africa and South Asian countries. Would be the most simple, cost effective anti-terror strategy that exists.
Only Nixon could go to China.
Islam is terrorism.

” Bob Beckel has always been incredibly slow on the uptake, it appears.”
This happens when one is a moron.
Bob = - I.Q.
Even a stopped clock....
He’ll be forced to recant and apologize soon enough. Muslims remind of the smirking little boy, hiding behind the principal while he lectures another student who the Muslim tattled on..
I’d go Bob one step further, as Islam is not a religion but a hate cult, and mosques are nothing more the human weapons factories, they should all be closed down.
Western civilization cannot coexist with Islam and in fact nothing other than Islam can coexist with Islam. And to take it further but still be 100% truthful, even Islam cannot coexist with Islam hence all the tribal feuds.
The civilized world needs to outlaw Islam. Until Islam is outlawed it, just like its cousin cancer, will continue to spread until it consumes all of us.
I say no more of THEM here until we can build churches THERE :)
