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.

"The Palestinians are the first people in the history of humanity to embrace terror and genocide as a way of life. Palestinian schools train kindergarteners and first graders to aspire to murder innocent Jews by blowing themselves up alongside them, and then tell the children that if they're lucky enough to have male genitalia they will go to heaven and be rewarded with 72 virgins to attend their every whim. Palestinian parents murder their own children by telling them to kill Jewish children so that Allah can receive them. This is the sickest culture on the face of the earth, and the fact that it is supported by secular leftists in Europe and America reveals the terminal sickness, as well, of those who crusade in the name of 'social justice'." —David Horowitz

I am surprised CAIR actually listens to 640 KFI that early in the morning. Bill Handel must be happy with his market share.

I thought what he said was funny and not anti-Islamic but a wry note on the appalling annual deaths at the Hajj.

Good for him!!!

Some terrorists stormed an EU office and demanded a retraction of some cartoons. If they give in to this, watch for them to be emboldened in ways we don't even want to contemplate.

And if we stormed media offices every time someone published a cartoon making fun of our government or government officials, productivity in the United States would be crippled.

Way to go! That is a great response to this shakedown!

I love Handel, and ALTHOUGH even I found the stampede jokes (which I heard) to be "over the line," I do agree that this parTICular group has NO moral-authority cash to spend. So I agree that Bill should be tough with them.

Had the appeal for an apology come from an untainted group, that'd be different. Again, I did think the jokes were over the line that day.

No loopholes, dammit!!
Muslims have this nasty habit of driving herds of camels through the tiniest loopholes...

"3) CAIR swears, under penalty of perjury, that it has no ties of any sort, financially or otherwise, to any terror orgs or individiuals.

There. I fixed it.

Can't resist...

What is the last thing that went through Mushir's mind when he was getting trampled at the Hajh?

Akmed's foot...
