Bearing petitions and prayers, about 70 people gathered Sunday to protest the hateful utterances of national radio personality Michael Savage, whose talk show is carried locally by KCMO 710-AM.
Representatives from several faiths, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Sikhism, were meeting for the first time as the Interfaith Coalition Against Bigotry at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
The group has collected hundreds of signatures on petitions protesting Savages statements last fall, which included a call to deport Muslims from the United States without due process of law, the group said.
We have become sometimes saddened and sometimes angered by what Michael Savage has said, Arif Ahmad of the Islamic Center of Johnson County said Sunday. We have to tell everyone, you become a star by bringing people together, not by dividing them.

No kidding. And getting rid of Savage on the radio is going to do that?

When I go into my swim areobics class, Sean Hannity is on. When I come out and turn on the car, Savage blasts at me from 710. arrrgggg. He is so totally negative out of control that even when I sort of agree with his position and think yes, that has to be said, he plasters such hate speech, often at the other conservative TV and radio people that I cannot and won’t listen to it. I wouldn’t miss it if 710 kicks it.
“Interfaith” Say no more. That is a bunch of feel good liberals from each of these faiths getting together. Try to take away porn for the children, and they’d have a fit. However, it’s ok to them for actual speech with which they disagree to be censored.
I listen to Savage when I can, and I have found him to make more sense in one of his crazed modes than any liberal can make when they are calm.
I can understand your opinion. But if they succeed in getting him taken off the station like this, others who like his show will not get to hear him. Right now you have the option to change the station.
it’d be more peaceful if they dropped these religious groups.
Congrats. You’re an evolutionary step above the whiners in the article as you have figured out how the on/off button works on your radio.
Good observation. Free speech is but a concept to these group thinking types.
"Hate speech?"
Wow.
In the eyes of the secular humanist,
Christianity = Islam = Judaism = Buddhism = Sikhism
They're only missing a representative from Environmentalism.
He’s a good, crazy lead in to “Coast to Coast AM” overnight.
Beyond that either he is a leftie faking conservative or just a crazy guy who happens to occasionally talk like a conservative.
Remember that “hate speech” means you violated the Owellian thought control that exists today.
“...give Muslims or interfaith groups air time to respond and explain Islam,”
That should be interesting. “This is why we slaughter every American POW we capture. This is why we cut off the heads of all non believers. This is why we murder teenage girls who dare to think for themselves. This is why we want to destroy Israel.” Yep, this explanation should be interesting.
Thanks to PEOS for posting.

Those lunatics are making headway in this crazy world.

You forgot Zoroastrians too!
He grew up a lefty, and then left that camp. As far as your description of him is concerned I would go with the latter, sorta.
