Hey, I was named the Top Local Talk Host of 2004 by Radio and Records Magazine. I can say anything I want.
A Muslim civil liberties group demanded an apology yesterday from KFI Los Angeles talk host Bill Handel for allegedly making fun of a stampede that killed hundreds of Muslims during an annual pilgrimage. The Council on American-Islamic Relations asked for an apology from Handel, who allegedly made fun of the deaths during a Jan. 12 segment he called the "Annual Stampede Report." CAIR quoted Handel as saying, "This is Mahmoud Nolan. Hajj in the Sky. There is an accident ... Ali lost his sandal on the on-ramp to the Martin Luther King Jr. freeway ..." "The deaths of hundreds of people engaged in religious observances is no laughing matter," CAIR spokeswoman Sabiha Khan said in a statement. "KFI needs to distance itself from Mr. Handel's unbelievable insensitivity by issuing a formal apology and a reprimand."
