INCITEMENT WATCH: O'REILLY COMPARES QURAN TO "MEIN KAMPF"

THE O'REILLY FACTOR
http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/index.html
July 10, 2002 Wednesday
HEADLINE: Impact Interview With Robert Kirkpatrick
GUESTS: Robert Kirkpatrick
HOST: Bill O'Reilly

O'REILLY: In the "Impact" segment tonight, an unbelievable situation at the
University of North Carolina. Each incoming freshman this fall will be
required to read a book that explains portions of the Koran. Joining us now
from Raleigh, North Carolina, is Dr. Robert Kirkpatrick, who selected the
rea`ing. "The Early, Approaching the Koran, The Early Revelations," is the
book, I guess, professor.

Boy, you're causing all kinds of trouble down there. This is pretty
controversial, is it? Why'd you choose it?

ROBERT KIRKPATRICK, PH.D., ENGLISH PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH
CAROLINA-CHAPEL HILL: Yes, it is. Well, I think it's the kind of book that
after 9/11, we need to know more about...

O'REILLY: I'm for academic freedom. I want all the students in universities
and colleges across the country to be as well versed as possible. But I
don't know what this serves to take a look at our enemy's religion. See? I
mean, I wouldn't give people a book during World War II on the emperor is
God in Japan, would you?...

If I were going to UNC in 1941, and you, professor, said, Read "Mein
Kampf," [Hitler's political manifesto] I would have said, Hey, professor,
with all due respect, shove it. I ain't reading it...

I got the same email and though I'm never surprised at the ignorant and foolish comments of Mr. OReilly.  In my opinion his show and his views are a joke, but the scary thing is there are people in this world (and especially in this country) who think just like him.  The best thing we can do is to flood his email with our thoughts.  Always remain respectful (to a point) but let him be aware of his arrogance and ignorance.
