I wonder if the station was afraid of a backlash or something. Ironic.
CAIR now knows that it can threaten and intimidate any infidel radio station that its wants to shut down. They have essentially ended free speech in America............
Huh? WTF? "Jihad" is not a new punk band!

WMAL is now permanently off the air in my home and cars.
So much for free speech.
Excerpt:
I take no pleasure in saying it. It pains me to think it. I could very well lose my job in talk radio over admitting it. But it is the plain truth:
Islam is a terror organization.
For years, I've been trying to give the world's Muslim community the benefit of the doubt, along with the benefit of my typical-American's complete disinterest in their faith. Before 9/11, I knew nothing about Islam except the greeting "asalaam alaikum," taught to me by a Pakistani friend in Chicago.
Immediately after 9/11, I nodded in ignorant agreement as President Bush assured me that "Islam is a religion of peace."
But nearly four years later, nobody can defend that statement. And I mean "nobody."
Certainly not the group of "moderate" Muslim clerics and imams who gathered in London last week to issue a statement on terrorism and their faith. When asked the question "Are suicide bombings always a violation of Islam," they could not answer "Yes. Always." Instead, these "moderate British Muslims" had to answer "It depends."
Precisely what it depends on, news reports did not say. Sadly, given our new knowledge of Islam from the past four years, it probably depends on whether or not you're killing Jews.
That is part of the state of modern Islam.
Thank you, Michael for your words of truth. You're bigger than the station, and we look forward to hearing you again soon.
I have no idea who this guy is, but i'm sure he'll be getting a dozen or more job offers in the near future.
We need more Americans like this guy.
I don't intend to be yanked around again. I spent lots of time composing thoughtful letters and emailing everyone I thought helpful, when this controversy began. Then Graham suddenly pulled the rug out and said everyone should STOP writing and protesting. Supposedly the message had been gotten and now people over there "can't do their jobs." No explanation of why doing their jobs is so much more important.
Now they've fired him, we're supposed to start protesting again? Gee, what if so many of us do, they can't do their jobs over there again?
Graham says, "This isn't about me." No, and it isn't about people doing their jobs over there either. So why did he tell us to stop writing protests?
Graham is likely to get a better job out of all this, and he's got 15,000 references to help him. I just hope he doesn't use them all in his next job application, it might make it impossible for someone to get any real work done.
I've e-mailed the station notifying them that I was boycotting them and would now receive the other shows I customarily listen to (Rush, Sean) either online or on their Baltimore Outlets.
It's a sad day for free speech and journalistic integrity, but I think the decision was made at higher corporate levels (i.e. Disney), not at the station itself.
The terror connection is there when a tenet that teaches as a basic practice jihad against nonbelievers and is promoted and encouraged by Islamic religious leaders.
The hell with emailing the radio station. Lets start a real campain to contact our Senators and Congressmen and demand an investigation of CAIR. If enough of us pound on them, it may get something started.

What causes fanaticism and why it is dangerous.The fanatic has an elitist view of himself. He holds a firm belief that he is "special" and has something that others, not like him, do not and that this unique "something" imparts an unquestionable and unassailable power to himself. Because of this basic self-view any disagreement with the elitist or any resistance to his actions causes anger. This "supreme" view of himself is an excuse for justifying his anger and thus justifying any act from deception to murder against those who disagree or refuse to comply with him. He is comfortable with hatred, revenge, lying or any gross deception in defense of his "superior" position and will act out against those who do resist or refuse to validate his view.
It is impossible to reason or negotiate with someone who holds the POV that they are morally and/or ethically superior by virtue of the belief that they are inherently so. Everything you do to accomodate his "concerns" (demands), short of complete capitulation, will be discounted due to your "inherent" inferiority. Any resistance to him, anything other than complete submission, becomes self-evident proof of his superiority. The elitist's POV presupposes the rationale of rightness and righteousness as inherent to himself by virtue of his personal belief not as a measure of the qualities of his actions or the resulting consequences. His belief that he is superior may hang on an ideology or philosophy but regardless of whether the doctrine supports his view or not he is simply never wrong about himself. Of course the opposite is true for non-elites in the fanatic's mindset. You can never be right if you're not one of the "righteous" simply because you are not. More precisely; you are not "him."
It should be obvious why a fanatic is dangerous. Any and all negative and evil acts can be justified on the basis of any disassociation with his self-view and the "inherent authority" he carries with that. The intent and motivations of an outsider are irrelevant no matter how positive. The results of an outsider's actions are irrelevant no matter how accomodating or constructive. The non-elites are always wrong because they don't hold or submit to the fanatic's view.
The world is full of fanatics of every kind and they can base their elitist self-view on any pretext. Some belong to large groups of "like-minded" fanatics and some are individuals who cling to the delusion that they alone are "special."
In today's world the United States in particular, and western civilization in general, is under a concerted assault from two separate groups of fanatic elitists. Fundamentalist Muslims and leftists. The Islamo-nazis and the Marxists. Both leftists and Islamo-fascists hold a firm belief that they have something that rednecks and infidels don't have that carries a special authority with it. For leftists it is "intellect" and "social sophistication" and for Islamo-nazis it's a "call from Allah," a "holy annointing."
Both groups are manifestations of a mass psychological disorder resulting in fanatic elitism. Both are extremely unstable and are unfounded upon and unaffected by reasoned logic. Convinced of their own "inherent" superiority they will both press their respective agendas as far as they can without regard for the consequences to themselves or to others. In both cases the blame for all of their actions will "logically" fall on the shoulders of others, the "outsiders." Negative consequences of their actions simply become another tool for self-vindication.
The fanatic elitist's mindset is like the mindset of a rabid dog. Nothing and no one that exists has any meaning other than being a validation of their power or a threat to it. Nothing can have any other meaning; their POV is, by design, set from the outset and purposely unchangeable by external influence of any kind. Change can only occur from within and this means a change in the "prime directive," the core premise of their relation to the world. Change requires the abdication of their most basic point of reference, their self-view, the view that they are unique in a superior, inherent and authoritarian way. This is a view that reasonable people must either completely reject or ultimately submit to. Those are the only choices the fanatic will leave to "the others."

Things are way out of kilter when you get fired for telling the truth and management won't back you up. I just don't understand why freedom of speech doesn't apply to everyone. Maybe CAIR can explain that.
I'm sure that CAIR would be most willing to come on WMAL and publicly repudiate in no uncertain terms the Islamic terrorists and all of those who support the terrorists and their objectives. Sure they would.
