The first nationwide American Muslim TV network has begun operations: on Tuesday, Bridges TV began broadcasting on the GlobeCast World TV satellite system. The network’s launch is the fruit of over three years of work that began not long after 9/11, when the wife of Bridges TV founder and Chief Executive Muzzammil Hassan heard a radio discussion of Islamic radicalism. “Some derogatory comments were being made about Muslims that offended her,” said Hassan. “She was seven months pregnant, and she thought she didn’t want her kids growing up in this environment.”

Hassan decided to present a more positive view of Islam: Bridges TV declares that its intention is to “fuse American culture with the values of Islam in a healthy, family-oriented way.” According to the network’s media kit, Hassan “wants Bridges TV to tell the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence to a nationwide audience.” Boxing legend Muhammad Ali exults: “Bridges TV gives American Muslims a voice of their own on the airways for Americans of all races and religions to hear.”

But what kind of voice? Will this channel do something truly positive, such as tell the truth about the elements of Islam that give rise to violence, and discuss the hard choices Muslims must face in order to prevent the continued growth of jihad radicalism and terrorism among them? It’s impossible to tell so early in the network’s life, but in the meantime, the Bridges TV website asks inquirers to “check the legitimacy of Bridges TV” with, among others, Nihad Awad, Executive Director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR); Aleem Rahman, President & CEO of IslamiCity.com, which it identifies as “the largest Muslim Web site in North America”; and Alex Kronemer, who created and produced the PBS documentary Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet.(more)

I guess what we will hear is anything but the true nature of Islam.

Good luck, Bridges. Personally, I've already received a three year education in Muslim tolerance. And I've noticed the loud din of outrage American Muslims have visited upon their extremist brothers (</sarcasm>).

You've much, much work to do.

LoL!

Saturday morning Science for kids show: Allah's Astronomy:

Tabari I:232: “Gabriel brings to the sun a garment of luminosity from the light of Allah’s Throne according to the measure of the hours of the day. The garment is longer in the summer and shorter in the winter, and of intermediate length in autumn and spring. The sun puts on that garment as one of you here puts on his clothes.”

Tabari I:233 “When the Messenger was asked about that, he replied, ‘When Allah was done with His creation He created two suns from the light of His Throne. His foreknowledge told Him that He would efface one and change it to a moon; so the moon is smaller in size.”
Tabari I:234 “Allah thus sent Gabriel to drag his wing three times over the face of the moon, which at the time was a sun. He effaced its luminosity and left the light in it. This is what Allah means: [in Qur’an 17:12] ‘We have blotted out the sign of the night, and We have made the sign of the day something to see by.’ The blackness you can see as lines on the moon is a trace of the blotting.”


Clearly, infidels have it all wrong.

Today on Islamic Oprah:

Sharia and women's inheritance rights.

[4.11] Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.

Todays Islamic man: Todays topic Loving your wives Allah's way:

Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”

Tabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”

Bukhari:V1B22N28 “The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hell Fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are disbelievers or ungrateful.’ When asked what they were ungrateful for, the Prophet answered, ‘All the favors done for them by their husbands.’”

Muslim:B1N142 “‘O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell.’ A wise lady said: Why is it, Allah’s Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: ‘You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise.’ Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, ‘Your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to one man. That is a proof.’”

Qur’an 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them.”

Ishaq:185 “In hell I saw women hanging by their breasts. They had fathered bastards.” [fathered?]

Qur’an 24:34 “Force not your slave-girls to whoredom (prostitution) if they desire chastity, that you may seek enjoyment of this life. [And here’s the freedom-to-pimp card:] But if anyone forces them, then after such compulsion, Allah is oft-forgiving.”

Abu Treballah's Jeapordy

Catagorys: Jews - Christians- terrorism -jihad-

"Allah willing, I'll take Jews for 400, Abu"

"Alright here goes, What did Allah (through Muhammad) do to the Jews of Madina?"

"Qur’an 33:26 “Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before.”

I can't believe the American people are just going to sit around and allow another Al-jazerra network inside this country. In a few years this network will be as crazy as the ones in Europe: "Death to America," "We salute the martyrs of 9/11," etc.

I know, it's unbelievable. What's worse it will be so full of B.S. and brainwash the already too stupid masses. What we need to do is ban the cult, not promote it.

I'm trying really hard not to laugh. I wonder if the Station will show reruns like "Little Tent in the Desert," Wild, Wild West Bank," and the "J Team."

If Islam condones Islamism, it must be destroyed, or it will destroy us.
