Minneapolis Station Apologizes For 'Muslim Jeopardy' Comedy Skit

I for one, wish all True Muslims well. After all I have a pork roast every week-end and invite all Muslims to share my food and friendship. I may not be politically correct, but, I have one great All-American Barbeuce.

Enough is enough, if the Muslim community going to dictate what we can see and hear now? This is BS, we do have a thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH! If we let them continue on the present course we will all have to convert to Islam, or perish by the sword, such a peaceful non-violent religion. If they don't like it, let them go back from where they came.

What a crock of BS. Are we not allowed the freedom to say anything we want.
I want all Muslims to go back to where they came from because you know they are only here to start their Jihad on our own soil. People need to take a good look around them and see what is going on. Now we have a Muslim running for, I believe, Senator in Minnestoa. That can't happen because he will be the beginning of the end for life as we know it in America. The Muslims will declare their power through him and we will be beheaded if we do not submit to their beliefs. I for one will not relinquish my head without a damned good fight. Honestly America, we all need to wake up. Our government won't allow Christians to pray publicly or in schools, but every other religion is allowed to do so???
One more thought.. Muslims get pissed off at the sight of anyone who doesn't look like them so there is never going to be an end to their taking offense to anything we say or do. So I vote for them to leave our fine country if they can't take a joke...This radio station should never have apologized just as the Pope should have never apologized.!!

Maybe if Muslims had a sense of humor they wouldn't be wanting to make war on the rest of the world. Don't they realize that the western world does have prisons and we do shoot back?

Of course our President has a great sense of humor....he wanted to give them legal control over our sea ports. Hmm...maybe that wasn't humor just stupidity.

Last year, Fox's "Mad TV" show had a skit involving a supposed Al-Jazeerah game show called "The Price is Right--or the Streets will Run Red with Your Blood." The Rod Roddy-type announcer would say that the prize can be yours if "The Price is Right--and Death to America!" The sketch was hilarious. I don't understand why KDWB-FM is falling all over itself apologizing for the clever humor by its DJ. If this censorship is allowed, we might as well muzzle all of our comedic DJs. They will have nothing to say if they can't subject people and issues to satirical treatment.

Please! Welcome to the First Amendment. These guys can say whatever they want and the Council on American-Islamic Relations can just like it. Get a sense of humor for God's sake.

if muslims and islamists find our humor offensive, then go the hell back to where ever you came from. We, as Americans, or anyone for that matter, should not have to bow down and worry about the content of anything that is considered humor...IT'S HUMOR, GET IT ? I'm so sick and tired of all this political correctness ***...It's gone too far and we need to be ourselves.. if you're offended then turn the *** channel and listen to the new message from Ali-Ben Babba or whoever you Want to listen to...no one makes you listen if it's offensive..

jehogan, you hit the nail on the head. When was the last time any media outlet or entertainer apologized for offending Christians?

On the other hand, I am glad to see that maybe someone understand that freedom of speech does not dismiss freedom of responsibility for what is said. Of course.....I doubt that the apology had anything to do with that. Maybe...but I suspect jehogan is right...they're afraid of being blown up...not afraid of having used free speech irresponsibly.

I found cantshutup using vulgar words offensive. But I'm not telling him to apologize, I think it would be a better strategy for him to not cuss; but it's his choice to write it: and my choice to read it. Why are Muslims listening to anti-muslim rheotoric? You would think they would listen to something else, but no...

this is the website for CAIR if you are so inclined to let them know what you think...you know, this has got me thinking...it seems like during WWII when the US was rounding up Japanese Americans it was mostly due to unchecked hysteria and over reaction...but now that that we have this muslim sensitivity issue and the question of trust and our security...if the US decided to round up all the muslims in America, i don't think there'd be much of an outcry, probably a lot of relief!!!
btw, there is also an ANTI-CAIR website you can find if you google it...
