Preacher says CBS 'caved' to demands of Islamic organization.

A CBS television station in Tampa, Fla., has announced it is taking the ongoing "Live Prayer with Bill Keller" program, on the airwaves since 2003, off after the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations complained of the religious views Keller expressed.

There is, happily, a gathering storm here as more and more people begin to understand what Islam is all about.

There is, happily, another gathering storm here as more and more people begin to understand what the MSM is all about, too.

Isn’t it marvelous that CBS is protecting our religious freedom and our cultural diversity? The FCC should give them a medal for following the prime directive. After all, it is truly a religion of peace.

(”[The Bible] calls Islam a false religion.)

While I agree with the premise, I don’t know where Islam is ever mentioned in the Bible. I thought the Bible was written before Mohammad.

On the other hand, I love the passage in the Bible that talks about knowing the nature of a tree by its fruits. I determined the nature of Islam by its fruits of hatred, intolerence, and cruelty.

What can one say about CBS that hasn’t already been said? It’s a blue, Democrat network through and through. From the retired Walter Cronkite, the memory of Edward R. Murrow, to Dan (fake but accurate) Rather, nothing but wall to wall liberals.

The folks at CBS think this is “normal”. Why WOULD they ever hire a conservative?

Just doesn’t happen.

The way the West caves in to them, the Muslims must think this is Alla’s will.

I mean, we go further than bending over backwards, we violate the constitution, free speech, and the laws of common sense and self-survival. So I couldn’t blame the Muslims for thinking they are on the right track.

I personally blame the Democrats - so many of whom have no beliefs of their own and live in a spiritual and moral vacuum.

If this program is really heavily viewed and liked, the audience should complain and CBS put it back on the air. Then tell the Muzzie group that if they want a program and pony up the money, they’ll air theirs. Wonder if that would actually happen or if Muzzie groups are just going around complaining and getting their way with our public airways and just laughing how easy it is to wipe Christianity out of this country?

well, if Christianity offends Muslims, what do muslims think Islamic scripture does to Christians and Jews?

My God, the insanity in this country is truly at a level never seen in the world in all it's years.

BAN THE KORAN! THAT is offensive.

Trust c-BS to cave into CAIR, a terrorist group.

Also Jesus did warn about the dangers of “false prophets” in the Bible also.

An act of CAIR-orism for sure.

Don't you understand the definition of cultural diversity? It means "non-Christian, non-White, non-Western". You can't be culturally diverse if you include and Christians, Whites, or people with pro-Western tendencies.

Bill Keller is a great preacher. He doesn't sugarcoat the Word of God and we all know that truth is one thing CAIR, liberals or the MSM can stand. What Bill Keller said is Biblical. He only told the truth.

Hear him in his own words, and then you can decide.

I personally blame the Democrats - so many of whom have no beliefs of their own and live in a spiritual and moral vacuum.

It is people who refuse see reality that I blame.

Yes the democrats have some of the blame, but you people who live in a constant state of excuse and denial and refuse to hold accountable those that you believed in and supported and still continue to support after years daily betrayal or the ones who scare me.

Loyalty is a good thing, but not when it is carried to the extreme, to the point to where a person will absolutely refuse to face realty even if it leads to the destruction of our country and our Constitution.

Bill Clinton has nor been our President for the last two terms,which will soon be eight years. Hillary is not our President [yet].

Our President is G.W.Bush.

The Republican has for all practical purpose been in control of both houses of Congress since 1994 and in control of both the executive and legislative branch since President Bush took office.

It is he that has been telling the nation and world since the week after 3000 of his citizens were murdered that Islam is a "religion of peace".

It is he who done what no other President has done by giving them their very own annual celebration at the White House.

It is he who has called for these butchers to have their very own terrorists state in Israel on land his administration has heavily pressured Israel to give up.

How can anyone in their right mind blame a party and people who are not in power for all the bad things our government does is completely beyond my ability to comprehend.

As long as we have people in both parties who have this crippling blindness there is very little hope left for the future of our country and our children and grandchildren.

Well, there is blame to go around but the Democrats are the ones moving this country so far left and the leftist judges are the ones making rulings that throw out our Christian ways, not Bush. I don't think Bush is perfect...I never said that, but he is, and has been criticized continually for being a Christian.

I heard someone on Michael Savage about 2 or so years ago and this guy apparently had some pretty convincing stories about seeing the future. I happen to know this is possible ...but anyway... if you know Savage he doesn’t listen to fools. Savage asked him what he saw for our future and the man didn’t want to go into detail but he did say that in less than 200 years there would be a mosque where the White House is now.

I don’t think an agnostic nation can hold off the ferocity of the Muslims. How ironic will that be? The descendants of the unbelievers in anything other than “if it feels good do it” will end up praying to Mecca 5 times a day.
