MINNEAPOLIS -- Top 40 radio station KDWB-FM in Minneapolis has apologized for an on-air comedy skit called "Muslim Jeopardy."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said the skit included an announcer using a fake accent to introduce contest categories such as "infamous infidels" and "smells like a Shia" -- and threatend to behead a female contestant who got an answer wrong.
Monday, the station's Web site said: "KDWB does not condone making light of Islam and Muslims."
