ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - A Muslim civil liberties group demanded an apology Thursday from the host of a Los Angeles-area radio show for making fun of a stampede that killed hundreds of Muslims during an annual pilgrimage.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations asked for an apology from KFI-AM 640 host Bill Handel, who allegedly made fun of the deaths during a Jan. 12 segment he called the "Annual Stampede Report."
A spokeswoman for KFI, which is owned by Clear Channel Communications, did not immediately return a message left Thursday. Handel's producer, Michelle Kube, also did not return calls for comment. Handel had left work for the day and attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.
At least 363 pilgrims were killed and hundreds injured in a stampede that day in Mecca, where thousands of people were rushing to carry out a symbolic ritual of stoning the devil in Mina.
According to CAIR, Handel imitated the people screaming and then joked that the Muslims at the pilgrimage should use a helicopter to monitor pilgrimage traffic, as is done in Los Angeles with the freeways.
CAIR quoted Handel as saying, "This is Mahmoud Nolan. Hajj in the Sky. There is an accident ... Ali lost his sandal on the on-ramp to the Martin Luther King Jr. freeway ..."
In March 2004, KFI issued an on-air apology after CAIR filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission following a skit that claimed Muslims have sex with animals, don't bathe and hate Jews.

I agree.......when CAIR personally appologizes to me for the towel heads celebrating 9/11 then we'll square up....until then they can kiss my ever-lovin' -ss.
I guess we could do our part by saying all non-PC things. I'm never PC when it comes to Islam and my friends like it. Here's an example:
Muzzies don't eat pork because they don't eat their ancestors.
During the O.J. years, Handel was the only friend Furhman had.
I don't think Handel gives a rat's behind what others think.
What is Arabic for "Bite Me, Abdul!"?
Moo-slims......
As peculiar, bizzare and outright self-Darwinistic this tradtion is, it's not really that respectful to make fun of the deaths of 300 people. He should be respectful and apologize.
CAIR is just making an issue to make an issue ~ plenty of Moslems object to the nasty way the Saudis run the two Holy Mosques and have demanded reform.
I agree and just reading the words "Annual Stampede Report" made me laugh out loud.
Every Halloween Handel does his bit on Necrophilia, the Victimless Crime. That one never fails to get folks riled up.
Hey, there's this Interstate highway between Buffalo and Rochester NY. They regularly have 500 car pileups with the first show whitehout of the year.
CAIR = Saudi funded pro-islam propaganda organization with members who openly support palestinian suicide bombers.
Are they sure that this wasn't part of the regular news? No, I guess that's not news.
Can't stand the truth?
Well here is another "slander": Some Muslim men even have sex with (gasp!) MUSLIM WOMEN!
(But only when they aren't worn out from raping "Western sluts".)

Geeze, a DOUBLE insult.</I> I don't know if I should apologize for the finger-stutter, or not.
"Hey, Achmed, there's an unguarded herd of goats in the next valley. Let's run over there and screw one!"
"Abdul, that is a terrible idea; SHAME on you! If we WALK, we can save our strength, and screw them all!"
"Allahu Fubar, Achmed! You are a pearl wisdom in the Profit's (Pig-poop be upon him) ear!"
Respectful? Why.
300 fewer enemies.
They're only our enemies if they activley intend to take up arms against our soldiers or our people.
Don't you back down an inch, Bill.
This type of extortion has to stop somewhere.
We are all being made into enuchs trying to be "politically correct".
Stop the madness. Nothing you can say would be enough apology for thes3e creeps, anyway.
