Berating Bob Kerrey for “spreading anti-Muslim slurs”, John spreads a nice one himself:

a “madrassa” … is code for “Islamic terrorist training camp”

I’m really appalled to see John Aravosis spouting this kind of demented right-wing garbage.

A madrassa is simply an Islamic religious school. Some of them may be schools in which little children are turned into fundamentalist Muslims. But every fundamentalist Muslim, dear John, is not an Islamic terrorist. At least, not in the eyes of most people who haven’t blindly bought into the hysterical (in both senses of the word) Islamofascist propaganda.

Not sure what he was thinking. But I sincerely hope that John apologizes by the end of the day.

(For the record, even Fox News — back in January when they were helping to spread the original Obama madrassa smear — stopped short of John’s hyperbole:

Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy pointed out that madrassas are “financed by Saudis” and “teach this Wahhabism which pretty much hates us”

Even Doocy stops at: all madrassas breed Wahhabi fundamentalists. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 = “A madrassa is an Islamic religious school” and 10 =” A madrassa is code for ‘Islamic terrorist training camp’”, I think Doocy’s statement probably qualifies as a 3. That’s how ashamed of himself I think John needs to be.)
