CAIR vs Bill Handel/KFI
LOS ANGELES RADIO STATION SQUARES-OFF WITH MUSLIM GROUPMon 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. Developing... Handel was on fire this AM - if they want an apology they'll be changing themselves...not likely Posted by: Frank G 2006-01-30 |
