The US's largest Muslim advocacy group has filed a complaint with the FCC over what it says is a Houston radio talk show host who "advocated bombing a proposed New York City mosque."

In a statement released Thursday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Michael Berry of KPRC 950 AM "made a call to violence" when he said he hoped someone would blow up the mosque being proposed for a location in lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9/11 attacks.

1. He's denying it, even though it's on tape?

"In a statement on the KPRC Web site, Berry denied that he advocated terrorism against a house of worship, and said CAIR was trying to intimidate political opponents into silence."

There's a pattern of these RW nut-jobs denying things they say, even though there is audio or video of the statements. :crazy:
