Michael Savage tells Muslims 'take your religion and shove it up your behind'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on radio listeners of all faiths to contact companies that advertise on Michael Savage's nationally-syndicated radio program to express their concerns about the host's recent anti-Muslim tirade.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Savage, whose "The Savage Nation" airs on more than 300 radio stations nationwide, screamed attacks on Muslims, Islam and the Quran, Islam's revealed text, during his October 29, 2007, program. A number of concerned listeners contacted CAIR about Savage's attacks on Islam.
Savage's shouted anti-Muslim attacks included:
"I'm not gonna put my wife in a hijab. And I'm not gonna put my daughter in a burqa. And I'm not gettin on my all-fours and praying to Mecca. And you could drop dead if you don't like it. You can shove it up your pipe. I don't wanna hear anymore about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."
"What kind of religion is this? What kind of world are you living in when you let them in here with that throwback document in their hand, which is a book of hate. Don't tell me I need reeducation. They need deportation. I don't need reeducation. Deportation, not reeducation. You can take C-A-I-R and throw 'em out of my country. I'd raise the American flag and I'd get out my trumpet if you did it. Without due process. You can take your due process and shove it."
"What sane nation that worships the U.S. constitution, which is the greatest document of freedom ever written, would bring in people who worship a book that tells them the exact opposite. Make no mistake about it, the Quran is not a document of freedom. The Quran is a document of slavery and chattel. It teaches you that you are a slave."

Michael Savage has a long history of rhetorical attacks on Muslims and other minorities. In 2004, Savage stated: "I think [Muslims] need to be forcibly converted to Christianity...It's the only thing that can probably turn them into human beings." In 2006, he called for a ban on Muslim immigration and recommended making "the construction of mosques illegal in America."

"Michael Savage obviously cares little about the safety or civil rights of American Muslims, but the stations that carry his hate-filled rants do care about listeners' attitudes toward advertisers who pay to air commercials during his program," said CAIR Communications Coordinator Amina Rubin. "Americans of all faiths should take a few minutes to contact any local station that broadcasts Savage's inflammatory tirades to say they will not buy the goods or services of his advertisers."
Rubin added that hate-filled words can and do lead to violent actions against American Muslims. She said there have been several recent apparently bias-related incidents targeting mosques, Islamic institutions and Muslim individuals nationwide.
In Ohio, Nazi swastikas and the phrase "white power" were spray-painted on a Toledo Islamic school and rocks were thrown at worshipers outside a Columbus mosque. In Texas, a shot was fired into a mosque. In New York, a Muslim woman was badly beaten in a bias attack. In California, arsonists torched one mosque and a group of men attacked another. In Maryland, vandals slashed the tires of vehicles owned by a Muslim activist.
CAIR's latest annual report on the status of American Muslim civil rights showed a 25 percent increase in the total number of complaints of anti-Muslim bias from 2005 to 2006.

CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 33 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

He can go off the end of the deck from time to time, but so can anyone these days, it seems.
I have listened to him occasionally for years, before he went national, and before him, Jim Eason, whose slot he filled.
He’s done a lot for good causes including helping to defend the Marines who got railroaded in Iraq.
islam is not a religion, it's a form of government. We already have a form of government, a republic.
Mike takes more sick days than anybody else in radio. Why’s that?
Death threats, perhaps? It’s not easy being a lightning rod.
As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, Savage is a top contributor to Brown’s campaign against conservative state senator Chuck Poochigian. His gift of $5,600, the maximum allowable under state law.
For those outside Calif. This idiot supports a left wing democrat over a conservative republican.
this is typical of this wannabe.
When is news not news? When you have to pay to get it noticed.
Check the source for this "news:" PR Newswire, the ultimate media whoring outfit. They'll publish anything for you if you have the bucks.
In other words, since this is not legitimate "news," Ibrahim Hooper and CAIR had to resort to paying to spread their propaganda.
If it's from PR Newswire, it may be an idle curiosity, but it is most certainly not "news."
It's kinda of interesting... I've noticed most of the stuff put out by PR Newswire comes from the left. Maybe PR Newswire is a front for the DNC or Soros.
He could have the courtesy of dancin' with the one that brung him.
Great graphic! I agree with Savage. The Scuzzy Muzzies can stick it up their filthy stovepipes!
Thanks!
Western civilization and IslamoFascism are like oil and water,, they do not mix well, no matter how much one tries to blend them together.. Tolerance is, after all, just a word to “true believers”.
I have to get an early start tomorrow.. G’nite.
Support Savage's sponsors please and let them know not to cave in to pressure from CAIR.
a seasoned politicolyte like you shouldn’t go around carrying grudges. ;-)
like 5600 dollars would have changed the election anyway.
btw,, did you vote for arnie both times? I don’t recall, it’s been awhile.
Hmmmmm....those two things aren't inconsistent are they? Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard him state explicitly and unequivocally that Islam itself is the problem; from what I can gather he tends to go on tirades about Muslims when there's something particularly horrid in the news, but again I can't say that I've heard him express a Robert Spencer type opinion on Islam, which is what I'd tend to expect from him.
I don't listen to him regularly though and would be interested if anyone else could comment.
It looks like Savage had been reading Ann Coulter:
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."From
This Is War
We should invade their countries.

I listened to Savage for about six months. Then he started with the non-stop promotion of a book, and I stopped listening.
I tried watching his pMSNBC show, but that didn't last too long...
But yes, he did call Islam one of the world's "great" religions about five years ago.
The Jerry Brown donation is a case in point. Then it was good, now it's not good. Thompson's good today, tomorrow he'll get torched.
He is not an "independent" as has been suggested, the man's bipolar. he's a lunatic.
That's not to say, in this instance that I don't agree with him. The problem is that tomorrow, he'll get another wind up his skirt, and Islam will once again, according to Sybil Weiner, be one of the great religions of the world.
It's wise not to pay too much attention to The Weiner, for as the wind changes, so does he. Consistency is not his strong suit.
For those who want to win the War on Terror and get the real consrevative message listen to Mark Levin.
On the live Savage thread you are lucky to get 30 posts.
Mark Levin’s live FR thread has an average of 300+ posts everyday.
Mark in his 20s was in the Reagan Justice dept.
He is the founder of the Landmark Legal Foundation.
Mark is also a FReeper. and NO 1 in his time slot on WABC
Sybil Weiner .. lolol
FaiR enough. ;-)
It's not a big secret. They distribute press releases -- that's what they do and what they're there for. The "PR" at the beginning of the name should have been your first hint.
>Mike takes more sick days than anybody else in radio. Why’s
>that?
He puts his whole heart into it. He’s “real” as another poster put it.
