Muslims Call Comments by WMAL Host 'Hate-Filled'

A local radio talk show host touched off complaints from an Islamic civil rights organization yesterday after repeatedly describing Islam on the air as "a terrorist organization" that is "at war with America."

The organization, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), asked the station to take disciplinary action against Michael Graham, who hosts WMAL-AM's late-morning call-in program.

A station executive, Randall Bloomquist, said yesterday that Graham's comments were "amped up" but justified within the context of the program. He said the station, which is owned by the Walt Disney Co., had no plans to reprimand Graham.

The show host touched off the flap during a discussion of the Muslim community's response to recent acts of terrorism. Graham suggested the fault lies with Muslims generally because religious leaders and followers haven't done enough to condemn and root out extreme elements. "The problem is not extremism," Graham said, according to both CAIR and the station. "The problem is Islam." He also said, "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam."

1. What a moron!!! The guy is factually incorrect and morally bankrupt.

Graham is a twit.I would still try to be nice to the guy, but point out he is causing more problems.

2. Be nice to this guy? Nah.

He's a male version on the radio of Annthrax Coulter.

At WMAL's web site is Graham bragging about his trip to Iraq.
(Even money he never left the Green Zone.)

3. daily lineup .. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and this TWIT

Consider the source.


"The First Amendment allows people to be idiots and bigots." :dunce:

That's true.

4. What gets me

is that these people say Muslims haven't done enough against terrorism, but NEVER ever tell how many HUNDREDS of imams and other leaders have spoken out. They NEVER mention the interfaith conferences, the attempts by Muslims to reach out to people of other faiths and discuss how best to address the root causes of terrorism.

If I lived in DC, I think I'd call in and ask the twit when he was going to call the Catholic Church a terrorist organization-after all, the IRA isn't made up of Muslims, the last time I heard. Bet I'd be cut off and not even be allowed to speak.

Station owned by Disney, eh? Maybe some letters???
