Islam Advertises On Conservative Talk Radio Now?
I just learned today that WhyIslam.Org has been conducting an advertising campaign on conservative talk radio. This afternoon I jumped into my truck and the radio came on as I turned the key. The dial was tuned to the news on my regular AM talk station. Then, an ad came on for WhyIslam.com. It was a bit disconcerting to hear an ad promoting Islam on of all places, conservative talk radio. Isn't that just a bit odd? It is kind of like NPR carrying an advertisement promoting A Michael Savage or Ann Coulter book. Just imagine the frothing at the mouth and wails of protest from the left if that were to happen.
WhyIslam.org has been conducting a two-week radio ad campaign on two radio stations that I listen to. They are KFBK 1530AM, and KSTE 650AM. Both broadcast out of Sacramento, about 80 miles from where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can only guess at the serious lack of conservative talk stations in the SF Bay Area market. Aside from KSFO 560AM, there is not a whole lot to choose from. I digress.
WhyIslam.Org began its ad campaign on August 18. The campaign was to last for two weeks. I can only hope the campaign is over and will not start up again. As one who listens to conservative (KSTE AM 650) talk radio, I found this to be quite offensive in light that the anniversary of 9/11 is coming up and of the CAIR attacks upon Michael Savage.
Is this some prelude to Obama's FCC enforcing some kind of fairness for advertising only on conservative talk or Christian radio? Are the adherents of Islam testing the waters to see who they can impose their advertisements on with a little Obama administration and Dem dominated Congress muscle backing them? One can only guess.
I find it interesting that Clear Channel Communications, Inc. the owner of KSTE and KFBK sold the ad time on the two talk radio stations that carry one or more of the following talk show hosts: Clark Howard, Dr. Laura, The Savage Nation, Armstrong & Getty, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Talk about a slap in the face to their listeners!
A suggestion to WhyIslam.Org; Take it to the Air America Radio Network where they are very desperate for the advertising revenue. Besides, Air America's Kool Aid drunken audience (All 9 listeners, nationwide) is far less discriminating in what and whom they listen too. Maybe WhyIslam.Org would find a more receptive audience at Air America, and they would get more bang for their buck, too.

It is, once again, "all about the money". Moral principles don't count for much these days.
