Michael Graham was fired in August by WMAL-AM because he refused to apologize for saying "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam," on-air following the London subway bombings."I stand by it," Graham, 42, told the Boston Herald on Monday.
The former standup comedian and GOP political consultant officially took over Monday as WTKK-FM's afternoon drive host after a two-week tryout, replacing Jay Severin.
"I think he's a very bright guy," said Peter Smyth, chief executive of Greater Media, which owns WTKK. He said audience response to Graham had so far been "incredibly positive."
Why wouldnÂ’t he be popular? After all, he is speaking the truth as he sees it, and his point of view is not unreasonable.
CAIR, angry that their attempt to censor one and intimidate many has failed, is already planning their next move.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said they're disappointed with the decision and will monitor his new show for similar comments."When you describe one-fifth of the world's population to be a member of a terrorist organization, that amounts to bigotry," said Ibrahim Hooper, a group spokesman.
Sorry, Ibrahim, gotta disagree with you. When most of that one-fifth says next to nothing when their co-religionists murder Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and others in the name of the religion of that one-fifth of the world’s population, it is not unreasonable to conclude that the one-fifth is part of a terrorist organization – or at least providing aid, comfort, and support to the terrorists.
