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.

Oh, how I wish Glenn would strike a blow against fascist PC and for freedom of speech and simply say, "You bet I do."

LOVE IT....

Glenn Beck is one of the FEW TV or radio people that have come right out and told the truth about our enemy.

The news here is these obscure groups obviously trying to upstage CAIR, which was apparently a few hours slow on the story.

I'm honestly surprised Glenn Beck is still alive.

He's a true patriot, and has to be on the sh1t list of radical islam.

Prediction - ABC will back down, force Glenn Beck to attend sensitivity training, and then force-convert all ABC employees to Islam.

If he is getting those groups upset, he must be doing something right! Now let's see if ABC/Disney has the courage to stand by him.

I agree. We need to let ABC know that we want to see Glenn.

I don't know whether I should laugh, or get angry (leaning this way) at this kind of crap anymore.

Glen Beck is hate speech?

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