Remember back when Montel Williams promoted his sleazy TV show the the slogan, “Montel brings people together?”
Well, apparently, he’s against bringing them together in internment camps. Especially if they’re Muslim.
Here’s an excerpt from his conversation with Frank Farley of Temple University:
Williams: We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps…The [anti-Muslim] rhetoric… could get out of hand. What do you think?
Farley: I agree totally… The possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. We should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous…
Williams: Even if it comes out… that his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn’t mean that the religion is to blame.
Farley: Absolutely, his interpretation [of Islam] may vary dramatically from [that of] his fellow Muslims.
Let us state very clearly that we are opposed to internment camps for Muslims.
On the other hand, interment camps for Air America hosts isn’t such a bad idea.
