Coulter Column Criticized

NEW YORK The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today asked newspapers to consider dropping Ann Coulter after her March 3 column that implied Muslims "smell bad."

None of Coulter's approximately 50 clients have complained about the column so far, according to Universal Press Syndicate Director of Communications Kathie Kerr.

In the column, Coulter wrote: "Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity (as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed')."
