WAY COOL.
Coming to a local TV station near you soon.
IT’S MUSLIM TV!!
Muslim-Oriented TV Expands Into Six States
Seeking to improve the image of Muslims in the United States, an English-language Muslim-oriented TV station has extended its availability into parts of Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida and New York.
Bridges TV, which was founded by Mo Hassan, a Muslim, is now included in the basic lineup for users of Verizon’s fiber-optic network in those six states, and it hopes to expand further.
At a news conference announcing the move, Madhi Bray, the executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, said the pope’s recent controversial remarks about Islam highlighted the need for such programming.
“Bridges TV is critically important to the American public because it builds bridges,” Bray said. “If there’s anything we’ve seen with the recent episode with the pope and how there’s a misconception about the faith traditions of other people . . . we need bridges.”
The expansion increases Bridges TV’s potential audience from fewer than 10,000 homes to nearly 2 million, according to Hassan, the station’s chief executive. Previously, Bridges TV, which was launched in 2004, was available to paid subscribers only through Comcast Cable as well as some smaller cable systems.
Hassan said Bridges TV is a good business venture for cable stations because of the growing number of Muslims and Islam’s growing profile in the United States.
GREAT. What next? Muslim advertisements? Muslim Music TV?
They will use this medium to spread their hatred and lies. The lies will incite American Muslims to HATE even more. So I predict.
I hope this venture bottoms out because we don’t need anymore Muslim indoctrination.

Hmmm… a glorified Al Jazeera, perhaps..
I can see some shows now…
*This ol’ IED…
*Bombing for Allah!
*Kill the Joooooooooos!
*Leave it to Muhammed..
*A game show, modeled on Groucho Marx’s “You bet your life” called “You beat your wife!”
*The Arab Street (walker) (on the Arab Playboy channel–featuring shots of women’s ankles)
*Friday Night Beheadings! (Sequel to that crazy reality show for Infidels, “Don’t lose your head!”)
*And the weekly news show, in cooperation with CBS, called “Meet the Jihadists”
*”Allah knows best” and that crazy new sports special,
“Bowling for Burkkas!”
And don’t forget that great soap opera…
“The Devil and George Bush!”
