#2 Can the substance of the remarks be refuted by factual recounting of the deeds and history of this "religion." Bin Hiding has free speech. So does the BBC.

#3 A radio talk show host using 'insensitive language'? Oh, dear! I think I'm coming down with a case of the vapors.

#5 Apparently the fellow who replaced Graham was discussing the islamic concept of religious deception (in what detail I don't know) and WMAL received another CAIR complaint.

#6 I did some research on this station. I found that this station loves to experiment by having liberal viewpoints. I also found out that Michael's show weren't the highest of ratings, in fact it was pretty low. They can't afford to mess with Rush or Sean.

Also, don't be surprised if his show gets replaced with a liberal. Again, the liberal experiment is something WMAL always wanted to do. My opinion is that they were looking for an excuse to get rid of Michael.

This station is in DC and so is the base mujahadeen operations of CAIR. CAIR has major pull with local DC advertisers. The CAIR threat wouldn't have worked in the South or Mid-West.

#7 mhw,

Good info. But, I think WMAL will have try other "temporary" conservatives, before saying, "well it was a good try." Hence, cue the liberal.

If they replace Michael with a liberal right away, it'll be too conspicuous and hence the backlash from the Right. Which by the way will be worse for the station than what the mujahadeen's can ever do.
