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

[Mich the Tester]

There must be a dedicated channel where the small minority (2%?) can have their program

Erm, yeah, that'll be Channel 4.

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

The French have an expression, "chiens de garde" (watch dogs) for those who defend/shield the establishment and the status quo from criticism. You are rather a "buffoon de garde".

Oh no, the pickelhaube has called me a buffoon!

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??

Are you then asking for an UKIP/BNP-friendly channel?

Yes, please!

It maybe a minority channel but I had no idea C4 viewers were exclusively muslim.

Ill mutter some thing longer later when i get on a keyboard but you are kidding yourselves if you think modern Islam only wishes to limit itself to a personal faith and community religion. Head in sand stuff.

which version of Islam are you referring to?

Define "modern Islam".

Shia Islam?
Sunni Islam?
Sufi Islam?
Reformist
Wahabi
Salafist
Ismaili

Yep, but C4 viewers aren't exclusively anything. Do they show US Wrestling on C4? Does that suggest their viewers are 'exclusively wrestling fans'?

Come on, you're all getting your knickers in a twist about an attempt by a largely commercially funded TV station to generate some revenue; that's what commercial TV stations do.

[KaiserWilly]

Yes, please!

I think Sky carries FoxNews USA, but there is no FoxNews UK in the pipeline, AFAIK.

In Italy they came up with a witty solution: they distributed the channels among the political spectrum, RAI1 went to the Christiandemocrats, RAI2 to the Communists, RAI3 to the Socialists, etc.

Far more inclusive than in the UK, where BBC1-2-3-4/C4/ITV are all Labour.

Thats a shame; Fox News is always good for a chuckle.
