Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State plans 24-hour jihad TV channel

Jan 20, 2015 9:14 pm By Robert Spencer

islamic-state-tvWhy? CNN, MSNBC and the BBC aren’t enough for them? “The Islamic State Plans TV Channel, According to Reports,” by Debra Kamin, Variety, January 19, 2015:

According to reports in both Israeli and international media this week, the Islamic State has a 24-hour television channel in the works.

The station, which if launched will take Isis’ well-polished propaganda machine to an entirely new level, will feature round-the-clock news and commentary that supports its jihadist ideology.

The terror organization has waged a shockingly bloody campaign in recent months to seize large swaths of Iraq and Syria, and it has utilized both Twitter and YouTube, as well as Iraqi radio bandwidth, to spread its message and galvanize support among terrorist sympathizers. It has its own English-language magazine, Daqib, as well as a video series, on both YouTube and other content-sharing sites, dubbed “The Flames of War.”

Earlier this week, Isis posted two Arabic-language short teasers purportedly for the upcoming station, a channel that will be called the Islamic Caliphate Broadcast. Both featured sharply edited still images and promise in-depth video to come. According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, one of the programs will offer guidance and support on how to recruit Muslim sympathizers into Isis’ ranks. The same Haaretz report said that the station would also feature a video series by British captive John Cantile, as well as a daily news program….

    A MUST SEE picture:
    French woman disregards Muslim prayers in street. Handbag bumping heads.

      wow all of their prayers invalidated according to mogammed…more power to her, more women should follow suit.

      ”French woman disregards Muslim prayers in street. Handbag bumping heads”

      **Brilliant** !

      This is what we should **all** do, whenever these scum try to take over our streets, shopping centres, etc. Huge kudos to her.

      Looking at that photo, all the squatters are facing in the same direction as the street. Since when do the streets of Paris (is that where this is?) align with the qibla orientation, pointing toward the Kaaba? These men’s prayers are invalidated not only by their facing in the wrong direction but also by the najis cooties being spread by this kafirah.

    The station, which if launched will take Isis’ well-polished propaganda machine to an entirely new level

    Yes, but how will it differentiate itself from all those other channels telling us that poverty, low education and grievances against european colonialism, american imperialism, freedom of speech and Western pop culture cause terrorism?

    • jihad3tracker says

      Jan 20, 2015 at 10:20 pm

      Hello Angemon — GREAT QUESTION ! ! !

      The ISIS channel COULD differentiate itself by including retro American TV classic shows, but ADAPTING them for modern circumstances. Here are some candidates :

      The Beverly Hillbillies becomes “The Beverly Killbillies” / Kojak becomes “Quranjak” / Perry Mason becomes “Muhammad Mason” / The Love Boat becomes “The Death Boat” / I Dream of Jeannie becomes “I Dream of Virgins”.

      Well, you get the idea . . . Other suggestions for ISIS’s “basic rate” pricing are hereby requested.

        How about “Dhimmi and Sons”, a sitcom depicting an old Christian and his hip son who is the proprietor of a junkyard, which depicts, in a comedic way, their struggles as second class citizens in an Islamic majority country under Sharia Law, in the Islamic Stats?

        They could sell medicinal camel urine jihad sports drinks during commercial breaks to fund the propaganda.

        • jihad3tracker says

          Jan 21, 2015 at 5:30 am

          That would be perfect for “prime time” — relaxing in the tent after a hard day of slaughter.

          There will have to be some allowances for Qur’anic “astronomy”, of course — for example, according to that exemplary scientific manual, the sun sets in a muddy pool.

          Maybe we can dig Carl Sagan up, re-animate him, and he can appear before each gag’s punch line, saying “Hey, this one’s gonna kill you !”

      @Angemon

      They have lots of filler already available from these sources you mention! Comedy hour for them–to augment their own material. I’d say they are ready to roll just with what they’ve got already, plus all the footage of heads being chopped off and so on.

    ISIS has its own banks, currency, institutions, now a TV station.
    Now we know why Obama said it will take 3 years to defeat ISIS; he simply wants to give them time to become a fait accompli, a true and legitimate state.
    Thank you, Mr President.

    The video is well done, clearly this man has shown he has more value as a cooperative captive than a dead one.

    ISIS, just got a huge boon in know how and expertise.

    Expect a better, more sophisticated campaign in the future.”

    I wonder if they’ll get the Hamas kids shows, with loveable chracters like Farfour? Will they make their own? They’re already “educating” them young to murder, lie, cheat, and steal for Allah, so some ISIS kids TV shows seem a certainty.

    I wonder if John Cantlie is trying the old 1001 Arabian tales trick? Spin the series out for the 3 years obama says it will take to win the war? Either way hope he gets out safe.

    Their version of Jeremy Kyle will be watchable, These muslims are an excitable bunch! Eastenders will be middle-easters just sondering what they’d use as a pub?

    I imagine pepper pig might be dropped and one man and his dog will be one man and his wives.

    I was in the UK recently and I picked-up a 24 hour muslim channel. Sickening — that should be banned, let alone the isis one. Apparently a large percentage of muslims have it on all day. That is the first thing that should be shut-down.

    • martinR says

      Jan 21, 2015 at 4:37 am

      The Jews are planning on leaving the UK, the non specific gener individuals would be wise to get out now, the Christians will turn the other cheek until they are killed, the average non-believer will just turn over like a good dog and take from behind, all other religious groups will leave or convert.

      The UK will either get the true message of Islam and through a massive preemptive removal of all Muslims, cleanse the country of this filth or simply devolve into an Islamic travesty of what once was a proud nation, a people with a strong sense of national identity.

      Muslims will grin right into your face crying that Islam is the religion of peace while striking your neck shouting to their imaginary sky god.

      They are dangerous wild animals roaming free amongst unarmed sheep, there will have to be a turn around or in the not too distant future a massacre on a huge scale will be the fate of the United Kingdom.

      How about some reality TV

      Caliphates top Azan, a call to prayer competition.

      Or

      Housewives of Mosul, or perhaps “Survivor Jihad”

      We’ve got many ideas here, boy Islam is funny stuff.

    Want to bet that it’s just a matter of time before the ISIS channel has legitimacy with the far Left. In fact no time at all. I mean if Press TV has legitimacy, and Al-Jazeerah, and yes the BBC, why not the IS channel? Maybe gorgeous George Galloway and Noam Chomsky will make an appearance. They can’t sink any lower than they already have. Why would ISIS jihadists be seen beyond the pale when clearly Hamas and Taliban jihadists are not?

    Why not put a pinpoint bomb on the TV studio? Same with that despicable jihad magazine.

    It’s funny, when I look at those pictures of mass prayers in our streets from the rear, all I see are thousands of a**holes.
