Matt Drudge Reports:

LOS ANGELES RADIO STATION SQUARES-OFF WITH MUSLIM GROUP
Mon Jan 30 2006 10:10:49 ET

Los Angeles's top talkradio station is under fire from a Muslim group because of comments made earlier this month by morning man Bill Handel. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has demanded an apology from Handel for making fun of a stampede that killed hundreds of Muslims during an annual pilgrimage.

But Handel is set to fire back, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Handel will apologize IF the Council on American-Islamic Relations:

1) Decries all acts of terror (described specifically, not generally)

2) Agrees that Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to defensible borders

3) CAIR has no ties of any sort, financially or otherwise, to any terror orgs or individiuals.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT:

KFI-AM does not condone making light of the deaths of people engaged in religious observances. We regret that listeners found the comments of one of our on-air hosts to be insensitive. KFI does not censor its hosts, nor does it tell them what to say or not to say. KFI is a strong and passionate believer in 1st amendment rights and that is at the very core of this radio station.

It is gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.....

If you give a fat rat's ass about what some talk show dickhead has to say, that is.

I have never heard of this dude.... I just think it's interesting that someone is finally taking CAIR to task... hell they changed "24" to appease them. I don't think what this tool said is ok (or true), I just appreciate his strength to not bend over for the PC police.

You mean his strength to say controversial things to get more ratings and attention.

And your hard-on for everything Islam is getting really tired. Like Christian organizations have never asked a TV network or corporation to alter content before.

That would be true if you replaced Islam with Scarlett Johanson.




I'd convert.
