Michael Graham

"It appears that ABC Radio has caved to an organization that condemns talk radio hosts like me, but has never condemned Hamas, Hezbollah, and one that wouldn't specifically condemn al-Qaida for three months after 9-11.

The rest of his analogy while correct, and as said is pretty short-sighted and can be brushed away. However, I agree with him on this point absolutely. If these organizations spent more time criticizing those who kill, oppress, censor, and terrorize in general in the name of Islam (or any religon for that matter), instead of those speaking out against the terrorists themselves; many of the problems today in regards to culture clashing and civil-liberty invasion wouldn't exist because a better sense of who the enemy is would be produced. In short, groups like CAIR need to condemn the killers, not those whom speak out against the killers.

PS: I just moved from DC 2 weeks ago of which I had I lived in for 3 years--can't say I recognize the name Michael Graham, although I do remember hearing this story quite awhile back.

My apologies, i thought more were familiar with this. the whole debate is not about his analogy to the boy scouts but rather how and why he called islam a terrorist organization.

here's a bit more:

According to WMAL, Graham said "Islam is a terrorist organization" 23 times on his July 25 program. On the same show, he also said repeatedly that "moderate Muslims are those who only want to kill Jews" and that "the problem is not extremism. The problem is Islam."

“Because of the mix of Islamic theology that—rightly or wrongly—is interpreted to promote violence, added to an organizational structure that allows violent radicals to operate openly in Islam’s name with impunity, Islam has, sadly, become a terrorist organization. It pains me to say it. But the good news is it doesn’t have to stay this way, if the vast majority of Muslims who don’t support terror will step forward and re-claim their religion.”
