DC Radio Host Claims Quran Teaches Muslims to Lie

[Dover]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on a Washington, D.C., radio station to address the incitement of anti-Muslim hatred caused by its talk show hosts. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued that call after a replacement for a talk show host suspended for anti-Islam remarks made similarly Islamophobic comments.

On Friday, July 29, WMAL-AM replacement host Geoff Metcalf stated: "And by the way, let me just add a sidebar here that's significant, and everybody forgets this, but according to the Quran, believers in Islam are not required to tell infidels, and that's us, the truth. So they apparently have permission to lie when it is appropriate." Most callers to the program expressed similar hostility to Muslims and to the faith of Islam.

Listen to the quote at: http://www.cairfl.org/audio/050729wmal-Metcalfe.mp3

Metcalf was replacing host Michael Graham, who was suspended without pay by the station for stating repeatedly that "Islam is a terrorist organization." Graham was suspended when CAIR initiated a public campaign against WMAL and the station's advertisers after receiving complaints from Muslim listeners...cont'd

1. And so it goes---what a world.

[mbperrin]

2. How stupid can anyone be...never mind.

Just right.

[dxdem]

3. Michael Savage

spews this kind of garbage non-stop on his show. Disgusting. He evokes a very visceral response from me...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. They also used to claim something about 14 virgins waiting in

heaven or something like that.... what a crock.

[marmar]

5. How would they like it if...

someone claimed the Republican National Committee teaches all Republicans to lie...

Oops, I guess that's true!!!

:hide:

6. It's called Al-Takeyya

Look it up. Based from this verse from the Koran

“Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.” Surah 3: 28

7. Sure. As soon as they renounce their incitements against women and gays.

Not to mention against Jews.

8. Humm, one religion calling another religion black. Does this religious

shit ever stop? Here's to all the peace-loving
atheists!

9. The Bible glorifies

- child murder
- incest
- polygamy
- allowing your daughters/wife to be raped.

[Xithras]

10. Err...Taqiyyah is a real part of Islam

It translates to "calculated deception". While Islam teaches that lying is generally wrong, al-Taqiyyah is authorized when it is neccesary to deceive the enemies of Islam in order to defeat them.

Nowadays, it's pretty much only used by OBL wanna-be's and reichwingers looking for something to villify Islam with.

11. It SHOULD be covered under the Hate Crimes law, imo...n/t

12. The DC area needs a news radio station that can compete with WMAL

It kills me to have to listen to their crap just because I know I'll always have a traffic report "on the 8s".

13. These people just don't care to be taken seriously.

I mean, they just aren't even trying anymore, just flailing away with anything they can make up. The more they do this the less people can believe ANYTHING they say on the airwaves.

They really are their own worst enemy.
