All the news that NBC wants to create

Michelle Malkin blogged about an example of where NBC's Dateline Show is looking for some male Muslims to stage confrontations to allow it to show anti-Muslim and anti-Arab racism: A source who monitors political e-mail lists sent me an intriguing message disseminated last week, which involved an apparent Dateline NBC solicitation to Muslim groups. Check this out:

They are looking for men who actually "look Muslim". They want a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap....
So they should ""look Muslim" but not sound Muslim
They also want someone who is fairly well accomplished and has contributed to American society at large in some meaningful way....
It will make it a better story if they can get racist behaviour against someone that has contributed to American society. So they probably don't want a Taliban student from Yale.
NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses....
Free trip if you will help us stage an incident.
We already have a hijabi sister who will be filmed there but a Muslim is also needed to join her....
Because doesn't Islamic law mean a woman must stay home unless accompanied by a brother or husband?
Catch that? The apparent "sting" involves targeting Nascar and other sporting events. 'Cause that's presumably where the fair and balanced NBC news staff thinks all the bigots are.
