Fox's Carlson To Muslim Cleric: Have You Committed Acts Of Terrorism?
Memo to any Muslim cleric being interviewed by Gretchen Carlson: Prepare to be asked if you are associated with terrorism.

On Fox and Friends this morning, the co-host had a contentious interview with Anjem Choudary, the head of the controversial UK-based Islamic group Al-Muhajiroun, who is planning a March 3 protest outside the White House to call for the establishment of Sharia law in America. And it reached a boiling point when Carlson asked Choudary if, given his background, he would even qualify for entry into the United States.

"Do you actually believe you can get into this country, " she asked. "Will you be able to fill out the application accurately when you're asked these questions, because the tourist visa requires you to answer these questions: Have you been involved in acts of terrorism or plan to commit crimes in the United States?"

Choudary swiftly denied.

1. My immediate response
"I couldn't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet my paycheck against yours that it's fewer than you have." Then sit back and wait for security to escort me off the set.

2. This smells like a setup.
Really a Muslim Cleric who wants to impose Sharia Law on the U.S. appears on Fox news? The guy is either a looney or a fake.

3. Am I wrong to wonder if Fox is sponsoring his visit?
We've had no Muslims in the U.S. calling for Sharia law here, but Oklahoma passed a law banning it and other states are considering similar bans.

Suddenly, a foreign Muslim cleric pops up demanding sharia in America, and he wants to tour the U.S. to talk about it. I can't help wondering how much that cost, and who is paying him.

4. He should have asked Carlson if she was in the Klan.
And could she prove it.
