#3 Watching al-Jazeera is an evil in itself . . .

Finally, a fatwa we can all agree with!

#5 Yet again, the seventh century shoots itself in the foot. Not a good idea.

. . . evil channel hosting people who interpret religion as they please. That, I'd suspect, is the key, right there. In its current state, Islam is inherently self-destructive; it tends to do this kind of thing, restricting freedom of interpretation in the name of "righteousness." I may not be a big fan of Al-Jizz, but at least it is an alternative to the Wahhabi crap. The "smarter" of two idiots, you might say, though to borrow an old phrase, being intelligent in the Middle East is like getting the gold medal in the Special Olympics: you may win but you're still retarded. In any case, I doubt this is going to go over very well.

Though if Islam is going to reform itself, I think it'll have to be done from the bottom, from Muslims who care more about the truth as they see it than what their damned mullahs say and sheiks say. But to do that, they first need to care more about others, and to think for themselves, which Islam tends to prevent. Not good.

#8 They forgot. Al-Jazzera is like the old potato chip commercial; WELL SEASONED and provocative. . .

Remember what I said of the sexual repression and the term "Zionist"? It's like a fetish with "conservative" Muslims.

#11 The suprise meter does work!

Not mine. The Saudis will assume any contortionist posture necessary to preserve their tenuous grip on power. These latest theological gymnastics are merely the predictable outcome of the Saudis realizing that any freedoms they have granted in their moral cesspool of a country have served the ends of Wahabbist fanatics better than their own selves or that of the disaffected population.

The House of Saud is on a collision course with reality and all the harems, racehorses and solid gold bathroom faucets in the world aren't going to prevent it. What the Saudis refuse to recognize, in ~~congenital~~ traditional Arab fashion, is that they have struggled valiantly to breed up this monster for several decades and now must pay the piper. Much like some too well known refugees over in Gaza.

#13 "...solution to al-Jizzles isn't to ban watching it, but to give alternatives to it..."

#16 Hank is right. I was completely fooled by this curve - al-Jazerra is surreptitiously helping the Jews.
