CNN's Beck to first-ever Muslim congressman: "[W]hat I feel

On the November 14 edition of his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck interviewed Rep.-elect Keith Ellison (D-MN), who became the first Muslim ever elected to Congress on November 7, and asked Ellison if he could "have five minutes here where we're just politically incorrect and I play the cards up on the table." After Ellison agreed, Beck said: "I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.' " Beck added: "I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way."

The Fact that he is on TV in america, is really telling.

The term racism in today's usage includes religions as it defines an act towards a group or class of people. In this case, to say he is performing religious discrimination would not be exactly correct either. So, splitting hairs and being overly literal like you were is simply being pretentious on your part.
