Arsalan Iftikhar of Islamic Monthly magazine made a bigoted attack on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal on the 19 January 2015 edition of MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner. Host Alex Wagner hyped how Jindal "was asked by an interviewer about no-go zones and said, 'I did say so-called no-go zones, and I think that the radical left absolutely wants to pretend like this problem is not here. Pretending it's not here won't make it go away.' Somehow, this is all the fault of the radical left."
Iftikhar replied by basically saying that the minority Republican politician was trying to make himself more white: "You know, I think Governor Jindal is protesting a bit too much. He might be trying to – you know, scrub some of the brown off of his skin as he runs to the right – you know, in a Republican presidential exploratory bid."
