RADIO SPOOF DRAWS SUPPORT FOR NAZI-LIKE TREATMENT OF U.S. MUSLIMS

WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/27/06) - A parody of anti-Muslim bigotry on a Washington, D.C., radio station drew support for treating American Muslims in a manner similar to how the Jewish community was targeted in Nazi Germany.

In his 630 WMAL program on Sunday, November 26, talk show host Jerry Klein seemed to advocate a government program to force all Muslims to wear “identifying markers.” He stated: “I’m thinking either it should be an arm band, a crescent moon arm band, or it should be a crescent moon tattoo.” (4:00) Klein said: “If it means that we have to round them up and do a tattoo in a place where everybody knows where to find it, then that’s what we’ll have to do.” (11:38)

He was joking, apparently. [link] — (includes stream of radio show)
