Zaid Jilani, Think Progress.org joins Thom. Want to know where Islamophobia is coming from? - look no further than Fox so-called News. The Brookings Institute just released a new report - charting Americans’ views toward Islam based on their political views and where they get their news. Turns out - those who identify themselves as Republicans, Tea Partiers, or Fox so-called News viewers fear Muslims the most. 52% of Fox viewers believe Muslims want to establish Sharia law in America - compared to just 20% who watch CNN, and 29% who watch MSNBC Also - 60% of Fox viewers believe Islam is not an important part of the America religious community - again far more than CNN and MSNBC. And a whopping 68% of Fox viewers think the religion of Islam are at odds with the values of America - far more than the 37% of CNN viewers and the 39% of MSNBC viewers. Of course - considering what comes across the Fox so-called News airwaives on a daily basis - this report shouldn't come as too big of a surprise

1. The biggest threat to the West

from Islam, I would argue, is not related to violence....it is through the fourth pillar of Islam 'charity' which is concerned with health and education and the welfare of humanity and has embedded within it the notion of interdependence...

This is a direct assault on CAPITALISM and its emphasis on the power of the individual.
