"In view of the existing state of television, where children are exposed to violent and inappropriate material on a daily basis..."

I am in agreement with the Al Thani on this one. The violence on kid shows today can only lead to bad things for society.

Of course, programming that involves teaching these children that they are superior to the infidels and to never befriend them is just as destructive as the Ninja Turtles cavorting around town killing baddies.

What makes this new TV channel a topic for Jihad Watch? Well obviously the channel's owner and with the comment made by Murrin "Everything revolves around identity" one gets the distinct feeling that this isn't going to be a pro-integration channel but quit the opposite. Thus one could also argue that this snipet belongs on Dhimmi Watch as The Netherlands 'sinks' another notch into full Dhimmitude.

Settling in for a long, a permanent stay -- with all the comforts and television programs of home.

To allow this is a mistake. It is a mistake if one pretends, or clings to the notion, that Believers can remain Believers and yet still, despite the entire nature of the belief-system, live in harmony with the very Infidels those Believers have been taught to despise, and who have no rights in the end except what Believers will permit them, as dhimmis.

It is a mistake if one does not think "integration" is the solution, but that the entire Bilad al-kufr must retain its laws and customs and manners, and make sure that nothing changes which would make life still more welcoming than it has already turned out to be. The welfare system has to be changed so that polygamy is stopped and overbreeding made terribly expensive -- not merely by ending benefits at a very few children (a non-Islamic familiy size) but that those who do not take oaths of allegiance to the nation-state, and to its laws, and swear a loyalty only to it that will be difficult for Muslims, not all of whom will decide to lie about where their sole loyalty is, and must be, will receive no benefits. There are other ways to link the receipt of benefits, including subsidized housing, to certain kinds of behavior (no slaughtering of sheep on the streets, and so on). It takes attention.

And of course there should be ways to block Al Jazeera (children's edition) just as Al Manar was blocked. Anyone who has seen the praise of murder, and suicide-bombers, by those cute little children on the "Palestinian" version of Sesame Street something called "the children's hour," knows how crazy it has been for the Israeli government to permit such shows, or to permit any "Palestinian" television or radio at all. Israel, which consistently bends over backwards to accommodate the Arabs in all such matters, is not a model of how to behave.

At the first sign -- and there will be such a sign -- of something unacceptable, the first hint of anything other than complete sweetness-and-ilght, shut that station down. Everywhere in Europe.

Hackers of the Bilad al-kufr: do your stuff. You know how to insert the most unseemly things into our Regularly Scheduled Programming. Do it for a purpose -- do it so that Muslim families will not wish their children or women to watch Al-Jazeera, for fear of what they might inadvertently catch sight of.

"Everything revolves around identity," said Murrin. "A Lebanese boy wants to recognise himself in the kids shown on television and that just isn’t possible with American comic strip characters."

For the Muhammadan diaspora everything revolves aroung interleaving, not integrating. They can never owe allegiance to a social construct like nation-state nor especially rule of parliamentary law. To do so would be an act of apostacy. They can never therefore enter into the social contract with their neighbors that guarantees every citizen equal treatment under the law, including freedom of conscience and freedom from violence. By definition and their own choosing, they can never participate in the greater polity and economy in which they are immersed. They are among us but they are not with us. It is their choice that they are not with us. Soon it must be our choice that they not be among us.

What a joke. They're weaned on it. They glorify it in their texts and actions.

Tell these fools, it's all about "integration," "integration" into the Caliphate. The channel is aimed at indoctinating others. Its a seed pod for our destruction. Will you tell these fools?

Who is in charge of this world? Have the body snatchers taken over? Remember the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers? A dishevelled physician Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy), distraught and seeming to be psychotic and mad about alien invaders, shouts to an unbelieving group of nurses, interns, psychiatrists, and doctors in the emergency room of the city's Emergency Hospital where he has been brought by a police car, that the planet is being taken over (by something monstrously evil):

"Doctor, will you tell these fools? I'm not crazy. Make them listen to me before it's too late. When Doctor, will you tell these fools? I'm not crazy. Make them listen to me before it's too late."

We should do everything in our power to make them want to get the hell out.

No special TV or radio. No banned pigs, no special prayer rooms, or Islamophobe concocted crap. All it leads to is more and more isolation from, and domination of the host community they don't want to be a part of in the first place.

Go back to your stinking hell-hole country of origin. Then try criticizing the government while begging for a hand out and special priviliges!
