via MMFA: Fox News Contributor Crowder: “A High Percentage“ Of Muslims “Hate Christians And Jews“; “ The Real Problem Is The Quran“

Fox News contributor Steven Crowder continued Fox News’ pattern of inciting intolerance against Islam, accusing a “high percentage” of Muslims of “hat[ing] Christians and Jews” and saying that “the real problem is the Quran.”

Crowder made his comments on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. Hannity aired a clip from a French news program in which an Egyptian official affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood declined to answer questions from Israeli journalists. Crowder reacted to the clip by saying, “Well, I mean, what it really comes down to is, a Muslim here, not too fond of the Jewish people. I’m not shocked. Then again, I’ve actually read the Quran. … I’m not saying all Muslims hate Christians and Jews. But there’s a high percentage, and it’s because of the Quran, if you’ve read it.”

When fellow Fox News contributor Pat Caddell responded, “Let’s stay with the real problem,” Crowder replied, “That is the real problem. The real problem is the Quran.”

Later Hannity tried to clarify, saying, “This is important for Steve. Because people are going to hear you say the problem is the Quran. Do you make a distinction between Islam and radical Islam? Those that believe that in sharia, jihad, holy war, infidels.”

Some of Crowder’s other inflammatory statements:

• Fox’s Crowder: Obama “Should Go Back To Burning The Taxpayer-Funded Incense To Whatever Pagan, Foreign Deity He’s Worshipping”
• Crowder On Rachel Maddow: “Everyone Needs A Baritone To Bring Down The Choir”
• Fox contributor Crowder: “I don’t think there’s really anything wrong as far as racial profiling, stopping people who are coming in illegally”
