CNN host to first-ever Muslim congressman:Prove to me that you're not working with our enemies."
"I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.' " Beck added: "I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way."

1. People of any faith - or sense - must find this offensive.
The Muslims I know are more Red, White and Blue than I. They're THRILLED to be in this country.

2. Just because he's a Muslim?
I hope this makes Media Matters, it will be a good medium through which this can be sent all over the world.

3. I heard the audio on Air America
and could NOT believe my ears.
So, because he's not a christian he is supposed to prove he's not working for the enemy?

CNN is like the state run media in "V is for Vendetta"

8. If this is the standard of CNN journalism,
then they should ask Bush the same question, based on his terroristic behavior.

9. "I think a lot of Americans will feel that way."
Yes, Glenn. This country has quite a few delusional, paranoid individuals who believe every Muslim is a terrorist until proven otherwise.

13. I want to know that he isn't working with our enemies either.
Regardless of any superficial claims of "bipartisanship" (we all know what that means), Bush was and still is a danger. I am elated with the results from last week, but it would be nice to hear all the new members of Congress declare their unwillingness to work with the Shrub - it would reassure me that none of them were "terrist sympathizers".
