O'Reilly on The View? Bad idea

Bill O'Reilly, one of the most well-known men on Fox News, was brought onto the show The View, and things ended up turning out....just about exactly how many would have predicted. After giving his point of view on the Islamic center being built by Ground Zero, saying that it was unacceptable because "Muslims killed us on 9/11",  Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar proceeded to walk off the set because they did not want to listen to him anymore. Later, Sherri Shepherd called him a pinhead because he did not refer to the Muslims who were involved with the 9/11 attack as extremists. I think that the ladies on The View were overreacting. Bill O'Reilly stated a fact, that Muslims killed Americans on 9/11. He did not say all Muslims were terrorists or anything of that kind, he simply stated a fact. Later, he apologized to those who thought he was demeaning all Muslims, but then also stated he's "not in the business of sugarcoating harsh reality", and I agree with him completely. Although not all Muslims are radicals, it does not change the fact that some are and those are the ones who committed the attacks, and that is what O'Reilly is referring to.
