[edit] Dispute with Muslim group

He is involved in a freedom of speech dispute with CAIR in August 2005 for a comment he made to his listeners on air:[2]:

And by the way, let me just add a sidebar here that's significant, and everybody forgets this, but according to the Quran, believers in Islam are not required to tell infidels, and that's us, the truth. So they apparently have permission to lie when it is appropriate"

In its press release, CAIR did not refute the substance of Metcalf's comments, instead it called on area Muslims to put pressure on WMAL's advertisers regarding "the incitement of anti-Muslim hatred caused by its talk show hosts."[3]
