August 26, 2007Muslim Group Gets Ministry Program DroppedWell, it's begun. A Christian television ministry program has been dropped from a CBS affiliate in Tampa because of complaints from CAIR, The Council for American-Islamic Relations. The "Live Prayer with Bill Keller" program ran afoul of the pressure group by labeling Islam a "false relgiion" and suggesting that Islam is about "hate, lies and death." Naturally, CAIR is using the spectre of potential "hate crimes" to justify its concern: "It is our belief that anti-Islamic rhetoric like that used in 'Live Prayer with Bill Keller' is exactly the type of language that is likely to incite hate crimes against the American Muslim community," the letter said. World Net Daily has the whole story.
