Typical.
CAIR focuses on the possibility that what the host said might incite
hatred -- he does this in order to deflect attention from the truth of
what the host said.
It is considered a Good Thing for Muslims to lie to infidels in order to
further their purposes.
Additionally, CAIR does not want you to know that many non-Muslims
(excuse me, infidels) called the show to speak favorably of their Muslim
friends, neighbors, and acquaintances.
If you want to know about inciting to hatred, just listen to the Muslims
in London as they call for killing all Brits who are not Muslim.
