Was show host booted -- or did he decide to leave?

[meegbear]

A group which opposes the spread of radical Islam says WMAL in Washington, DC, has caved to the demands of an Islamic supremacist organization, making it the first "sharia-compliant" radio station in America.

Former Congressman Fred Grandy (R-Iowa) (aka Gopher from The Love Boat -- meegbear) told Accuracy in Media that he was recently forced to walk away from his popular morning drive-time talk show after WMAL's management insisted that he avoid discussions about radical Islam. The station management also banned Grandy's wife Catherine (known on the air as the outspoken "Mrs. Fred") from appearing on any future broadcasts.

The station denies those charges, saying Grandy resigned of his own accord and adding that it was not contacted by any organization seeking to restrict Grandy's broadcasts.

But James Lafferty, chairman of the Virginia Anti-Sharia Task Force, claims he heard from "two very good sources" that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) played a part in Grandy's leaving. He contends the station caved to browbeating from that pro-Muslim group.
