Truth about Islam is Offensive

From the Leftist "Media Matters":

"On the August 8 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Peter Boyles Show, guest host Lou Pate joined a caller in denigrating Muslims and the Islamic faith. Pate asserted that Muslims "don't respect women at all" and joked that "they're a peaceful, benevolent, kind people, the Muslims are ... [I]f they like you, they'll cut your head off with one swing instead of a jagged edge that takes seven or eight."

Pate also agreed with the caller's description of the Muslim community as "a sick race"; said the "Muslim community ... [is] a violent community," adding, "They have honor killings ... that they condone. They will kill ... their own wives; they will kill their own daughters"; and claimed that "genital mutilation [is] quite common there."

As Colorado Media Matters noted, while guest-hosting the January 26 broadcast of Newsradio 850 KOA's The Gunny Bob Show, Pate also repeatedly denigrated Muslims, claiming that Islam is "a violent religion" that "condones the killing of innocents."

Seems to me that news reports confirm almost daily the truth of what Pate said (Latest here). But according to Arab American News it is "hate speech".

Let me coin a slogan here: "Truthful speech is not hate speech"
