5 min read"Woke TikToks: Islamophobia Edition!" — The Ben Shapiro Show
The episode opens with a TikTok creator arguing that Run Hide Fight, a Daily Wire film about a school shooting, is actually an Islamophobic response to pro-Palestinian campus protests. She points to data: the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in the U.S. was the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in 2018, committed by Robert Bowers, a white man. She claims the film weaponizes fear of Muslims while ignoring that white supremacists are the top domestic terror threat.
Ben Shapiro responds by dismantling her argument piece by piece, then uses the broader TikTok segment to expose what he sees as a pattern of bad logic, historical ignorance, and ideological capture among young progressive creators.
