Emails Flood WMAL

When CAIR launched its campaign to get Michael Graham kicked off of WMAL radio in Washington, DC, it managed to win a suspension, without pay, for the talk show host who called modern Islam a "terrorist organization." Graham wrote that in a column in Jewish World Review (see this post from yesterday, or scroll down).

But word now is that CAIR's campaign amounted to, at most, a few hundred emails and phone calls to the station. Graham's supporters, on the other hand, have responded with a huge campaign of their own, and Graham reports this morning that over 10,000 fans have emailed or called WMAL to demand his reinstatement. He says that, although the station hasn't contacted him, the "back chatter is getting much more positive."

Stay tuned.

Update: Judith Apter Klinghoffer, who linked to and commented on yesterday's post by DP contributor Gordon Cucullu, has no sympathy for CAIR, but thinks Graham stepped over the line with his comments. She argues, too, that applying the Geneva Conventions to terrorists would be a major error. She blogs at the History News Network.
