"Hate crime gets a slap on wrist"

Propagating hatred against others for their color, religion, country of origion, calling for their deaths is a hate crime according to the US Government.

Any one else think we should let the General Manager, the owner of the station, thesponcers and the local Government know how we feel about these blatant Hate Crimes which receive no punnishment, so they are not discouraged?

First in Iraq, possession of pictures of the leader of your mosque is "anti-American" and can get you killed even if they didn't tell you about it before hand, or the rule was made up ten minutes ago by some "brilliant" First Lieutenant!

Tami Silicio and her husband get fired for showing flag draped coffins of our troops.

Boston Radio Host Says Kill All Muslims, Islamic Civil
Rights Group Calls for Host's Termination


WASHINGTON, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called for the termination of a Boston-area radio talk show host who allegedly said, "Let's kill all Muslims."

CAIR made that demand after receiving a complaint from a concerned Muslim who heard WTKK-FM www.969fmtalk.com host Jay Severin's Thursday afternoon program. WTKK-FM General Manager Matt Mills told CAIR that in a discussion about how Severin claims Muslims want to take over America, even if it takes centuries, Severin said, "I've got an idea, let's kill all Muslims."

"I have spoken to Jay Severin and he knows we take this seriously and do not condone offensive remarks toward any religious groups and he will be apologizing on his show Monday afternoon," said Mills in an e-mail. "He did not intend to offend anyone." He did not intend to OFFEND ANYONE?, Then, prey tell, what exactly WERE his intentions????????

Yet, Mills also acknowledged to CAIR that if Severin had said the same thing about African-Americans that he would no longer be on the air.

"We believe a mere reprimand and apology is insufficient and demand that he be taken off the air as he would be if he had attacked any other religious or ethnic group," said CAIR's Chairman of the Board Omar Ahmad.

Ahmad added that such hateful rhetoric has a direct impact on the American Muslim community. He cited examples of anti-Muslim incidents that took place recently in Texas, such as a shooting at a
Denton mosque, an e-mailed threat against the Islamic Center of El Paso (tge Deo arrest in this case), arson attacks on Muslim businesses in San Antonio and racist graffiti scrawled on the interior of a Lubbock mosque.

The alarming increase of hate crimes against the Muslim community required CAIR today to issue a security advisory for American Muslims.

Last week, CAIR announced a new campaign designed to counter anti-Muslim hate on radio talk shows. The campaign, called "Hate Hurts America," is based on the premise that the increasing attacks on Islam by talk show hosts harm the United States by creating a downward spiral of interfaith mistrust and hostility.

Hopefully they can get rid of Rush!

1. This crosses the line of free speech...

It's incitement of violence, and shouldn't be tolerated, if taken more personally it would be taken as a threat, I feel that it is a the same as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.
