(CLEVELAND, OH, 1/25/07) – Representatives of the Cleveland Chapter of CAIR-OHIO joined a live discussion of the TV series “24” on the “Bob Franz” morning radio talk show on ClearChannel’s WTAM 1100. The show’s topic was the portrayal of Muslims on FOX’s “24.”  CAIR-OHIO challenged the radio host’s premise that the images of Muslims on 24 did not have a negative impact on American perceptions of their Muslim neighbors.

Before CAIR joined the show on air, the host challenged listeners to call in and explain why they are afraid to live next door to Muslims. CAIR officials protested the call-in challenge as incitement. During the 3-hour show, CAIR defended Islam and Muslims and CAIR’s record of promoting peace and justice.
