46 examples of Muslim outrage about Paris shooting that Fox News can’t seem to find
Katie Halper * 08 JAN 2015 AT 16:00 ET * Raw Story

Every time an extremist who is Muslim commits an act of terrorism, people ask where the moderate Muslim voices condemning violence are. (Interestingly, as a Jew, I don’t usually get asked to condemn extremism when it is perpetuated by Jewish fundamentalists like Baruch Goldstein, who shot 29 praying Muslims do death, and injured 125, at the Cave of the Patriarchs, or Yigal Amir, who killed Israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak Rabin.) And the same thing is happening following this week’s deplorable, pathetic, and tragic killing of 12 people at the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

Not surprisingly, much of the “where is the Muslim outrage” outrage is coming from… Fox News, as Media Matters notes. Fox’s own Monica Crowley, for example, said that Muslims “should be condemning” the attack and that she hadn’t “heard any condemnation… from any groups.” Fox News’ America’s Newsroom guest Steve Emerson complained, “you don’t see denunciations of radical Islam, by name, by mainstream Islamic groups.” Bob Beckel, a host of Fox News’ The Five host said Muslims were “being quiet” about the shooting and accused the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of keeping “their mouth shut when things happen.”

To be fair, it’s not all Fox News. Here’s CNN’s Don “why didn’t you just bite Bill Cosby’s penis” Lemon asking Arsalan Iftikhar, a Human Rights attorney and the founder of The Muslim Guy website, “Do you support ISIS?” on Wednesday.

So, allow me to do some of the legwork for the media… And present examples of Muslim outrage about the Paris shooting.

Let’s start with organizations, like CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has, according to Fox, kept its mouth shut. Somehow they managed to get out this statement.

1. Invisible Muslims also protest ISIS

[Johonny]

6. Protest? They are actually actively fighting against ISIS in combat.

8. Stand in front of walmart and find out how many people know that.

2. Kick for the evening crowd to read n/t

[MattSh]

3. No surprise...

This is the same media that, even after 100,000 or 1 million photos and minutes of video, still can't find Nazis in Ukraine.

They're paid not to find them...

[Douglas Carpenter]

4. not just Fox News but a lot of phony-baloney "liberals" here on DU

[HappyMe]

7. No kidding.

I had to scroll back up to the top to make sure I was at DU after reading some comments.

[Fred Sanders]

5. If America is not full of stupid people then who is CNN targeting with all the stupidity?

[Nye Bevan]

9. Strange. It took me seconds to find #2 of those 46 examples on Fox News.

A 5 minute Fox News video clip where Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA Spokesperson Qasim Rashid condemns the Paris attacks.

Makes me wonder whether the author of the linked article actually looked for these stories on Fox News or just assumed that they were not there.

[99th_Monkey]

10. Or

FOX news saw the same article and had to 'prove' they weren't being totally stupid.

[Nye Bevan]

11. And falsified the date of this feature as January 7.

The rawstory article was dated January 8.

[99th_Monkey]

15. Oh, OK. You totally got me.

FOX accidentally covers ONE of 46 instances where Muslims denounced the Paris terrorist attack.

45 to go.

What's your point again?

That FOX "gets it right"?

[Nye Bevan]

16. If it makes you feel better, I am not going to check all of the 46.

I really just wanted to see whether the rawstory article had been properly researched. And since I was able to debunk it with a 30-second Google search, obviously it was not.

[99th_Monkey]

17. Your "debunking" falls a bit short

ONE down, 45 to go ... still waiting.

Aren't you at least a little embarrassed to be a shill for FOX on DU?

[Nye Bevan]

18. Actually, I take it back. You are right.

It simply is beyond all belief that Fox News did not cover the statements condemning the attacks made by Asma, Mohammed Al-Binateej and Sabina. There is simply no excuse for not covering the reaction of such prominent people, and indeed, every other news outlet rightly placed these reactions front and center.

[pampango]

12. I'm sure the French National Front and every other right wing anti-immigrant group can't find them

either. If you don't want to find them, you can't find them.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

13. They have sold their soul to hell

“These are criminals, barbarians. They have sold their soul to hell. This is not freedom. This is not Islam and I hope the French will come out united at the end of this.”

Hassen Chalghoumi, imam of the Drancy mosque

14. what a relief.
