Talk Show Host Calls Islam a Terror Organization

In a case where the words in an article sound worse than reality, Washington, DC-based talk show host Michael Graham drew anger from the Council on American-Islamic Relations when Graham called Islam a terrorist organization.

What Graham also said, however, was that even though most Muslims were not terrorists, most terrorists have been Muslims. He also cites the failure of the majority of imams to condemn terrorist tactics. Graham used the following analogy:

"If the Boy Scouts of America had 1,000 Scout troops, and 10 of them practiced suicide bombings, then the BSA would be considered a terrorist organization. If the BSA refused to kick out those 10 troops, that would make the case even stronger. If people defending terror repeatedly turned to the Boy Scout handbook and found language that justified and defended murder --and the scoutmasters responded by saying 'Could be' -- the Boy Scouts would have been driven out of America long ago.

Today, Islam has whole sects and huge mosques that preach terror. Its theology is openly used to give the murderers their motives. Millions of its members give these killers comfort. The question isn't how dare I call Islam a terrorist organization, but rather why more people do not."
