WTF. C4 to broadcast daily Muslim call to prayer during Ramadan next month

Who's the troll?

We are all trolls. There are no "normal" people here. Whatever normal is.

I have to make an admittedly rather haphazard judgment of which persons I should fear most; Mo and Hamed who both seem quite reasonable, or a chap on the internet who admires a Prussian Kaiser that ruled over genocide and kicked off a world war. Hmmm difficult choice.

Yeah. I think it is a difficult choice. The CIA/MI5/MI6, they are all on the hunt for German monarchists ready to blow themselves up in the Tube.

Very true. CIA/MI5/MI6 haven't got a department for silly, harmless loons yet, just dangerous loons.

I think this decision is disgraceful. After all there are so few TV channels to choose from. Most people are virtually forced into watching C4. .

You don't get it. This is a PR action by C4 to ingratiate themselves with the Muzz and make an statement of the sort: "look how multiculti and tolerant and open-minded and inclusive we are"

If instead they were broadcasting the summer conventions of the Jehovah's witnesses, people would think of them as creepy, backwards, reactionary, etc.

In Britain, the BBC and C4 set the Doxa, and the Doxa wants now Islam to be part of the mainstream.

I believe they have departments monitoring the activities of the extreme right, but when they look at KW they probably conclude he's more of a danger to himself than others.

Or they think they can make some money out of selling advertising slots during ramadan.

I wonder what William of Ockham would guess?

Yep, Doxa probably have quite a few customers in the Arab world, seeing as most other people can't afford the damn things.

I was thinking more of Islamic banking services or airlines like Etihad and Emirates; lots of money to be made in that market.

Reasonable behaviour?

I have no problem with anyone who goes about their business as a majority of muslims do but it makes my blood boil when we see people inciting hatred on UK streets with apparent impunity, when is our government going to grow some?

There must be a dedicated channel where the small minority (2%?) can have their program without controversially inflicting it on the vast majority? Or is that the point??
