Tucker Carlson Says He Used to Criticize Islam, but Now He Sees the Light

Is he being honest about his prior statements?

June 26, 2026 by Robert Spencer

Tucker Carlson has issued a mea culpa, but not the one he needs to issue. The Clash Report reported Thursday that the newly antisemitic news personality “publicly disavowed his previous hostile statements regarding Islam and issued a sharp critique of Donald Trump’s foreign policy record.” Yet what Carlson actually offered was a parade of straw men. He misrepresented his own previous comments, and then went on to misrepresent the U.S. conflict with Iran and the state of Israel as well. Carlson clearly thinks that there is nothing he can say or do that will result in him losing his massive audience.

“Many times I said on television,” Carlson said Thursday, “‘The problem is Islam. The problem is Muslims. They all want to kill us. They’re all crazy. They’re all in this lunatic suicide cult created by Muhammad in the 7th century.’ And I believed that. I was hysterical. I believed that. No, that’s not true. Nothing about that is true, but I believed it.”

I can’t say that I’ve seen more than a handful of Tucker Carlson’s shows, at best, but I can nevertheless state categorically and with one-hundred percent certainty that Tucker Carlson never actually said “The problem is Islam. The problem is Muslims. They all want to kill us. They’re all crazy. They’re all in this lunatic suicide cult created by Muhammad in the 7th century.”

Tucker Carlson is committing the all too common fallacy of conflating Islam and Muslims. In reality, to say that there are problems with Islam, or even that “the problem is Islam,” doesn’t say anything about “all Muslims,” because there are degrees of knowledge of the religion and commitment to it among Muslims, just as there are among adherents of all religions. No serious analyst ever says “all Muslims want to kill us,” or that all the members of any group want to do anything.

It took only a few million dollars in Qatari funds to change his mind, because he's a really deep thinker.

"The light" looks a lot like all the zeroes on the checks he gets from Qatar!

Three minutes of Tucker Carlson praising Islam.

Does Tucker have an untreated case of Syphilis?

Shi'ites bombed the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983.  Sunni's flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  Chechyan trash immigrant Islamists bombed the 2013 Boston Marathon.

Those really happened.  Those effected my (figurative) neighbors in my own (figurative) back yard.  My town's Emergency Headquarters has a piece of steel from the World Trade Center as a memorial to a United Airlines stewardess from my town that was killed in 9/11.

Is it time for Tucker to be arrested and prosecuted for being an agent and unregistered lobbyist for foreign Governments?

Free speech is one thing.  Accepting compensation (emoluments) from foreign sources to subvert the the United States Government is participation in a foreign conspiracy against the United States.
