Fox News star Joey Jones challenged anyone to call him “Islamophobic,” saying it will not stop him from speaking up when he believes Muslims are engaged in terrorism or anti-American extremism.
Jones dared those who would be upset by his comments to reach out to him directly, during a segment on The Big Weekend Show on Saturday.
The panel was discussing the FBI thwarting a potential terror attack in Michigan on Halloween, where the suspects were connected to ISIS. They were also talking about residents of Dearborn, the first Arab-majority American city, being annoyed by the loud Muslim call to prayer, as well as Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud recently branding a constituent an “Islamophobe” because the citizen had the audacity to question why a local street was named in honor of a terrorist sympathizer.
“Listen, come at me in my email. I don’t really care,” Jones started off by saying.
He continued:
“When I hear that prayer over that loud speaker, I go to a very specific place, and it includes people that want to kill our country, that want to kill us, that want to use children for weapons, that want to indoctrinate people.
“Islamism as terrorism is a thing. What happened on 9/11 happened in the name of Islam, in the name of spreading a specific religion around the world, in a crusade of their own.
“Does that mean I’m Islamophobic? I really don’t care if that label gets put on me or not.”
Jones immediately added he does not believe “everyone who is Muslim is bad or hates America.” But he said when he sees “expressions of death to America” and hears the blaring call to prayer he has to ask “How in the world did that happen?”
Co-host Tomi Lahren, a moment later, said she was 100% with Jones.
Lahren said the recent headlines shined a light on the issue of “mass immigration,” both legal and illegal.
“There are a lot of these individuals, by the way, who are not illegal immigrants, they are legal immigrants, or they’ve been given asylum by the previous administration,” Lahren said. “And once they’ve been given that asylum, it becomes so much more difficult to get some of these people out, even if they do have ties and connections to things that look a lot like terrorism.”
She added: “I’m with Joey, if you want to call us Islamophobic for it, have at it!”
Fox News Contributor Kaylee McGhee White, when she kicked off the segment a moment earlier, said she grew up about 25 minutes away from Dearborn. She said many local residents are “rightly nervous” about their community turning into a “hotbed for extremism.”
