MSNBC host Joy Reid has been shredded as an Islamophobe by US Rep. Ilhan Omar and other progressives after comparing the president’s supposed “radicalization” of young supporters to “the way Muslims act.”


“Leaders, let's say in the Muslim world, talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence... in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy,” Reid mused on her new show, ‘The ReidOut,’ on Monday night. “They are radicalizing those people, particularly when they’re radicalizing young people. That’s how we talk about the way Muslims act.”



When you see what Donald Trump is doing, is that any different from what we describe as radicalizing people?

The segment, which was filmed with a panel of three guests, soon triggered a backlash online, prompting Congresswoman Ilhan Ohar (D-Minnesota) to slam Reid for “casual Islamophobia,” calling her comments “hurtful and dangerous.” Several other commenters also weighed in with similar condemnation.
