A BRISBANE radio station may have to explain why it should keep its licence after an announcer was accused of making anti-Islamic comments.

Former Victorian police officer, now 4BC drive-time announcer, Michael Smith called for Muslim women who wear an Islamic hijab in public to be fined for offensive behaviour, The Courier-Mail reports.

He made the remarks on-air and on the 4BC website, saying: "Any reasonable person would find this offensive."

Islamic Council of Queensland president Suliman Sabdia said Mr Smith's remarks amounted to "a clear case of intolerance".

Islam itself is offensive. It should be condemned in only the harshest terms.

My father in law’s funeral is this Saturday. He was a dedicated Christian most of his long life and his service will reflect that.

If my husband’s cousin, a former Christian turned Hairy Fishnut turned muslim, shows up in her terrorwear, she will be shown the door.

By my husband.

Line me up for the OFFENSE Police... after seeing many of these Islamic Women.. a Hijab is the LEAST they should wear.

Until Muslims start turning in the Terrorist SCUM, or at best.. dropping their BODIES off at local Police, They have NO RIGHT TO BE OFFENDED!!

If he said Nuns should be fined for wearing the habit, no one would have noticed.

When will these idiots learn that only white males, Conservatives, and Christians can be mocked with impunity?
