Talk radio’s Boyles: Threats against Muslim-Americans a ‘myth’

In the wake of the Fort Hood shootings, Denver KHOW talk-radio host Peter Boyles told listeners that reports of retaliatory threats around the country against Muslim Americans were a myth-- a product of a politically correct culture that aimed to silence hawkish members of the right and that was making the U.S. vulnerable to attacks.

Talk-radio’s Boyles: ‘Political correctness’ to blame for Fort Hood killings

Friday afternoon KHOW talk-radio host Peter Boyles, referring to the shooting-spree murder of 12 soldiers and 1 civilian at Fort Hood in Texas Thursday, proclaimed that Islam is at war with America. Boyles also said the suspect in the shooting, a U.S. Army officer, had benefited from "political correctness" in his military career and should have been the subject of suspicion for writing that he was of Palestinian descent at his mosque.
