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.

Couldn't agree more! My money says those 3 statements will NEVER come out of the mouths of CAIR.

EDIT: Its nice to see the station at least sticking up for him, instead of crawling up into the fetal position. At least thats my take on it.

The reply from his producer.

I am sending a note to the CAIR reps asking them to apologize as well.

TR

Thank you so much for your support. You have no idea how much Bill and the rest of us appreciate it!

You may also want to email CAIR with your thoughts.

Excellent, we can only hope (perhaps wishful thinking) that more members of the media follow suit.

I received the same response back from his producer, and plan on writing CAIR for an apology as well.

They didn't reply to me.

Maybe you were nicer to them. I just compared them to the Klan.
