Now Is the Time for All Good Men and Women to Come to the Aid of their Country...

What is happening to Michael Graham, former talk show host at WMAL in Washington, DC, over on-air remarks made about Islam is coming to a television and radio station near you, and to the presses of America--UNLESS WE PUSH BACK AND DO SO RIGHT NOW.

Over the weekend, while preparing an article on this issue, I reread everything I could regarding what Mr. Graham said and what has been said about him. I found exactly one, tiny historical error about the early history of Islam. That was it! Everything he said about the nature and intent of Islam IS AND WAS TRUE, PROVABLE, AND TOTALLY VERIFIABLE.

Mr. Graham ran afoul of the Islamic propaganda machine and its legion of brown shirts, under the direction of CAIR (Council for American-Islamic Relations) and the Stockholm syndrome of dhimmitudinous thinking coming from radio station WMAL, ABC, and the Walt Dhimmi Company. What is happening to Mr. Graham is not only a disgusting moral travesty for corporate cowards, it is OPEN WAR ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. If successful, its success will propel groups like CAIR to link arms with our Bill of Rights destroying Supreme Court and Leftist senators to strip out talk radio and all other forms of free speech.

This is a big time issue and it deserves the fullest backing by Americans who want to preserve and protect our republic "for which it stands." This morning, Jewish World Review, which has made it very easy to register citizen protests, says that far too few have used its easy mechanism:

CAIR SUCCEEDING AT INTIMIDATING ABC/DISNEY

The Muslim "defense group" that has been linked to some extraordinarily "controversial" Islamics has managed to get JWR columnist Michael Graham booted from the air. Given their success, they will no doubt begin targeting other talk show hosts across the fruited plain who dare to express opinions that many patriotic/non-PC Americans know to be the truth.

On Friday, we requested that our readers please take a moment and send a note to WMAL's management via our EASY TO USE TECHNOLOGY that we set up as a sidebar at http://jewishworldreview.com/0705/graham_booted.php3. CAIR's followers, after all, told THEIR sympathizers to bombard the station, which is why Mike is off the air to begin with. Many of our readers responded. TOO MANY DID NOT.

PLEASE spend a moment to write a note --- and SPREAD THE WORD!

Doing so will help keep freedom of speech alive and protect talk radio. This is NOT a local issue.The War on Terror has spread to talk radio. It's one we can't allow ourselves to lose due to inaction.

For the record, we have sent a number of messages from the WMAL radio site (www.630WMAL.com) to the general manager. In the last week of July 2005, we posted four blogs on Sixth Column to provide consderable background and current information about the Michael Graham issue, and those are also available in the July 2005 blog archives (easily accessible).

Andrew Whitehead, a modern day hero in this battle against "terror" and director of the ACAIR or Anti-CAIR website (see our blog of 1 August 2005 on Sixth Column) published more intellectual ammunition on Front Page Magazine on 1 August 2005. ABC Disney Capitulates to Hamas-Sponsored Group, August 1, 2005.

One of the points that WMAL allowed itself to be dhimmied by is the CAIR-instigated fatwa against terrorism. Andrew Whitehead puts that into perspective (from the same article):

Ironically, CAIR announced today that a group of US Muslim scholars were issuing a fatwa against terrorism. In an ironic twist, according to Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR, the fatwa was issued in part due to criticism from talk radio hosts like Michael Graham.

The fatwa, signed by many Muslims with suspicious ties to terrorism, appears to be nothing but a smokescreen, designed to provide political coverage to groups like CAIR who are increaseingly coming under scrutiny from law enforcement. When we consider it took almost four years for the fatwa to be issued, we have to ask why did it take so long?

The fatwa says much about “extremism” and “terrorism”, but does not define what they are. In addition, Muzammil H. Siddiqi, head of the Fiqh Council, says "Suicide bombing is forbidden in Islam'' but doesn’t define what suicide bombing is. These are important questions when we observe that numerous such fatwa’s issued worldwide in the past several years have done nothing to stop either suicide attacks nor terrorist attacks committed in the name of Islam.

Considering CAIR’s checkered past, why were they allowed to place their name on the fatwa in the first place? Both Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad are both founders and former officials of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP).

Where are the names of the terrorist organizations and personalities in the fatwa? Is it possible CAIR did not want to offend their fellow travelers in Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and Hizbollah? Or could it be that, in CAIR’s opinion, that the only terrorists are Israel and the United States?

Then, in summary, Mr. Whitehead, like JWR, looks the truth squarely in the eye:

CAIR’s attack on Graham is an insult to all Americans who value the truth for several reasons. First, he didn’t say anything that isn’t true; secondly, he didn’t offer gratuitious pot-shots at Islam designed to inflame or incite hate; finally, CAIR has rarely failed to miss an opportunity to insult America…for them to claim Graham has insulted Islam is beyond laughable…it is disengenous…and dangerous, if CAIR gets its way.

To contact ABC Radio in Washington and express your opinion about their decision to cave into pressure from CAIR, call the General Manager, Chris Berry, at 202-686-3100 or email feedback@630wmal.com. Andrew Whitehead is the head of Anti-Cair (www.anti-cair-net.org) and a contributing writer to the Israel Resource News Agency.

Now, get ready to have your cake frosted with something you would rather not eat. Over the weekend, CAIR's emails to its androids stated:

(Emphasis mine)

We Americans are at a watershed moment in our history. On 23 June 2005, the Supreme Court abrogate the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Now CAIR, et al, seek to abrogate the First Amendment.

The pen is still mightier than the sword. The electronic pen is the most powerful one ever. Use it, and use it over and over and over. WMAL, ABC, and the Walt Dhimmi Company are stuffed full of politically correct dhimmis. Let's not people like this, and CAIR et al, determine our futures.
