It's not up to you to determine the level of information to everyone else.
This is what drives me nuts. I'm usually an easy going guy. But when people get their panties n a wad because of something they can turn off, then what else are we to assume other than you want to control the free expression of information and/or opinion.
Finally an answer to my original question.
You are of the thought that when violence and hate are done, that the people spreading it should not be held accountable. Does not mean you agree with it just that you think they should not be held responsible.

And you truly do not know what is or is not a lie which is an intentional bid to deceive.

If in fact an American did this influenced by a reply to hat has happened in SB, etc., or even the media, they are adding fuel to the fire. That is exactly what this terror reign wants. It's fueling the deadly cycle.

Maybe they get "riled up" because muslim extremists have come into our country or are being radicalized by that dopey religion (extreme faction), and have killed their fellow Americans, and our so-called leader has yet to go to SB and condemn the radical Islamic terroists. I would think people that get angry about such things really don't need a news channel to rile them up.

Violence and hate? You just want to punish people for having an opinion that is different from yours.

Is the OP a joke? Surely he's not serious.
I'm with Xuenchen on this one. If not that, I wonder if they lost a loved one or a friend in that terrorist attack. I watch Fox as much as I do any other news station, and I have heard absolutely zero muslim-hating rhetoric. I have heard plenty of Islamic extremist hating, terror hating, but not muslim-hating. Maybe I missed it. Could someone post a link of muslim hating rhetoric?
I really want to believe that Islam is the religion of peace. I really do. But it’s hard to do when there is not overwhelming condemnation of the terrorist attacks from the majority of Muslims.
Where are the voices of the Muslims outraged that their faith has been hijacked? Where are the thousands of Muslims marching in the streets denouncing the terrorists? Where are they? Why have they chosen to remain silent?
The September 14 broadcast of Fox Business' Intelligence Report with Trish Regan nonetheless invited Morgan on to stoke fears about President Obama's decision to increase the number of refugees displaced by the Syrian civil war who can resettle in the United States. Morgan made a number of conspiratorial and bigoted claims about Muslims to criticize the plan, asserting, "This is not a humanitarian hand that President Obama is extending, it is an open door to an enemy invasion."
She went on to claim that -- "according to extensive research presented on Fox News" -- "81 percent of mosques in America are advancing or promoting violence" and argued that Islam should be "declassified as a religion and reclassified as a terrorist organization"
During the segment, host Trish Regan mentioned that Morgan has banned Muslims from her business, but said nothing critical about the policy, instead using it to bolster Morgan's credibility, asking her, "you have to worry about guns getting into the hands of the wrong people, so when you look at the idea of President Obama bringing 10,000 refugees in, many of whom could be extreme Muslims, that worries you, yes?"
Morgan finished her appearance by suggesting that Americans may have to use guns against the refugees: "In America, unlike the other countries who are taking these refugees, I thank God that we have our Second Amendment, and our citizens have a right to bear arms to defend life. So at least we have that edge."
KILMEADE: So, we have the rise of ISIS, we have Al Qaeda. We know that Bin Laden targeted us in 2001. We weren't bombing him. But yet in 2014, look at how the breakdown goes when it comes it hate crimes. 59 percent of the hate crimes, anti-Semitic. 14 percent anti-Islamic. Important. Look at the difference. 14 percent anti-Islamic. 6 percent anti-Catholic and 2.5 percent, 17 percent but 2.5 Protestant and other anti-Protestant. So, if you see those stats, why is the president including it in his speech?
HAJJAR: That's a great question to ask. You know, they've been creating, as I said, this victimhood status for Muslims for, you know, in conjunction with the Council of the American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslims groups such as Muslim Student Association, the Islamic Circle of North America, to really divert attention from what's going on. It's not been happening. And Islamophobia is really nothing but a myth. And you don't see the press calling for inquiries or the FBI calling for inquiries into anti-Semitic crimes, yet CAIR has been outspoken and they've really driven that point and they've succeeded. You know, in the Muslim community it's very, there's a lot of diversity. And people say that it's racist, Islamophobia is racist. Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam is not a race, it's a religion. And Muslims come to this country from over 50 countries, from West Africa all the way from the Middle East and into East Asia.

For me, I would like people to be held accountable for their lies and propaganda if it results in acts of terror and yes that goes for ISIS. If someone spreads hate, like westboro and KKK and nothing really comes from it than of course they should not be punished for words.

Our government better get a handle on radicals in this country, the ones that have infiltrated and the ones that are being radicalized. It is not the pundits telling us this, it is our very own intelligence officials telling us. We are investigating more that 1000 ISIS related cases in our country.

I guess the same questions can be asked when Muslim-Americans gun down 30 innocent people at a conference room in San Bernardino, CA.
Asked of who? What are the American media outlets and who are the politicians who are spreading abject hatred and fear of non-Muslims?
Pretending to not see that something exists does not mean it doesn't exist.
If you have not seen the propaganda being spread then where do you live, under a rock?
