(CNSNews.com) - An Islamic civil rights group wants MSNBC to apologize for comments on its "Imus in the Morning" program, in which one of Don Imus's colleagues called Palestinians "filthy animals" and suggested that they all be killed.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the program's host, Don Imus, should be reprimanded for failing to challenge the inflammatory remarks made by one of his colleagues.
CAIR said it received numerous complaints about the November 12 broadcast where Imus and his on-air colleagues engaged in the following discussion during live coverage of Yasser Arafat's burial in Ramallah, an event that turned into a mob scene.
DON IMUS: They're (the Palestinians) eating dirt and that fat pig wife of his is living in Paris.
COLLEAGUE: They're all brainwashed, though. That's what it is. And they're stupid to begin with, but they're brainwashed now. Stinking animals. They ought to drop the bomb right there, kill 'em all right now.
IMUS: Well, the problem is we have (reporter) Andrea (Mitchell) there; we don't want anything to happen to her.
COLLEAGUE: Oh, she's got to get out. Andrea, get out and then drop the bomb and kill everybody.
COLLEAGUE: Look at this. Animals. Animals!
In a letter to MSNBC President Neal Shapiro, CAIR said it defends the First Amendment - "but these hate-filled and racist remarks can only serve to legitimize anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry in our society and could lead to further discrimination against members of the Islamic and Arab-American communities."
CAIR said it also filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.
CAIR notes that Don Imus in 1985 "was forced to apologize for referring to Arabs as 'goat-humping weasels,'" and he has been known to use the derogatory term, "raghead."
CAIR currently is sponsoring a campaign to counter hate speech on talk radio.
The effort, called "Hate Hurts America," gives Muslims "step-by-step instructions on how to monitor local and syndicated radio programs, report anti-Muslim hate, file FCC complaints, and contact advertisers to register their concerns."
A recent CAIR survey indicated that as many as 1-in-4 Americans holds anti-Muslim views.
But CAIR said its research shows that anti- Muslim prejudice decreases when people have access to accurate information about Islam and are able to relate to ordinary Muslims.
If the shoe fits, Cinderella.
It's called free speech.
We've heard Marines be called 'baby killers,' our President be accused of invading Iraq for oil profits, and evangelical Christians referred to as the 'American Taliban.'
Deal with it!
Would they prefer the term "Hygienically challenged"?
I look to Imus to entertain me, not to influence me.

LOL
I think if CAIR had it's way it be 4 out of 4. Keep blowing up buildings...you might not like what you get.
CAIR has done more to promote "anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry" than anyone aside from the actual terrorists themselves.

Yeah, and the exit-polls on election day said Kerry was gonna be elected President.

love the quote on the guy above "it didnt hit a bone colonel lol!!!)
Ha! A rare Imus show that was worth the effort of watching.
My advice to CAIR - leave and go back to your tents and camels.
...as insult to animals?
(Well, *someone* was going to say it, might as well get it over with.)
Compared to anything else on in the morning, with the exception of C-SPAN's Washington Journal, Imus is always worth watching.
ROFL! What's so funny to me is not that Imus said it, but that someone at CAIR sat down at a keyboard recently and had to type the phrase "goat-humping weasels" into their press release, giving the 19-year-old insult fresh life.
