"General Electric has pulled a lighting ad from Paul Harvey's syndicated radio show, heard here on WABC (770 AM), after receiving complaints from listeners over Harvey's comment that Islam 'encourages killing.'" This from the [1] New York Post, with thanks to seafarious.

"[2] Harvey, 84, made the comment Dec. 4 while describing cockfighting in Iraq. 'Add to the thirst for blood a religion which encourages killing, and it is entirely understandable if Americans came to this bloody party unprepared,' he said. [3] Harvey apologized six days later through an on-air substitute - a day after GE pulled its ad (for a lamp).

"'We're considering whether to resume advertising [on the show],' a GE spokesman said yesterday. 'No decision has been made yet.'" Are they waiting for a go-ahead from the Council on American Islamic Relations?
