MUSLIMS Demand Apology After Detroit Anchor Points Our Connection Between Arab Community & ISIS (VIDEO)
Detroit TV anchor Carmen Harlen angered local Muslims after her comments on ISIS in a report this week.
Muslim leaders demanded the TV station apologize for Harlen’s remarks.
The Lebanese Examiner reported:
WDIV-TV Local 4 news anchor Carmen Harlan upset many Michigan Muslims after making a comment on the state’s alleged ties to ISIS during a broadcast on the Detroit NBC affiliate on Wednesday.
When asked about a possible “ISIS threat in Michigan”, Harlan said “given the fact that we have the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East, I guess this should not come as a real surprise.”
Many Arab organizations have voiced concern over Harlan’s comments, urging the TV station to apologize.
“This shocking lapse of professional conduct was directed against law-abiding citizens who strive to create vibrant, diverse communities wherever they live,” said Fatina Abdrabboh, director of the Michigan American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
