The founder of an organization for Muslim Republicans swiftly shut down Fox News host Megyn Kelly for suggesting mosques are “hotbeds for political activity” during a panel interview Tuesday night.
Kelly asked Saba Ahmed, founder of the Republican Muslim Coalition, to respond to research from “experts” that shows “the mosques tend to be hotbeds for political activity, not as much religious activity.”
“Megyn, we go to the mosque to pray,” Ahmed, clad in a red, white, and blue hijab, calmly responded.
She continued: “The mosque has nothing to do with the terrorists. Yes, there are people who misuse religion for their perverted ideology, but that has nothing to do with my faith.”
After Ahmed suggested that Donald Trump, who has suggested shuttering mosques as an anti-terror strategy, visit at local mosque rather than “alienate” Muslim voters, Trump 2016 spokeswoman Katrina Person responded that “it’s not about alienation.”
“You have to investigate and you have to implement due process. If it’s one person fine, but if it’s the entire mosque it needs to be shut down,” Pierson responded.

Ms. Kelly isn’t stupid. Why would she take that angle? If FOX helps put the USA in the wrong place on this very important issue it will be “mission accomplished” for Murdoch…the Manchurian Journalist. He will achieved what ISIS and Al Q could not…the destruction of America’s future.
I used to think that ladies’ rooms had all kinds of weird stuff going on in there. Megyn thinks the same way about a place she knows nothing about.
Ha! I love her! The flag hijab is an instant classic and such a fantastic FUCK YOU to these racist twits.
OH OH the hypocrites will start in 3,2,1 to criticize the flag worn as a Hijab but won’t say a word to those who where flag underwear…
