Anyone hear Tucker Carlson refer to Islam as a violent religion?

[Maraya1969]

Referring to the Pope's visit to Turkey he just (paraphrasing the first part) "The people in Turkey are protesting the Pope's visit because the Pope refereed to Islam as brace yourself a violent country.

I heard a sarcastic affirmation of Tucker saying the religion of Islam is inherently violent.


EDIT for clarity

1. This from someone who dresses like Junior from Problem Child

2. Isn't that standard for his ilk?

3. Saying something like that is exactly why the people are mad and protesting in the streets!!

We know for sure now that Carlson is a bigot. The Pope has rethought his words and is trying to make amends and this clown just affirms what he said in the first place.

Can you imagine if someone made that type of comment about the snafu that Michael Richards said?

5. The Crusades? You mean you had to pull that chestnut

out after 600+ years to make a point? :nopity:

7. Well, there's the war in Iraq.

If you want a more recent example of Christians slaughtering Muslims.

6. Creating controversy

to pull in viewers.

The responsibility inherent in free speech is expressed as ratings and profit.

8. i guess he forgot all about the crusades, the inquisition, burning witches,

the pogroms, and nazi germany for starters, when picking a violent religion. and i guess we need to add george bush to the christian espousing war mongers list.
