I haven't said anything about Bill Handel's flap with CAIR yet because I have been thinking it over. I don't like obnoxious talk making fun of people who have been the victims of accidents, in any context, anywhere, at any time. On the other hand, I believe in free speech, and that must include the freedom to be obnoxious. KFI-AM has struck just the right balance by challenging the Council on American Islamic Relations with legitimate questions that the mainstream media ought to be asking the group, as well as clarifying its stance toward Handel's remarks.
"Los Angeles Radio Station Squares-Off With Muslim Group," from the Drudge Report, with thanks to MB:
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.
Boo yaw.......CAIR and their constant, ridiculous demands are quickly making them not only an all out comedy routine, but a transparent group of barking, drooling militant Muslims who have no desire to partner up with the freedoms afforded by this nation.
Sounds like this radio station is asking CAIR if the letters F.O. mean anything to them.
You can listen to Bill Handel's response at KFI.
I love it. http://www.kfi640.com/main.html

This is worth more than we know....

You're a better man than I am. I can sometimes
enjoy that kind of thing, depending on who the
victims are. And unlike the people who say they
don't hate Muslims or have any ill will towards
them, I can't honestly say the same. The thing I
can honestly say though is that when they cease
being muslim, my ill will ceases simultaneously.
I know it is in bad taste to make fun of other peoples deaths but remember that Muslims particularly the Palestinians dance in the street and passed out candy on 9-11-01.They took joy in the deaths of 3000 innocent lives and the Twin Towers collapsing.
The Saudis are to blame for these fatal mob scenes (recurring almost yearly) that allow the herds of hysterical Shaitan-stoners to squash one other like human hummus.
One laughs in sheer disgusted disbelief that the Meccan overlords are so moronically unable to learn from this repeating disaster. Not for the suffering of the poor suckers caught in this crazy cult's clutches.
I wish everyone would abandon the pedophile prophet's fatalistic faith and wake the hell up.
Read the Tao Te Ching, the Tripitaka of the Buddha, the Mumonkan, the Sermon on the Mount.
ANYTHING but the kill-crazed Koran.
Inshallah.

Actually, this sounds more like something that might have come out of "John & Ken"
Since Handel is a Jew, he can easily point out 2 obvious things:
- Since he is a dog/ape according to the Quran, FCC rules don't apply to him when it comes to Muslims
- Since he is a Semite, he cannot be accused of racism
From CAIR's own press release on this:
http://www.cair-net.org/default.asp?Page=articleView&id=38785&theType=NB
Two years ago, KFI issued an on-air apology after the group filed a complaint with the FCC following a skit that claimed Muslims have sex with animals, don't bathe and hate Jews.
KFI shouldn't have apologized for the last statement - that's a fact. Coming to think of it, so are the other 2 assertions, unless one maintains that calling Muslims animals is flattery.
If CAIR is upset then that is a good thing. It's probably a good thing that I am not on the radio because if they think this is harsh they have not even heard the tip of the proverbialy ice berg. Hey CAIR, go f*ck your selves and then jump off a bridge!
