DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- An historic FBI Town Hall Meeting with Arab and Muslim Americans will be televised nationwide on May 15th at 8pm ET / 9pm PT on Bridges TV. Bridges TV is available as a free channel on Wow Cable & Internet and GlobeCast Satellite.

However, Comcast Cable, the nation's largest cable provider, charges customers an extra $180 a year to watch Bridges TV.

"We are deeply saddened by such excessive overpricing by Comcast Cable. There is an urgent need for better coverage of Arab and Muslim American issues in the media. Offering Bridges TV as a free basic channel for all Americans will create a better future for our children and a safer America," said Dr. Mohammad Bazzi, Chairman of the Islamic House of Wisdom, an Islamic center located in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.

Bazzi urges American Muslims to contact Comcast Cable regardless of who their TV provider is. Linda Winters of Comcast Cable can be reached at 888-COMCAST. A complaint form is available at http://www.protectmi.com/.

"Please ask Comcast Cable to make Bridges TV a FREE basic channel. This will allow all Americans to gain a better understanding of Muslim and Arab Americans," added Dr. Bazzi.

Any freebies you'd like Comcast to give to you? Call 'em up. Demand equal treatment.

Comcast is one of the biggest rip-offs going.

They're not ripping you off just because you're Muzzies (although I don't have a problem with that). Comcast rips everyone off. I can't wait until the phone companies are competing in TV programming.

Who the hell are they, ( the muslims )to demand anything?

All I ever wanted to know about muslims I learned on 9/11.

Comcast recently dropped a full-time Christian channel from its basic line-up in most or all of Metro Detroit.

In other words they are admitting their culture ain't worth a measly $15 bucks a month.

The only thing an American needs to know about Mohammedans is that they are, like their false pedophilic profit, a bunch of murderous thugs.

From some groups, about some programming, I might agree, and see it as a public service.

From this source, about this topic, I just see it as a God-Fatheresque vieled threat.

"Abdullah, see that he remains safe & healthy, so he can pay his insurance premiums on time. You DO want to remain safe and healthy, don't you, Mr. Comcast?"
