Demand resignation of Boston radio host who wants to "kill all Muslims"
Boston-area radio talk show host Jay Severin said "Let's kill all
Muslims"
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called for the
termination of a Boston-area radio talk show host who allegedly
said, "Let's kill all Muslims."

CAIR made that demand after receiving a complaint from a concerned
Muslim who heard WTKK-FM (www.969fmtalk.com) host Jay Severin's
Thursday afternoon program. WTKK-FM General Manager Matt Mills told
CAIR that in a discussion about how Severin claims Muslims want to
take over America, even if it takes centuries, Severin said, "I've
got an idea, let's kill all Muslims."

"I have spoken to Jay Severin and he knows we take this seriously and
do not condone offensive remarks toward any religious groups and he
will be apologizing on his show Monday afternoon," said Mills in an e-
mail. "He did not intend to offend anyone."

An apology isn't good enough:

1. "He didn't mean to offend anyone"
Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 10:16 PM by DeposeTheBoyKing
Gee, what part of "Let's kill all Muslims" wouldn't OFFEND anyone? I guess he wants to kill me even though I've never even met the man (or vampire, which he resembles). This THING is a disgrace who doesn't deserve to clean my shoes!

EDIT: For what it's worth, I e-mailed the station. Thanks for posting the link.

If a Muslim said, "Let's kill all Christians" or "Let's kill all Jews," he would be branded a terrorist and would be visited by the FBI. Why is it tolerable for this jerk to make this sort of statement about Muslims?

6. always with the victim complex

why is it that fundamentalist christians suffer from a victim complex?
they always act like they are persecuted when they can't shove their beliefs down other people's throats.
