Texas news program accused of pushing Islamophobia during segment
A segmant aired by an Odessa, Texas, news program was the subject of sharp criticism online Friday after some viewers accused the newscast of promoting"Islamophobia" and anti-Muslim biases.
"Many in the audience were surprised with their personal accounts of how Muslim immigration is impacting them and changing the landscape of their country," the KOSA reporter said about the event."Hopkins said she was the target of a Jihadist plot to behead her after speaking out about how the country's accommodation has citizens coming under fire for the things they speak in public and online and believe, in general.
Within Breland's thread, he noted that Sabaditsch-Wolff"was convicted of hate speech in Austria in 2011, which CBS7 doesn't ever think to mention." He also shared a link to the March 25 event's Eventbrite listing, which claimed that"Jews and Christians have been forced out of beloved areas" and "Halal food is being served in public schools."
