ISLAMOPHOBIC INDIVIDUALS: Steven Crowder

Steven Crowder

StevenCrowder

Crowder is a Fox News commentator. In 2012, Media Matters for America collected a number of examples of factually questionable assertions about Muslims made on Fox News. Included on the list was a quote by Crowder from June 2012, alleging that a “high percentage” of Muslims “hate Jews and Christians.” According to Crowder, “the real problem is the Quran.”
