Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Koch: “Hundreds of Millions” of Muslims Are Terrorists

HeadlineJan 08, 2010

Her case comes as former New York City mayor Ed Koch has ignited a controversy for claiming “hundreds of millions” of Muslims are terrorists. Koch made the comments Thursday in an interview with Fox News.

Ed Koch: “Of course the vast majority of Muslims — there are a billion, 400 million — are not terrorists. But there are hundreds of millions who are. They want to kill every Christian, every Jew, every Hindu who won’t convert. And we ought to put it on the table.”
