Top 40 radio station KDWB-FM in the Twin Cities has apologized for an on-air comedy skit called "Muslim Jeopardy."

The skit included an announcer using a fake South Asia accent introducing contest categories such as "infamous infidels" and "potent portables," according to the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, which said it had received complaints about the skit.

The skit also included a threat to behead a female host when she got an answer wrong, CAIR said.

"We are offended, God willing. Allah Akbar."

LOL, especially as I imagine it in a "South Asian" accent.

Man I am getting sick of this "muslims are offended" crap. I don't get to the airport often, but when I do I will have a booze bottle or something similar in plain sight.

So the new NBC show Studio 60 has references to a comedy skit called Crazy Christians and that is ok?!

What happened with the car dealership that was going to have Fatwah Friday? I think lambasting the Mooslims with humor is great - it points out the fact that, here in America, Americans like to laugh at theselves. If you can't then you aren't and probably shouldn't be an American. I like the idea of whacking them with humor. Bunch of sour-pusses.

Those head choppers have no sense of humor! None. Wet blankets, all of them.

Comedy skit? Sounds like "reality radio" to me.

I don't like to make fun of other people's religions, but I'm not interested in spending my life in a "straitjacket", either.

Assimilation into US society requires a sense of humor! They need to assimilate.

No. They don't need to assimilate. They need to leave. All of them.

I hope someone is watching their back for them. I have heard of radio personalities being attacked and murdered.
