CNN: by Dean Obeidallah –
I still hold out hope that one day Fox News will invite more American Muslims on its network so that their audience can hear from Muslims first hand. My concern, though, is that day will only come when Fox News has moved on to demonizing another minority group for ratings.
Fox News’ Bob Beckel believes that I, as an American-Muslim, should have fewer constitutional rights simply because of my religious faith.
Beckel, the so-called “liberal” on Fox News, made this point on his show this week while discussing the horrific terror attack on the Kenyan shopping mall. Beckel opined that Muslims should not be allowed to build any more houses of worship in America, “until you stand up and denounce what’s happened in the name of your prophet.”
Sorry Bob, you’re dead wrong. If you would take a moment to read our amazing U.S. Constitution, you would perhaps understand the rights we are all guaranteed as Americans, such as freedom of religion.
