With Rise Of Muslim Brotherhood In Egypt, Red Eye Asks ‘Did We Open A Pandora’s Box?’
The panel of guests on Red Eye typically debate some of the sillier stories in the news, but frequently make time for some serious issues as well. With national media attention so heavily focused on Libya, Greg Gutfeld turned the spotlight back over to Egypt where reports indicate the Muslim Brotherhood is gaining influence and might form a “modesty police” to combat immoral behavior in public areas. Yet the panel had comically different levels of outrage in response.
Gutfeld wondered “did we open a pandora’s box by forcing Mubarak out” in Egypt? Comedian Paul Mercurio didn’t really think this was that big of a deal, saying “you’re not going to stop religious fanatics from organizing – they’re religious fanatics!” And liberal commentator Marc Lamont Hill warned “whenever you want democracy and freedom there is going to be struggle” and suggested every country, even America has religious fundamentalists. Gutfeld yelled that our fundamentalists “don’t kill people!”
Later Andy Levy joined the conversation and got Hill to explain that he’s not suggesting America’s religious fanatics are as dangerous as those in other countries, but just that he found Jerry Falwell and his attack on teletubbies to be really annoying. Hill also gets the last laugh in, suggesting it’s not worth promoting his show Our World with Black Enterprise on Fox News since there’s likely only “two black viewers out there.”
