Staged provocations reveal audiences readily endorsing fascist measures against Muslims

Evidence

The circulation of terror today knows no borders or boundaries. A talk show host in Washington, DC, in 2007, began a show by suggesting that Muslims in America should be identified by a forehead tattoo or an armband, much like Jews in Nazi Germany. The audience responses were shocking, repeatedly calling for exporting them or placing them in concentration camps. At show’s end the host, himself Jewish, admitted to staging the call for identification marks, strongly chiding the audience for being like fascists in Germany during World War II. A revealing moment. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 458
