Huckabee: Muslims Are ‘Uncorked Animals’ After Praying To Allah

Fox News host Mike Huckabee recently asserted that Muslims spend their holy day by praying at the Mosque and then acting “like uncorked animals.”

During his Monday radio show, Huckabee discussed the closing of U.S. embassies in the Middle East and said the he knew it was politically incorrect “to say anything unkind about Islam.”

“But can someone explain to me why it is that we tiptoe around a religion that promotes the most murderous mayhem on the planet in their so-called ‘holiest days’?” he asked. “You know, if you’ve kept up with the Middle East, you know that the most likely time to have an uprising of rock throwing and rioting comes on the day of prayer on Friday.”

“So the Muslims will go to the mosque, and they will have their day of prayer, and they come out of there like uncorked animals — throwing rocks and burning cars.”

How else do you explain why they vote as stupidly and unthinkingly as they do?

I believe it was kkkarl rove who once said, only half-joking, "too much education isn't necessarily a good thing." (Mainly because the more you know, the more likely you are to embrace liberal thinking, and NON-conservative candidates.

in the mirror feels himself throwing up in his mouth a little at the racist depths to which he will descend for the sake of a buck and ratings.

This is a guy for whom I used to feel a tiny bit of respect for his sense of humor and his understanding that the Bible was more than simply a few passages from Leviticus. But no longer. Now Huckabee seems no better than the rest of that racist, fascist lot.

I've known plenty of that type, the most disturbing thing about them being that most really are true believers - in private as well as in public. They are convinced that "following Jesus" means ranting about muslims, railing against "humma-sekshuls" and waving gory "abortion" pictures at children (the more tears the better).

Any opposition is, of course, proof they are being persecuted for their "faith."

They never suspect that the real reason most people steer well clear is that their "faith" is nothing more than a bizarre melange of paranoia, ignorance, rage, pseudo-science, martyr complexes - pretty much every base human emotion roundly condemned by real religion - whitewashed with a pseudo-theological coating.

Na, tell me again how...
Now, my point is — I mean do you ever say ‘Oh boy, it’s Christmas! Oh my gosh, these Christians are going to come out of that Christmas Eve service and they are going to Wal-Mart, and they are going to so rip that place apart, because you know what happens when they go in there and pray about Jesus.

A lot of folks who did not experience hate did not believe it was "still well alive " . Now with all these loudmouth assholes out there it is is out in the open for all to see.
IMO Fox will not make amends for this
It isn’t the first time that Huckabee has made derogatory comments about Muslims.
Just days after the Newtown shooting , Huckabee blamed the killings on a lack of religion in public school.
He is ill.

I've never witnessed one tirade from Huckabee without him violating one of the Ten Commandments, especially the one about judging others. Huckabee has made a fortune off of the religious right by misquoting the Bible or flat out violating it. Sadly, his target audience does not care if Huckabee adheres to Jesus' teachings. Their main attribute is hate and Huckabee exploits that very well.

or an important playoff game,” said Jerry M. Lewis, a professor emeritus of sociology at Kent State University and the author of the book, “Sports Fan Violence in North America.” “Why do they do it? It’s a way they identify with the victory. Fan violence becomes an act of sporting success. They can’t dunk a basketball, but they can be violent, which is a metaphor for athletic success.”

statements make me literally sick. Not only bigoted and un-Christ like they show no knowledge of Christian history. Many times in the past 2 millennia our religion has had purges and pogroms on Good Friday, Easter, and Christmas.

Huckabee needs to go back to a seminary that teaches such history before he speaks again.
