In the glorious Caliphate, ruled by shari’a law and administered by the Council on American Islamic Relations, infidel humor will be double plus ungood: Radio station apologizes for skit. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

Top 40 radio station KDWB-FM in the Twin Cities has apologized for an on-air comedy skit called “Muslim Jeopardy.”

The skit included an announcer using a fake South Asia accent introducing contest categories such as “infamous infidels” and “potent portables,” according to the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, which said it had received complaints about the skit.

The skit also included a threat to behead a female host when she got an answer wrong, CAIR said.

On Monday, the station’s Web site contained a short apology: “KDWB does not condone making light of Islam and Muslims. We regret that listeners found the Muslim Jeopardy comedy skit of one of our on-air hosts to be insensitive.”

CAIR issued a statement on Monday applauding the station’s response.
