Ford practicing dhimmitude a bit early?

#4 This is why foundations should have to spend themselves out of business within a specified time, as did the Olin Foundation. Henry, anti-Semitic as he was, is spinning in his grave.

You would have to pry my P51 Mustang from my cold dead fingers.

#7 Broadcasts also include children's educational programming, current affairs, cooking and travel shows, soccer and cricket matches, documentaries and sitcoms.

Hold it? at the risk of still being undecided on this story, what is wrong with programming targeted to this demographic?
It is likely more "center of the road" than Al Gore's "Current"... (Sorry, how could it be any lefter than that?

#9 The network "really fills a void," said Adnan Mirza, a director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "There's a clear disconnect between popular American media and the Muslim audience.

Muslims just hate Baywatch dont ya know.

#10 Real simple. How much of their religious commentary is derived from Wahabbist or Salafist imams? Where does the majority of their overseas funding come from? What is the station's stated views on Islamist terrorism and Israel's right to exist? They need to put themselves on record, right away. If Saudi Arabia has any prominent role in this, shut it down.

#11 "broadening its reach from 10,000 to more than 1 million U.S. homes"
Reach is different than viewership.

"Broadcasts also include children's educational programming"
Keep a close eye on that.

"for $14.99 per month, virtually all Bridges TV subscribers were Arabs and Muslims"
With only 10,000 homes subscribed, advertising revenue must have been zilch.

"the FBI has taken notice and will use the network for an 'FBI Townhall Meeting'"
Don't try this on other minority-oriented networks or Jesse and Al will have seizures. On second thought...

"charter sponsorship by Ford Motor Co."
Ford doesn't expect its automotive business to make a profit in 2006. Look to Renault to kick in just as soon as Ford and Paris are lost.

#12 Muslims just hate Baywatch dont ya know.

I hear they're going to run a version of "Leave it to Beaver" that has a burkha digitally added over all the women.

They considered doing the same for "Andy Griffith", but Don Knotts scares the hell out of them.

#13 The network "really fills a void," said Adnan Mirza, a director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Yeah, my life's been... so empty without this shit.
Think if cable had been around in WWII we could've gotten "The Nazi Channel" or "Cooking with Tojo" on our basic cable package?

Didn't the Spanish Net Works just rally and coordinate the marches across the country a few days ago?

How long do you think it will take for the American ummah [with Saudi Money] to rally and coordinate the same shit right here at home?

LOL tu! Wonder of they'll be showing

this

or

this "before" pic

compared

with this "after" pic to the kiddies.

Video is always interesting. That way, muzzies can share how-to info.

Here's what I predict. After a while watchdog people will get bored with the programming and slack off. That's when the muzzies will air mad mullah rantings, etc.
