Title: Embrace peace and renounce bigotry

Savage is reviving the culture of the Inquisition ..

Let's not confuse free speech with fundamentalism & ethnic hatred.

Dear sisters and brothers, please beware of this very dangerous person called Michael Savage aka Michael Alan Weiner who's a highly conservative American talk radio host.  With his extreme hatred for the Noble Quraan and his ardent desire to spread his ridiculous misinterpretations about this Glorious Book, he is dragging America towards the horrific culture of the medieval Inquisition and the fascism of Nazi Germany.  He is the author of the book 'Savage Nation.' This far right-wing talk-show host broadcasts his fundamentalism from San Francisco nationwide.  In a 2004 broadcast, this man said Muslims should be converted forcibly to Christianity. Just like all misguided extremists, Michael Savage too is unable to comprehend his thoroughly uncivilized behaviour and considers his gross belligerence as a one-man mission to save America from its enemies at home and abroad. 

To learn more about this man's verbal hate crimes that will obviously give rise to physical hate crimes against minorities in North America, kindly read the news brief below issued by the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the well known Muslim civil rights organization of North America.

Michael Savage has by now made himself well-known as a savage.  He's correct when he says he doesn't need education.  He's too far gone for it.  He needs medical help and a high-security lock-up in a madhouse.

Thanks for this alert, sis zeyn.  I hope our readers take full note of it. 

Assalaam Alaykum and peace to all.
