1:32Now PlayingWatch the full interview with Nihad Awad on Democracy Now! at Selfidentified "terrorism expert" Steve Emerson appeared on CSPAN's Washington Journal after the Boston Marathon bombing and appeared to claim responsibility for the investigation of a Saudi national who later turned out to be one of the victims badly wounded in the attack not a suspect. And hours following the explosions, conservative columnist and Fox News contributor Erik Rush tweeted then deleted what he claimed was a joke about rounding up Saudis and killing them. Nihad Awad, National Executive Director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), says Fox News should distance itself from Rush for advocating "religious genocide against Muslims."
Awad says: "We should ask the populate to contact FOX News to drop this commentator who is basically calling for religious genocide against Muslims."
