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.

Good idea. Ask Glenn to put Grand Rapids Mi. on his next tour.

That is the plan now. He will only be doing occasional appearances on GMA and I hope we can find out beforehand from his website when he will be on.

I love Glenn Beck.....they took him off the air in Cleveland and put on a local. Bad move.

The funniest ever was Glenn Beck on Valentine's Day. He did a routine where he would put on a wife whose husband forgot Valentines day and acted as if the husband had called the radio station and professed his love for his wife...it was hysterical...you really have to listen to see the humor in it.

I urge everyone on here to email ABC and let them know we want to hear him.....................

This site should be checked out by all and sign the petitions. Brigitte Gabriel has lived the hell we all could be in for if we don't wake up tp the threat.

Glen Beck is my newest favorite talk TV show to watch. Allows me to escape from Shep Smith which is worth its weight in gold.
