Anti-terror TV Show Angers Arabs
NewsMax ^ | 10/10/2005 | Associated Press

Posted on 10/10/2005 11:50:22 AM PDT by RonF

A new television series being broadcast around the Middle East tells the story of Arabs living in residential compounds in Saudi Arabia and the militant Islamists who want to blow them up so they can collect their rewards in heaven - 72 beautiful virgins.

The show's message: terrorism is giving Islam a bad name, and Muslims are suffering because of the actions of a few.

The programs, which began last Tuesday on the first day of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, have come under a blistering attack on the Internet in Arabic language chat rooms.

The critics are demanding the Saudi-owned and Dubai-based Middle East Broadcasting Corporation, a popular Arabic satellite television station that bought the show and broadcasts it across the region, cancel it.

The guy in charge of producing this show basically tells the terrorists to stuff it. Brave man. We need more like him. I first saw this on Citizen Smash's site.

Ironically, to show their outrage they're gonna blow-up someone/something.

A long time ago, I stopped believing that the terrorists and their supporters were a minority. They are the mainstream. Those who speak out against the terrorists are on the fringe of this "religion"

Thank Allah muslims men can beat their women cause no man on this gods earth could keep 72 women happy, entertained and satisfied throughout an eternity!~}

And isn't it funny that what Allah puts on this earth already for then leads them to suicide.

Guess they think the got California girls awaiting for them.

And if so they better learn to drink, dance and enjoy desperate housewives and the real world real quick!~}

And Muslims honestly can't figure out why more and more people are highly suspicious of them as a group? Where is the collective renunciation of terrorism? Where is the disassociation with terrorists acting in the name of Islam? Why is it that only American and European apologists seem to be claiming that Islam is not in favor of terrorism?

Where are some of the millions upon millions of Muslims worldwide when terrorists strike? From what I've seen, admittedly from MSM news accounts, is that they are dancing and celebrating in the streets. How are we to believe that Islam is the Religion of Peace when so much evidence denies that?

To fight back the extremists are producing their own show, tentatively title "The West Cave." It stars Martin Sheen as a wisened terror mastermind and single dad (all 13 wives blew themselves up) who must balance the pressures of running a global Jihad with the challenge raising his spunky teenage daughter.

I'm thinking of that beer commercial where Cedric the Entertainer dreams of being on an island with 2 women and beer and quickly revises his fantasy after imagining what it would be like. Actually, that could be a pretty funny parody skit for a Mad TV or SNL if they had the guts.

I also think that the easiest test to prove that these terrorists aren't going to Heaven is pretty simple. If you were an all-knowing good omnipotent God, would you want to spent eternity in the company of garbage like these guys?

Yeah they could show him getting cast to hell for slapping one of his ex virgins as she demands that he love only her.

And they could show the women starting to behave badly with each other and then 1 by 1 getting tossed down into hell and landing in the same caldron he's in, but this time without even the escape to hell available!~}

I must admit to the little jig I danced upon the news of 30,000 souls called home to Allah in IslamISbad, I mean in Islamabad.

Actually, I would guess they are dead, having been murdered for speaking up. Others have learned the lesson and keep quiet about their true feelings. We won't know the truth until people can speak freely without worrying about getting killed for it. The old "Townsquare Test".

Really, they seemed to be the most uptight group of people on the face of the earth.

I'm just surprised they were able to air it. Hope they don't blow up his building.
