Brent Bozell: Michael Graham, spiked by ABC: "Michael Graham, a popular talk-radio host on ABC-owned WMAL in Washington, D.C., publicly declared that 'Islam is a terror organization.' Under pressure from a radical Islamic group, ABC fired him.
Left alone as a sentence, Graham's charge is a wild overgeneralization. But he didn't utter a sentence. He delivered an entire series of oral essays over a four-day period exploring the point.
Graham plainly stated in print and on the air that he had 'great sympathy for Muslims of good will who want their faith to be a true 'religion of peace.' I believe that terrorism and murder do violate the sensibilities and inherent decency of the vast majority of the world's Muslims.' But his main point was unquestionably clear and disturbing: Millions of Muslims refuse to condemn terrorists in their midst and tell pollsters that suicide bombings and other acts of terror are defensible."
