A top 40 radio station in Minnesota aired a skit called Muslim Jeopardy that appears to have ruffled a few feathers:
The skit included an announcer using a fake South Asia accent introducing contest categories such as “infamous infidels” and “potent portables,” according to the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, which said it had received complaints about the skit.
The skit also included a threat to behead a female host when she got an answer wrong…
Then, according to the Star Tribune, the radio station “apologized”:
On Monday, the station’s Web site contained a short apology: “KDWB does not condone making light of Islam and Muslims. We regret that listeners found the Muslim Jeopardy comedy skit of one of our on-air hosts to be insensitive.”
CAIR was satisfied:
CAIR issued a statement on Monday applauding the station’s response.
Is it just me, or is the non-apology apology taking the place of the apology?
As for this “apology,” I don’t think it’s the last we’ve heard of this issue. Stay tuned.
