Surely the MSM wouldn’t manufacture news ….. HA!

It seems that NBC is working on a special to expose the racism of red state Americans.

There are several things that are absolutely hilarious about this. One is that the email sent out to recruit muslims to dress up with turbans and mix and mingle with NASCAR fans seems to confuse muslims and Sikhs. Since they are so enlightened, one would think they would know the difference.

Another aspect of this entire project is that the producers apparently think they have a really good chance of finding racists among NASCAR fans. What have they got against NASCAR fans? Isn’t that stereotyping?

Yet another is the manufacturing of the news. Expose the Left points to a previous incident of manufacturing news that left NBC a little red faced.

And what does a it take to ‘look Muslim’? I thought we weren’t supposed to ‘profile’? Look Muslim. Well, we know what the stereotype is, but we might need to help educate NBC and let them know that Islam is a RELIGION not a nation.

Here’s the email (h/t to Expose the Left)

Salam,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I have been talking with a producer of the NBC Dateline show and he is in the process of filming a piece on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination in the USA. They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any
discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed.

They recently taped two turbaned Sikh men attending a football game in Arizona to see how people would treat them. They set them up with hidden microphones and cameras, etc.

They want to do the same thing 2 or 3 other times (in various parts of the USA) with one or two Muslim men in each setting. They are looking for men who actually “look Muslim”. They want a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap during the filming.

They also want someone who is fairly well accomplished and has contributed to American society at large in some meaningful way.

That said, I’m urgently looking for someone who can be filmed this April 1st weekend at a Nascar event (and other smaller events) in Virginia. NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses. The filming would take place all day on Saturday and Sunday.

We already have a hijabi sister who will be filmed there but a Muslim is also needed to join her. I also need candidates for the other filming segments which will take place in the following weeks.

A few weeks later, NBC will fly all the filmed participants to New York City to interview them as a group about their experience and thoughts on discrimination they’ve faced in America, especially in light of the times we live in (war on terror, 9-11, etc.). The show, if approved by NBC (highly likely), is expected to air sometime this summer.

What I need from interested candidates is an email with an attached clear photograph, a resume, and contact information. I also need basic information such as age, ethnic background, accomplishments, etc.

The sooner I can get this the better and please don’t make emails too long. I will then submit a group of candidates to NBC so they can choose the people for the show.

Please forward this to all Muslim lists you can. Because of the upcoming filming in Virginia, this is pretty time-sensitive. My contact information is below.

Salam,

I frankly think this is a sad commentary on the state of our country. The enemy within is alive and well.
