A Muslim radio station broadcast lectures by an Al Qaeda terror leader calling for holy war.

Iman FM transmitted 25 hours of sermons from Anwar Al-Awlaki, a hate preacher killed by a US drone strike in 2011.

A complaint was made to Ofcom, which has suspended the Sheffield-based station's licence.

The watchdog said the material 'amounted to a direct call to action to members of the Muslim community to prepare for and carry out violent action against non-Muslim people'.

The station engineer was probably roguering a goat for 25 straight hours while listening to the recordings.

It’s Britain, they will probably end up apologizing to their masters for even thinking to object.

Where did this take place? More bad reporting by the news publication leaving out key information.

I guess this isn’t like the DJs who used to play the full 18 minutes of In A Gadda Da Vida, so they could go out back and smoke a doobie.

25 hours. Twenty. Five. Hours. And, it was a "mistake.

Are the Brits...is anyone....anyone stupid enough to believe, or even momentarily entertain that excuse?

Kinda like what their Koran teaches.

By mistake? Ok, we knew it was a mistake, now for equal time you’ll need to broadcast 25 hours of the Bible.
