Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that to the mainstream media, "the real threat to America is Christianity," not that of "militant Islamists."
From the May 17 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: They do not understand the threat to Western civilization -- not just America, Western civilization -- posed by militant Islamists, because to Newsweek to Time to ABC to CBS to NBC to The New York Times to The Washington Post, the real threat to America is Christianity. Now, if that doesn't help you put that in perspective, nothing will. That's who they think threatens this country. That's the religion that they really fear -- is Christianity.
