Al Rantel of KABC Compares Turban to Diaper
Radio Commentator, Al Rantel, host of a daily program on Los Angeles radio station KABC 790AM, was discussing airport security on September 10, 2007, when he said:
If my 80-year-old mother has to take off her shoes during a security screening "then why shouldn’t a Sikh be required to take off the hat that looks like a diaper they wear on their heads?”
SALDEF urges you to show your support in asking Mr. Rantel to issue an on-air public apology to the Sikh American community. Add your name to the petition, demanding Mr. Rantel apologize for his comments comparing a religious article to shoes and diaper.
