Mr Hooper is very busy these days: seeking an apology from Dr Laura, suing a Congressman from North Carolina, and now going after Paul Harvey.

[Onelifetogive]

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling for an on-air apology from syndicated radio commentator Paul Harvey who said on his Thursday program that Islam "encourages killing."

Paul Harvey should apologize...unless he can come up with any examples of Islam "encouraging killing." Something like Islamics flying airplanes into towers, or blowing up civilians, or anything like that. Maybe he could do an internet search and see if he can find any examples...

[Blue Screen of Death]

Dear Mr. Harvey,

Islam is not a violent religion. If you do not apologize, we will kill you, your family, all your friends, anyone in your neighborhood, your banker, doctor, stock broker, high school teachers and gardener. Islam is a religion of peace.

Thanks for your attention,
CAIR

First Mr. Harvey in our society has what we believe to be a God given right of liberty and the ability to follow his own convictions and beliefs--something not found in orthodox Muslim societies, like Saudi Arabia where conversion to Christianity is a crime.

Secong the Koran's prohibition of murder seems to be ignored by terrorists who wantonly take thousands of innocent lives in the name of their Islamic religion. Where is their condemnation of the attack on the World trade Center???

I think it's time to write cair a letter.

[tkathy]

Instead of saying Islam "encourages killing," perhaps Mr. Harvey should have said, "Islam encourages serial killing."

Inverted World ping!

It would be nice if once, just once, these groups representing 'mainstream' Muslims would publicly and loudly denounce the radical fundamentalist elements in their religion and take steps to isolate them.

Perhaps they know that if they did, they might get killed, in the name of Islam of course.

"We had hoped that a respected broadcast professional like Mr. Harvey would not join the growing number of Islamophobic hate-mongers in our society,"

Well I for one have given up hope that Islam would not remain the principal Judeophobic and Christainophobic hate mongering religion. They preach hatred and then when anyone bravely points it out, they are called a hate-monger.

Why would Paul Harvey think that Islam is a violent religion? Why Islamists haven't killed anybody in over 2 hours! Progress already. Islam-The Religion of Satan

Pray for W and The Truth

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP - if the First Ammendment means anything, it means that someone like Paul Harvey can comment on the public aurways, and mot have to apologize if some group is offended.

STAND FIRM, PAUL

[CharliefromKS]

Stand your ground, Paul. We need more people who tell it like it is.

[E.G.C.]

Paul Harvey is a legendary radio commenator who has won numerous awards for his work. He is a very well respected radio commentator who knows what he's talking about when reporting and commenting on the news. He owes no apology whatsoever.

Hooper is annoying, I have a very hard time watching him speak. He was asked directly by Jerry Falwell of all people a few months ago how old Mohammed's wife Aisha was when he married her and subsequently consummated the marriage, Hooper flat out denied that she was 6 and 9, respectively. Falwell said it's right there in your hadith and Hooper said he had never seen such a reference in his life. Lying or ignorant? Hooper certainly seems familiar with the Koran in this article, so I bet he's just a little familiar with the hadith as well.

Hmmm.. so Honor killings aren't part of Islam... interesting, they only seem to be occurring routinely by Muslims... and Islam has from its founding and still to this day encourages "conversion" under threat of death... or maybe you just conviently ignore the slaughter of Jews and Christians and others at the Hands of muslim "missionaries" throughout the world!


Sorry CAIR, you clean up your own house before you tell me how to take care of mine.

[The_Media_never_lie]

An Islamic group crying out against hate mongers? Now that is the pot calling the kettle black!

[presidio9]

Arabs buy a lot of Dux beds and Bose Wave Radios?

[HamiltonJay]

CAIR, Tell me some more damned lies about your oh so peaceful religion!
