Mission
The Radio Islam
History
In September 1973
During it's very first years a number of well-known Swedish intellectuals and (often pro-Palestinian) writers participated in the radio, such as Per Gahrton, Jan Guillou and Jan Myrdal. With the exception of Myrdal (who also dissociated from Rami, but later) these individuals early on distanced themselves from Rami, dissociated from, and spoke out against Rami and Radio Islam.[7][8] In 1990 Rami was sentenced to 6 months in prison for hate speech, and Radio Islam's transmission permit was revoked for a year. The station resumed broadcasting in 1991 under the direction of the Swedish Nazi David Janzon; however, in 1993 Janzon was convicted of the same crime.
In May 1992 newspaper
Radio Islam was off the air from 1993 to 1995, but the program returned in 1996 under Rami's direction, the same year that he established the Radio Islam website. Rami was again convicted and fined by the Swedish court in October 2000. Rami has been investigated for hate crimes in France and Sweden for his role in maintaining the Radio Islam website. The latest investigation ended in 2004 when the Swedish prosecutor was unable to prove that Rami was responsible for the content.

Holocaust denial
Radio Islam denies that the Holocaust took place.[14] Their website describes the Holocaust as a "hoax" fabricated by Zionists, as a pretext for the establishment of an Israeli state.[14]
Criticism
A 2003 report commissioned by the
Namesake Confusion
It bears no relationship to RadioIslam.com,[19] a website live streaming a daily Muslim talk radio program on public affairs. Radio Islam airs in Chicago on WCEV 1450 AM every day from 6-7 PM CST.[20] It is produced by Sound Vision Foundation.[21] Its executive producer is Abdul Malik Mujahid who also chairs the board of Parliament of the World's Religions. There are also two other websites bearing the "radioislam" address: radioislam.org.za and radioislam.org.mw, which are based in South Africa and Malawi respectively, and cover matters relating to Islam from their own perspectives. The former location of the website (and previously radio station) referred to on this page – radioislam.org – has been changed to islam-radio.net, presumably to avoid confusion.
