"A Unique Perspective": Jihad Sermons On American TV

For years we have been reading the MEMRI translations of Jihadi sermons from places like Saudi Arabia and Iran, but none of us thought we'd ever wake up and find the same spew on our own television sets here in America. Well, here it is:


Today ... a report that extremist Saudi Wahhabi sermons are being broadcast on American cable television, praising suicide bombers ("martyrdom") and promoting the the legal replacement of the Constitution with Islamic Law (sharia) through a demographic battle.

Bridges TV, an American-Islamic TV channel "seeking to improve the image of Muslims in the United States" and to "offer a unique perspective on the Middle East and the war on terrorism," has extended its availability into six states, creating a potential audience of nearly 2 million.

A religious figure who appeared on the channel on Oct. 3 said Muslims have a duty to change America and to increase their numbers to 50% of the population from 2%. He recommended that Islamic law be implemented in American courts.

On Oct. 5, a discussant offered a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict: "For the Jews to leave and return to Europe."

Throughout the day, Bridges TV airs segments of Koranic verses, quite a few of which denounce "unbelievers." One notable verse that aired Oct. 9 praised martyrdom.

Since the Islamic holy month of Ramadan began, the channel has been showing official, Saudi government-controlled Wahhabi sermons from Mecca, with English subtitles.


This is not something we can just allow to happen. This must be stopped. Cable outlets get their licenses from the Federal Communications Commission. The Federal Government can not tolerate the broadcast of calls for the overthrow of the Federal Government.

If the Federal Government does allow such broadcasts, then the Federal Government is nullifying it's own authority. If the Federal Government, who exists at the behest of the people, decides to nullify its own authority, then there is no reason for the people to respect that authority any longer.

Tea Party anyone?

But it won't be stopped! Our government is filled with dhimmis.
