Channel 4 to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer every morning during the holy month of Ramadan

[NokkonWud]

Cool. Why not.

 

[Suarez7]

People get up at 3am to pray, wow.

Religion makes people do strange things.

 

[ps3ud0]

Will OFCOM ensure the 'P' sign proceeds and supersedes the transmission?

As long as they cater to our religion too by showing Christmas things in December too, I'm fine with it.

Oh they do. The religion of consumerism is well catered for in December

 

[KautoStar]

Has it?

lol really that naive?

TEMPT ME WITH SHINY THINGS OH MIGHTY LORD.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I thought something like this would be better broadcast on the Islam Channel. Then again, if you're Muslim, you will know months in advance when Ramadan falls in any given year.

 

[Lysander]

lol really that naive?

I'm open to the idea that they have, but where is your proof? It is Ramadan after all and they've always been please-all staunch lefties. Nothing wrong with keeping Muslims happy.

 

[LOAM]

I think its quite a nice thing to do to be honest.

 

[The Running Man]

If they allow this - with a year, the United Kingdom will be renamed the United Islamic Republic Of Britain, every single female child will have it's genital's mutilated & Stephen Fry will be publically beheaded outside of the houses of parliament.

it's that slippery slope.

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

It's just Channel 4 being edgy. It'll probably result in the highest viewing figures they've had in ages.

 

[bitslice]

They got a load of flack from Muslims not so long ago with their 'Islam: The Untold Story' so perhaps needed to work on their Muslim PR a bit too.

No, Muslims need to work on not being hypersensitive about everything from cartoons to books to people daring to object to being beheaded.
All that documentary did was to suggest the origins of Islam were uncertain, which is exactly the same position the Christians find themselves in but they manage to get over it.
It's their own fault for arrogantly declaring their version of the Sky Pixie Story* is divinely written instead of divinely inspired.

I like this news.

 

[Marky]

Isn't that at like 3 or 4 in the morning or something like that?

If so - Why get so uptight about it? :/

 

[Biohazard]

Thoughts on this? A lot of people commenting on channel 4's latest facebook post saying they will boycott the channel if this goes ahead. I really don't see what all the fuss is about but it's rustled a lot of jimmies.

You managed to rustle a few here as well..

 

[monkehhh]

I don't care much for live TV or religion, but the thought of a load of muslamic-ray-guns EDL types getting wound up about this pleases me

So anyone who is not pro Islam supports the EDL?

 

[arknor]

The only time I get up at 3am is if I need to urinate really badly and I know I won't be able to get back to sleep unless I visit the toilet bowl god

 

[[FnG]magnolia]

Think what you like about the muslims but without them this forum would be a barren wasteland empty of threads.

 

[monkehhh]

Nope, I just know that the EDL folks were getting wound up about it - and the EDL are a nasty bunch.
