The organization, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), asked the station to take disciplinary action against Michael Graham, who hosts WMAL-AM's late-morning call-in program.

A station executive, Randall Bloomquist, said yesterday that Graham's comments were "amped up" but justified within the context of the program. He said the station, which is owned by the Walt Disney Co., had no plans to reprimand Graham.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!  DADDY, HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT US ISLAMOSWINIANS!!!!!  MAKE HIM STOPPPPPPPPP!!!!!"

The show host touched off the flap during a discussion of the Muslim community's response to recent acts of terrorism. Graham suggested the fault lies with Muslims generally because religious leaders and followers haven't done enough to condemn and root out extreme elements. "The problem is not extremism," Graham said, according to both CAIR and the station. "The problem is Islam." He also said, "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam."

CAIR denounced the comments yesterday as "hate-filled" and "Islamophobic" and asked its members to contact the station's advertisers to express their dismay.

In other words, looks like Graham hit the nail on the head, and the jackasses over at CAIR have their burqas in a wad over it.  Film at 11.

"It's amazing," said Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR's communications director. "I talked with Mr. Bloomquist and asked him if he would reprimand someone who used the n-word on the air. He said yes. I asked him if he would reprimand someone who read [approvingly] from the [anti-Semitic] 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion.' He said yes. So I asked him if he would do the same if someone had called Islam a terroristic organization. Well, he said, it's all about context, but he never quite explained it to me."

Well, it's like this, Ib:  See Islamopricks.  See Islamopricks hate America.  See Islamopricks fly planes into American buildings.  See Americans not take it very well.  See Americans see you and your fellow Islamonazis for the terrorist bastards they are.

Those other folks didn't destroy the World Trade Center and try for the Pentagon and the White House.  Your  people did.  That's not too hard to understand, is it, Ib?

Added Hooper, "The First Amendment allows people to be idiots and bigots. All you can do is embarrass people and have them defend their reputation.

Somehow, Ibbie, I don't think WMAL is terribly embarrassed by the whole thing.  I imagine they take it as sort of a badge of honor, y'know? (snicker)

If WMAL doesn't feel embarrassed and doesn't want to defend its reputation in the face of anti-Muslim bigotry, then there's not much we can do about it."

Except cry and whine, whine and cry, and generally make turbaned tumblefuckheads of yourselves.

F.O.E.S.G.B.R.O.A.D, Ibbie.

UPDATE:  Looks like the bastards at WMAL have broken out the kneepads for Ib Hooper and suspended Graham.

Hey, you morons - did it ever occur to you that right-thinking Americans don't give a shit  what Ibriham Hooper thinks?  And that there are still a helluva lot more of us paying your station's bills than there are of them?

Suggest you people reinstate Mr. Graham soonest.  Before some of those right-thinkers take their $$$$ elsewhere, y'know?
