Fox News haven’t got the best reputation for unbiased news reporting.

In a recent segment on Megyn Kelly’s “The Kelly File”, Donald Trump’s spokeswoman Katrina Pierson was invited on air to defend Trump’s comments. He said recently that all mosques in the Us should be shut down as they are “hotbeds” for political and terrorist activity.

Opposing the argument was Saba Ahmed, founder of the Republican Muslim Coalition (which is pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-traditional family values, pro-defence, pro-trade, pro-business).

When host Megyn expresses that we should all have the right to free speech and religion, Pierson exclaims “we don’t have the right to plot terrorism and kill Americans”. Furthermore, lists convicted muslims including the Boston Marathon bombers.

Saba calming reminds the host and Pierson that she goes to mosque and pray. She says “you wouldn’t shut down a church because one or two Christians were behaving badly” and follows with “there are people who misuse religion for their own perverted ideology, but that has nothing to do with my faith”.
