Fox And Friends Muse About ‘Special Screenings’ And ‘Special Debriefings’ For Muslims In The Military
Fox And Friends Muse About ‘Special Screenings’ And ‘Special Debriefings’ For Muslims In The Military
After news broke yesterday that the suspected gunman responsible for the “horrific outburst of violence” at Fort Hood, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was Muslim, some commentators began assigning “collective responsibility for the actions of one man” to the Muslim community as a whole. On Fox and Friends this morning, Geraldo Rivera warned against casting “a gloomy cloud of suspicion over all the Muslim G.I.s who serve with great honor”:
RIVERA: I think that the great tragedy of this incident is that it will cast a gloomy cloud of suspicion over all the Muslim G.I.s who serve with great honor and who are an amazing assist to the United States in this conflict we’re having with radical Islam. This will, and also, I remember my dad, just very briefly. When we were growing up there would be a notorious crime and my dad used to gather the family. We used to say, like a little prayer, “please God” that it’s not a Puerto Rican. You know because we had, dealing with so many social pressures and prejudices, dealing with all the rest of it, we didn’t want one of these awful examples to cast aspersion and negativity on our group. And this is the same thing with American Muslims now, specifically American Muslim G.I.s.
But, as both Raw Story and Media Matters have noted, later in the segment the hosts of Fox and Friends suggested that “special debriefings” and “special screenings” of Muslim soldiers should be considered. “If I’m going to be sticking in an outpost, I got to know the guy next to me is not going to want to kill me,” said Brian Kilmeade. Gretchen Carlson pondered whether the military had been “exercising political correctness in not approaching” Hasan “as seriously as they would have had he not been a Muslim.” Watch it:
Muslim- and Arab-American organizations have loudly spoken against Hasan’s attack. “We condemn this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law,” said a Council on American-Islamic Relations statement. In a statement, the Association of Patriotic Arab Americans in Military urged “the media, government officials and all of our fellow Americans to recognize that the actions of Hasan are those of a deranged gunman, and are in no way representative of the wider Arab American or American Muslim community.”

open bigotry and fear mongering. Remember the red scare?
November 6th, 2009 at 1:33 pmIt’s just a matter of time until FOX and Limbaugh blame the shootings on the President.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:33 pmAnd what if the shooter had been a fundamentalist Christian. Do you suppose they’d be raising the same issues? Special screenings, etc. for people holding THOSE belief systems? Fat chance!
November 6th, 2009 at 1:37 pm.
FOXPRAVDA LOGIC…
… I’ve an acquaintance that’s rich and Jewish. Jews make good bankers.
… My Chinese neighbor just totaled her car. Women and Asians do not know how to drive well.
… I have a friend who’s black and unemployed. Blacks are lazy.
… I know a man who killed people and he’s Muslim. Muslims are terrorists.
.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:41 pmAnd what if the shooter had been a fundamentalist Christian. Do you suppose they’d be raising the same issues?
Of course not! They would be villifying the victim, instead. Just look at what happened when Dr. Tiller was murdered.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:42 pmMax, on your last point…..except when they are christains. Then they are doing gods will.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:43 pmAnd how does Faux handle the report that a lot of Neonazi / skinhead / American paramilitary types have joined the military ?
November 6th, 2009 at 1:43 pmThese gutless chickenhawks should speak with Daniel Inouye. Inouye was a 2nd gen Japanese citizen, who enlisted in the army after Japan attacked America. His heroism during a battle in Italy saved his platoon, cost him an arm, and earned him the highest military decoration our country can bestow. If FoxNews was around back then, they would’ve recommeded “special screenings and debriefings” for him, too.
I’m sure there were Japanese-American soldiers who attacked their fellow troops. They were absolutely in the minority. To whine and scream about how Muslims pose a “special” situation in the American military is disgraceful.
Hasan did not go on a rampage because he was a member of a sleeper cell. He snapped, he lost his mind, and he committed a horrible act of violence.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:43 pmthis’ll get me some points!
… shows that the ‘enemy is infiltrating our military.’”
we don’t know that is NOT a fact… maybe not this guy, but it was a direct order from binladin himself, if i recall…
but the neonazis and bangers got those same orders too…
November 6th, 2009 at 1:44 pmWould this same top Republican congressional recruit also say that the racial extremists and neo-Nazis in uniform are an ‘enemy infiltrating our military’?
November 6th, 2009 at 1:47 pmI think they’ve got a point. Maybe before issuing a gun permit, your religious and political views about abortion should be considered. It is a good thing to disarm those who have crazy views about anything.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:49 pmHas anyone of “Fox News” suggested Ms. Malkin’s approach yet? I.E. Internment?
Wait for it…
November 6th, 2009 at 1:51 pmMajor Hasan was unkind enough to provide America with a very slight taste of the American Blackiwater barbarism which we have visited upon Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001 and 2003 respectively. He had a psychotic reaction to our psychotic invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq.

” . . . enemy infiltrating our military”
What utter fear mongering BS; appropriate to the source I imagine. Like the alleged shooter, let’s just call him that, goes to med school, and works for 5 years at Walter Reed and at Ft. Hood dealing with traumatized and damaged GI’s because his real aim is to one day go beserk, snap and blow away a bunch of people.
These a**holes who masquerade as patriots, from the Limbaughs and Becks on down to this unnamed republican congressional recruit really need to be called out in the strongest possible terms. There doesn’t seem to be a bigoted or racially charged possibility that they don’t relish pouring gas on and waiting for someone to throw a match.

What those idiots are seeking is a xtian army.
They found it in Blackwater, now renamed Xe.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:53 pmI watched Faux News this morning just to see how they would handle the Muslim angle. In the segment following this one, Brian had two psychologists and they did not agree with the Muslim theory. The military psych. said it was more of a “mass murderer”situation . When they both disagreed with Brian, his face fell like a little kid having his candy snatched from him.
They so obviously wanted reinforcement of their theories they ended the segment with “breaking news”.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:54 pm“If I’m going to be sticking in an outpost, I got to know the guy next to me is not going to want to kill me,” said Brian Kilmeade.
Welcome to the world of the gays and lesbians in the military.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:56 pmRivera has it right. Kilmeade and Carlson are full of crap.
Kilmeade’s worrying that every Muslim might want to kill him reminds me of decades of white Southern women worrying that every black man wants to rape them.
And Carlson thinking that “political correctness” allows Muslims to slip through various safety nets? Give me a break. If you’re a Muslim in this country (or even if you have a “Muslim” sounding name), you’re watched. And if you do anything remotely suspicious, you’re watched very closely. And if you do anything against the law, the authorities are on you right away. Believe me, if Major Hasan had been doing anything that would arouse any suspicion that he had terrorist leanings, no amount of concern for political correctness would prevent authorities from approaching him and questioning him. The idea that non-Muslims are more closely scrutinized is laughable.
And so many people are reporting that it was Major Hasan the Fort Hood gunman who was the same “Hasan” who made posts in support of suicide bombers. It has not been determined that is so.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:57 pmLondra, that’s because they have been taught to hate and have to be re-indoctrinated before being released back into society.
Right wing terrorists in America are still the biggest threat we face. No doubt about it.
November 6th, 2009 at 1:58 pmGreat approach. We also need to make sure we have special screenings for white right wingers in light of Tim McVeigh and most assuredly of christian fundamentalists following Eric Rudolph. I think we have covered the Fox viewership. Anyone else you want us to keep an eye on Gretchen?

November 6th, 2009 at 2:09 pmGreat to hear that Londra. FDR also pushed for social security, wanted universal healthcare and wanted to add 3 more Supreme Court Justices. Obama will get right on those with your approval.
thanks for seeing the light.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:11 pmFDR interned some JAPANESE not everybody Asian. And Japan actually bombed Pearl Harbor. It was Saudis who attacked us on 9/11 and we’ve persecuted everybody but them.

Typically, serial killers are predominately white.
This is a disturbing trend, to have a black serial killer.
Maybe we should arrest and detain any black person surfing the net for graphic porn.

You seem confused and scared.

Those forced into relocation camps included BOTH first generation Japanese, second and third generation Japanese-Americans.
It was a f’ed up thing to do, so much so that St Raygun issued a USA GOVERNMENT APOLOGY AND REPARATIONS.
But stupid f-ks like the one above think rounding up and caging people based on skin tone or religious beliefs is “good for them”
November 6th, 2009 at 2:20 pmWars of convenience are waged by the likes of Cheney and Bush. They’re not in office any more. Funny you believe that FDR “pushed” us into war though. Don’t know much about history do you?
November 6th, 2009 at 2:21 pm“Conservatives” think Reagan walked on water and automatically assume that Liberals all believe FDR did the same (or rolled on water). Since they elevate politicians to god-like status, they assume everyone else does the same thing.
Hey, troll, we’ve never had a perfect Democratic president. Nor, obviously, a perfect Republican.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:22 pmLondra, are you saying the FDR was responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor? Please provide some evidence to this if you are making such a claim.
Under FDR there was a sense of unified sacrifice for a common goal. metal drives, gas and meat rationing, the growth of unions are just some of the collective decisions this country made.
After we were attacked on 9/11 our leader wanted us to go shopping.

But you said you approved the Japanese Internment. Now you say it was racist. How does that work, exactly?
And maybe explain why locking up the Japanese kept America safe, but not locking up the extremely active potential saboteurs of German extraction didn’t seem to matter at all.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:33 pmI heard the attack was a result of the constant bullying Maj. Hasan was subjected to at the hands of his fellow soldiers because he’s Muslim (anyone remember Columbine?).
If Kilmeade is worried about the guy next to him, he should make sure it’s not a skinhead or Neo-Nazi. Or a Republican.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:34 pmThe 40 year old shooter was apprehended at his mother’s apartment. Maybe we should round up all immature idiots who still live with their mothers because they can’t handle the real world. Yeah, I’m talking to you TROLLS.

Yeah make a special screening for every group you dicheads can think of. Do you teabagger really

Excellent point. Especially in light of the Orlando tragedy.
The obvious solution is to mandate every American carry a semi automatic handgun, fully loaded and safety off, just in case some nutbag goes berserk.
No training or any of that ‘regulatory’ crap is needed, just have everyone blaze away at the slightest hint of danger.
That’ll do it.

We gotta stop trying to take the easy way out with labels and start looking at the real causes. We’re within sight of internment camps, folks…

Gretchen Carlson pondered whether the military had been “exercising political correctness in not approaching” Hasan “as seriously as they would have had he not been a Muslim.”
Gee I don’t know Gretchen, you embarrassment to Anoka, Minnesota, perhaps they use the same political correctness on Muslims as they do on Christians? I suppose you would have to do some research on that though you stupid bimbo and researching facts isn’t exactly Freaks & Fiends MO

Which “enemies” did you have in mind, stupid troll. Psychiatrists? Army officers? Army medical officers in Texas?
November 6th, 2009 at 4:56 pmRacism and bigotry on a morning cable news show. Reminiscent of Father Charles Coughlin, isn’t it?
November 6th, 2009 at 5:05 pmFar right religiologist Rick Scarborough is trying to tie the president to Hassan by saying that because Hassan attended a conference related to military affairs, he was an advisor to the president’s transition team. It is pitiful when a so-called christian stoops to the level of making false accusations and statements meant to smear a sitting president.

Fox and Friends suggested that “special debriefings” and “special screenings” of Muslim soldiers should be considered. “If I’m going to be sticking in an outpost, I got to know the guy next to me is not going to want to kill me,” said Brian Kilmeade.
I heard the attack was a result of the constant bullying Maj. Hasan was subjected to at the hands of his fellow soldiers because he’s Muslim (anyone remember Columbine?).
If Kilmeade is worried about the guy next to him, he should make sure it’s not a skinhead or Neo-Nazi. Or a Republican.

It’s highly unlikely that

Francheska Velez, 21
Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, 19
Pfc. Michael Pearson, 21
Spc. Jason Dean Hunt, 22
Sgt. Amy Krueger, 22
Russell Seager, age and rank unknown
and others
…
would have bullied a US Army Medical Officer, a Major. As I remember the Army, doctors enjoyed excellent status, and the only bullying of an officer would have come from a higher ranking officer.
Did the shooter completely lose any sense of justice and proportion?
November 6th, 2009 at 5:39 pmI might add that the stupid bimbos query if “political correctness” was somehow to blame, when all indications are that this sick freak was constantly harassed for being a Muslim, is downright insulting.
November 6th, 2009 at 5:41 pmNo one is suggesting that this act was direct revenge against specific people. Such shootings seldom are. Generally one will find that the shooter feels victimized by society as a whole, or some group, and takes out their rage on the best available targets.
On the other hand, every report I’ve seen has suggested that the shooter had been building to this for a long time.
November 6th, 2009 at 5:48 pmI just love that Republipimp Fux Noise chickenhawk crowd. Always ready with the old ‘guilt by association’ schtick while hypocritically moaning about how everyone else is dissing the constitution, etc.
This rotten business simply ought to be a wake-up call for everyone that it isn’t just being in the combat zone that is racheting up the pressure on our military personnel. The whole deployment-redeployment cycle along with it’s horror stories has to bleed out into the military population as a whole and the military mental health professionals are getting it right in the face day after day; it has to have a long term negative effect.
I would expect that Hasan’s superiors are aware of the effect, and they’ve just been made more aware in the most horrific way possible, short of a suicide bomb. The attitude in the military of sucking it up and moving on, while admirable, isn’t helpful in correcting the problem.
November 6th, 2009 at 7:27 pmThere sure is a lot of suffering caused by idiot muslims and idiot xtians. What a compassionate lot they are.
November 6th, 2009 at 10:08 pmBut, as both Raw Story and Media Matters have noted, later in the segment the hosts of Fox and Friends suggested that “special debriefings” and “special screenings” of Muslim soldiers should be considered. “If I’m going to be sticking in an outpost, I got to know the guy next to me is not going to want to kill me,” said Brian Kilmeade.
Then we need to screen the NON-Muslim soldiers, not the Muslim ones. Hasan didn’t go postal on the base because of his religion, he did it because the base was full of a$$holes and he couldn’t take it anymore. It’s classic payback-to-your-bully-torturers.

Fox and Friends are pathetic, as is anyone who agrees with them.
