Would Al Jazeera show songs of praise?
No, thought not.

Me. The morning line.
Great comparison. Yes, it's exactly like that.
Don't see a massive issue.... I've got a mosque alarm clock so wake up to the call to prayer every morning - basically its irritating as **** and means I pretty much have to get out of bed and thump the alarm clock.
As for the channel 4 thing - blatant publicity stunt... the likes of the EDL will get comically wound up about this (channel 4 implementing sharia law, muslimic ray guns etc..), will generate plenty of pointless debate from various talking heads, lots of waffle in newspaper columns.

But is it really much different though.
Well it's pretty obvious a lot of people care when reading some of the comments they've made.

This. As if the brain dead idiots who are threatening to boycott the channel even watch it anyway.
haha, I read this at about 5am this morning and I bet my wife that someone would start a thread on it before we went to bed tonight, she said that no one would bother with something so trivial......cheers to the OP, I now have a favour logged in the Bank of Wife.
As for what I think...Channel 4 doing something controversial simply because it is controversial, which is pretty much what Channel 4 does. If you don't want to be called to prayer...watch the BBC or ITV instead.

+1
If you are out raged at this like the daily fail biggots will be go take a long hard look at yourself and your values
I don't have an issue with it, other than the fact that it seems strange that they have decided to specifically cater to the religion of Islam and their holiday.
By that I mean that I don't really see Channel 4 doing much to cater for other religions in their programming. Yes, Christmas is a Christian holiday, but does 'Xmas Specials' of regular programming really count as the same?

I think that's the point isn't it, they aren't the god channel so why are they going all religious?

Morning call to prayer should be just before and at dawn yes?
Its a summer month, so 4am for the broadcast?
I doubt it'll effect my life too much, but a good Muslim won't be watched, they'll be nipping down the mosque for a prayer won't they? After a good feed before the sun comes up.
