Fox hosts want ’special screenings’ for Muslims in military
Source: The Raw Story

In the wake of a shooting rampage at Fort Hood by a military psychiatrist of Middle Eastern lineage, the hosts at Fox News have begun suggesting that all Muslims in the military should be treated as potential threats.

"Do you think it's time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers -- anybody enlisted?" Fox's Brian Kilmeade asked Geraldo Rivera on Friday morning. "Because if I'm going to be deployed in a foxhole, 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."


Rivera pivoted. "But isn't this the headline, Brian, that there are four or five million American Muslims and how scant and few and far between these horrifying incidents are?"

"I've been in Afghanistan with these guys," Rivera continued, "in Iraq with these guys. They are treasured for their bilingualism, their multiculturalism, the fact that they can bridge and understand and translate for us."

Fox's Gretchen Carlson, however, joined the bandwagon. "Our society has become very politically correct," she objected. "Could it be that the military was also exercising political correctness, even though he had a poor performance report and even though he spoke openly about being a radical Muslim and had those supposed postings online?"

16. +1 to infinity and beyond.
First it was gays and lesbians...next, it'll be Muslims...then, Jews...next, all people of color...and finally, women. Then the nutbags will have the all-white, all-male, all-poor military they dream of, to expend for any whim which they can concoct.

Today, the armed forces; tomorrow, the world!

6. No. They're itching to slaughter Muslims and that's a good thing.
Typical FoxNews bigotry.

4. What about screenings for batshit crazy generals who believe they're fighting against SATAN?
No, not the metaphorical "Great Satan" that some of the Muslims talk about.

The literal dude in the red suit with horns and a pitchfork Satan -----> :evilgrin:

7. Or batshit crazy POTUS's who think they're commanding a holy war?
I guess the moral of the story is that as long as they want to kill brown people, it's okay.

8. IMO everyone who is issued a firearm should be screened.
And obviously all soldiers should be screened for mental issues, I'm honestly shocked that they apparently aren't.

9. "Our society has become very politically correct,"

From a bullshit network selling nothing but INCORRECT. From people that believe hate crime legislation impinges on their freedom of religion. sickening.

11. First step towards removing all Muslims from the military...just like GLBTers.
Faux News really takes "moran" to a whole new level.

"Do you think it's time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers -- anybody enlisted?" Fox's Brian Kilmeade asked Geraldo Rivera on Friday morning. "Because if I'm going to be deployed in a foxhole, 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."

Of course, when gays in the military are discussed, Douchenozzle Kilmeade just has to substitute "fuck" in place of "kill"... :eyes:

12. Good!
Then we can get "special screanings" for Christians that live anywhere near a Planned Parenthood Clinic because there has been a lot more domestic terrorism out of their ilk than Muslims recently.

:sarcasm: Jack-asses, the whole Fox Noise crew, blonds with no brain cells included.

15. I mean, really, they likely wanted it before yesterday, didn't they?
I'm surprised they aren't calling for Muslims to be stripped of their citizenship.
