LOS ANGELES RADIO STATION SQUARES-OFF WITH MUSLIM GROUP
Mon Jan 30 2006 10:10:49 ET

Los Angeles's top talkradio station is under fire from a Muslim group
because of comments made earlier this month by morning man Bill Handel. The
Council on American-Islamic Relations has demanded an apology from Handel
for making fun of a stampede that killed hundreds of Muslims during an
annual pilgrimage.

But Handel is set to fire back, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Handel will apologize IF the Council on American-Islamic Relations:

1) Decries all acts of terror (described specifically, not generally)

2) Agrees that Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to defensible
borders

3) CAIR has no ties of any sort, financially or otherwise, to any terror
orgs or individiuals.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

KFI-AM does not condone making light of the deaths of people engaged in
religious observances. We regret that listeners found the comments of one of
our on-air hosts to be insensitive. KFI does not censor its hosts, nor does
it tell them what to say or not to say. KFI is a strong and passionate
believer in 1st amendment rights and that is at the very core of this radio
station.
