Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly has been on an Islamophobic tear lately. O’Reilly initially took heat for saying that “Muslims attacked us on 9/11″ and he has since defended that claim, saying that “there is a Muslim problem in the world.” After receiving criticism for that statement, O’Reilly defended himself again, claiming that there is a “Muslim problem” because “good” Muslims don’t combat extremism — a point radio host Don Imus told O’Reilly was not “accurate.”
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) seems to have picked up on O’Reilly’s spurious reasoning, telling Imus yesterday that leaders in the Muslim community “do not cooperate”:
KING: It’s not just people who are involved with the terrorists and extremists,it is people who are in mainstream Islam, leaders of mosques, leaders of Muslim organizations who do not come forward and denounce, officially denounce, officially cooperate with the police against those extremists and terrorists. So, it goes beyond the terrorists and the extremists and also includes those in what others call mainstream Muslim leadership.
Watch it:

Was not there anyone to walk this man through the history of terrorism in Islamic world, especially the Al-Qaeda and Taliban setups. Both were the creation of the US strategists. Usama was morally equated to the US founding father, George Washington, not by Muslims or Muslim leaders, but by the US president Reagan himself. He has been the master mind for CIA to encounter the Russians there. Taliban, this particular mindset was created by a particular madrasa curriculum developed at University of Nabraska funded by USAID. It was Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinski the US National Security Advisor for President Reagan who made the first extremist speech to the tribal people of Pakistan and Afghanistan and urge them to wage the holy war against the infidels, the Russians. He was the one who very proudly announced God is at your side, your cause is right and God will help you win.
So what can the Muslims do for this crack-pot?
