. . . He partially blames it on the economy and those who he deems to be politically disenfranchised (seriously, that could describe most of the United States). But Mohyeldin goes even further and decides that it’s the actions of the United States military in foreign countries that are to blame for Islamic extremism. What this ‘journalist’ hasn’t seemed to study is the history of Islamic Jihadism. Islamic Jihadism has been occurring for centuries; long before the United States was even a thought in anyone’s mind. Yet somehow that historical fact seems to delude the delusional tin foil hat wearer. The segment began with the NBC reporter highlighting how America’s Muslim leaders are working with the local community to assimilate “a constant stream of new immigrants” entering the United States. After detailing how American Muslims assimilate at higher rates than their European counterparts, Mohyeldin insisted that U.S. actions have contributed to radicalism: For some, radicalization and attacks against the U.S. stems from anger at American foreign policies and wars in the Middle East. While the overwhelming majority of Muslims have successfully assimilated and integrated into U.S. society, the challenge remains to find individuals who may be on the fringes of the communities and are also alienated. The NBC reporter then turned to Muslim activist Kassem Allie to blame anti-Muslim attitudes in America for the rise of extremism: Whether it’s the internet or television, this Islamophobia that has been going on for the last several years has been — has hurt. It has really hurt. The segment concluded with Mohyeldin claiming that the true victims of terrorism is the Muslim community and how “with every attack carried out around the world, it’s the Muslim community that feels the blowback.”
