Michelle Malkin is reporting that Dateline NBC is trying to get anti-Muslim reaction from—- NASCAR fans. And who would those fans be? Red state conservative Republicans. Malkin got a hold of the following e-mail that she was tipped off with:
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,
Tarek El-Messidi
If you remember, last year NBC correspondent Michelle Kosiniki was canoeing in what appeared to be deep water when two men walked by her. That video is located here.
UPDATE: In the Bullpen notes the oxymoron between Muslim and Sikhs.

I don’t even see the word republican mentioned in this. Are you stereotyping all NASCAR and sports fans as republicans? Also, everyone knows that NASCAR fans are pretty much all idiots (what kind of a moron likes watching a car go round and round a track, unless they are like 5 years old or a chimp)...so wouldn’t they be democrats? Ooooh, got you on that one.

Nobody is trying to paint anyone as racists. If ignorant people are willing to paint themselves as racists, that’s their choice. I have nothing against being able to see though a hidden camera how American muslims are treated at all-American events.

Thanks for exposing this stunt. Yes once again the media is trying to manipulate the news – it’s called propaganda. I guess that’s the new media – create the story.

All NASCAR fans are Republicans and are therfore racists, and anyone who denies it is a racists just like the site owner

First; Tarek El-Messidi

Second: On planet moonbat the liberals during the cold war would have called anyone who fought USSR communist a racist.
Third: NBC is trying to paint muslims as victims. Anyone here remember 9-11, the Cole, the African embassies, the burning of Paris, the Muhamhead cartoon riots, the islamic call that calls for our conversion, death or dhimmitued? I could go on but the rational humans get the point.
If you democraps want to defend a so called religion that was founded by a common thief, pedophile, terrorist, go for it. Then while you are at it how about defending the koran called for murder of anyone (including a husband’s wife) who leaves islam!
The word is Dhimmitude and it is part of Sharia law. If you don’t know a surah from a hadith then don’t bother replying.
NASCAR aside, the rest of us have had it with the muslim killers for the desert moon god allah, with its 3,000 victims in one day alone.
And you are pathetic enough to call the people that despise the followers of this killer cult rednecks? How stupid can you be.
Today’s NBC would have done a show during WWII painting Nazis as victims.
That folks is what you call the 5th column.

Great work. Your really living up to your site title.
Do they plan to send a guy with a Jewish kippa to a Nation of Islam event? If they do, as Alan Funt used to say on Candid Camera “Watch the fun and the frolic.”

LOL
Why would you be against this? BECAUSE YOU ARE RACIST!
If they do this project and they actually find people saying racist things, acting terribly, etc…why would you have a problem with that?
Yet another attempt by the right, and this site owner to take an issue about race and turn it into something else (in this case, about how liberal the media is…yawn), and scream “race card” loudly.
If the media exposes racism, then they ARE DOING THEIR JOB. The defenses of racist thinking and acting on this site are truly remarkable.

They don’t go around in a circle. They go straight, then turn left. Go straight, then turn left. Geez!
I loves me some NASCAR.

here’s an idea for a show…let’s put a hidden camera on a Christian Peace activist and let them walk the streets of Mosul. I wonder if we’ll get any amusing footage. Or we’ll put a hidden camera on a young white girl and ask her to walk around the Bronx for a few hours. That should be a hoot. Once she is mugged, raped, and killed….that will prove that ALL blacks are racist…right? Either way…it’s gotta be better than American Idol.

This is not reporting the news! This is deliberately trying to incite racist reactions for financial and political gain.
If there were more than a few reported incidents of racist attitudes at a NASCAR events, then perhaps it could be justified. But when they deliberately try to incite racist reactions, this is manipulating the news, not reporting. It is further evidence of the extreme liberal bias of the MSM

NBC Project to Project Americans as Racists…
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 rec…

I can understand the need to expose racism, and IN THEORY what they’re doing is a good idea.
HOWEVER, I’d be willing to bet the actual execution is going to be a little flawed. As in, they’ll edit out any footage that won’t support what they’re trying to do (like, say, the people who treat the muslims like equal human beings and fellow Americans).
As for the drastic alternatives being proposed [undoubtedly jokingly] by the others: you’d be surprised, a few of those might actually be done in the future.
Hell, couple of years ago the FBI had a black officer infiltrate a KKK branch that was being started in Colorado (and did so successfully, I might add).

Oboy! Oboy!
I can’t WAIT for them to pick up a Redneck and put him in the middle of a big urban Mosque just to see if anyone says anything or if he gets funny looks…
...you know, just to be fair and balanced…
...er…wait…that’s not gonna happen is it??

IceRigger: is that a real email address and where did you get it? Why was it, along with the headers, cut off of hte alleged email?

.....he (or she, what the hell do I know shrug) wasn’t trying to pass off his post as an email, he (again; or she) just posted comments and the actual email address of Tarek El-Messidi.

let’s use some good old fashioned conservative logic on this one…if you aren’t racist, then what do you have to worry about! hahaha, sounds pretty silly know, doesn’t it?
and how does having muslims attend a NASCAR event incite racism unless the fans are already predisposed to racism? i’m not claiming they are, but you are implying that with your claim.

Uhhh ok, maybe you never heard of editing have you never seen a Michael Moore film?

maybe you trust the MSM to edit the video to get the reaction they WANT.

yeah, because everytime someone points out racism in this country it’s because white people were set up…/sarcasm
it’s rather convenient to blame a hidden camera report before it’s even appeared just b/c it MIGHT show something you’d rather the rest of us not see.

Sounds familiar . . . wonder why . . . OH, NOW I KNOW! People like you do it all the time, saying the NSA wiretaps are just the beginning of the evil Right’s plan to strip American’s of their rights!
((oh and for someone who supposedly left this site, you’re doing a pretty good job at staying active

Im not a fan of muslims as it stands now. and the media whats to see what NASCAR fans think about them? ...

Why is it that a mindless drone has to show up making off-topic, uncalled for personal attacks in pretty much every topic? And in the defense of the Lefties that show up here, it’s not just them doing this.
Seriously, is it something in the water?
11:50 am [ Quote ]
NBC is stupid, they are doing this because they won’t be covering NASCAR anymore so they really don’t care.
Conversation as follows….

Why doesn’t NBC put a hidden camera and a microphone on some Muslims and send them into a mosque or a college’s muslim goup meeting and see what these Muslim groups have to say about the rest of America. Now that would be eye opening!!

jim why do you hate America so much?

hidden camera news reports are not the same as a warrentless wiretap. one is legal, one is not.
i think you’re confusing me with someone else.

Go ahead, i’m not opposed to that.

Well, have seen Cops lately? 90% of the time they’re in a black neighborhood. I do not think that’s racism of course, just pointing out that if you want to watch a reality show that takes place in the ghetto, there are plenty of them.
