A conservative radio host who was fired by a Washington station after he called Islam a terrorist organization will host a talk show in Boston

Associated Press:

Michael Graham was fired in August by WMAL-AM because he refused to apologize for saying on-air "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam," following the London subway bombings.

"I stand by it," Graham, 42, told the Boston Herald on Monday.

Following a two-week tryout, the former standup comedian and GOP political consult officially took over Monday as WTKK-FM's afternoon drive host, replacing Jay Severin.

"I think he's a very bright guy," said Peter Smyth, chief executive of Greater Media, which owns WTKK. He said audience response to Graham had so far been "incredibly positive."

Islamic groups said they're disappointed with the decision to hire Graham.

"When you describe one-fifth of the world's population to be a member of a terrorist organization, that amounts to bigotry," said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The group was the first to call for Graham's firing from WMAL and Hooper said it will be closely monitoring his new show in Boston for similar comments.

Kudos to WTKK for standing up to Islamic censorship.
