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

I don't see why this is an issue, there are chuffing loads of Muslims in this country and C4 are doing something for them during their holy month..the problem is?

People still watched scheduled broadcasts?

This is an outrage! :eek:

Personally couldn't give a monkeys about this...

What does worry me are the stories, like the one on tonight's news, where a guy was executed in Syria for "blaspheming the Prophet".

Those kind of things are just worrying to the max. Seriously, some poor sod was shot repeatedly in front of his parents and family for making an ill-advised joke.

Religion in any form has no place in society, so it's understandable really.

I'm guessing C4 are doing it as some sort of publicity stunt.

I just read some of the comments, most of them are so stupid, I am surprised that they were even able to open the web browser.

What did he expect in a muslim country. Yet it bothers me what priests are doing to little kids and that gets swept under the rug

And this is relevant why? This comparison is utterly ridiculous. Perhaps if they had the same management, then you'd have an issue. But, they don't.

was a 14 year old boy (who hasn't been to school for the past couple of years) - he was selling coffee, someone asked him for a free cup, he said something along the lines of 'Not even if the Prophet Mohammed comes back'

Apparently anyone can do anything if you misconstrue a badly translated text enough... that's been repeatedly badly translated many more times over centuries..

Does that make it OK all the same, or something?

That's the point I'm trying to make, chap.

If it has been badly translated can you say that it is in fact a false statement? Or that what you are refuting is true?
