Daily Show: FOX "News" and the Muslim World

When so many people were up in arms over a mosque being built 2-1/2 blocks from "Ground Zero," I was confused. I'm not religious at all, and find mosques no more or less offensive than I find churches or synogogues.  I'm indifferent toward them, unless they try to impose the beliefs that should remain within their walls into government and law. Then I start to get pissed off. But conservatives (by and large) and entities like FOX "News" are inconsistent in their objections to religious buildings and even religious intrusion into law. Muslim? Evil! Christianity? Why, we're a Christian nation!  Jewish? Ummmm, well, we'll say we're "Judeo-Christian" since we need Israel to get obliterated when Jeebus gets back! 

Jon Stewart had a great bit about this phenomenon last night, skewering FOX "News," and even ABC News' Dianne Sawyer. . .
