I know it’s the wrong network but Queer Eye for the Islamo Guy would be huge.

American popular culture is the most subversive force on earth. Everyone knows this. If the camel could get it’s nose under Islam’s tent — you will pardon the strained metaphor — even in a sonsiderably weakened form, it could cause all kinds of havoc for the exalted rulers of the religion of peace.

Let’s face it, we are losing culturally as well as demographically. We are losing badly. We should not turn our noses up on this, but proceed to bomb the lot of them with iPods and Zunes. Our greatest hope is to out think our enemies. Surely we would be foolish to throw away our most potent weapon.

Man, did I miss out on some fun.

Bear and moon shadow – HAHA. My favorite bomber line would be:

“and if I ever lose my mouth
all my teeth, north and south”

I wonder if the Rat Man sends back the money for “Morning Has Broken”? It is a Christian Hymn!

MTV in Arabia hmmmm. I say, that most of the parents will not allow their kids to watch. Not holding my breath that this is going to change a generation for Western Values.

If 60% of the music is ‘international’ music, this could be latin music, etc. and does not necessarily mean it will be the same ‘crap’ MTV gives us good ole’ US Citizens.

Although, pimp my camel will be hugely popular. I think it would even be popular here, too.

#114, how about Haifa Wehbe, the Dolly Parton of Lebanon (physically speaking)?

In a debate on Al-Jazeera between a Syrian secularist and a Saudi imam, the Syrian pointed out that the deceased righteous are greeted not only by 72 virgins, but by boys as well. (You might be able to find it by searching the MEMRI website. MEMRI translates these things into English.) The debate degenerated into a volley of insults.

Anyway, this revelation opens up new possibilities on Arabic MTV.

Any of you guys heard of Qawwali or Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn? Qawwali may be the best thing to come out of the islamic cultural milieu since its inception about 1300 years ago.

MTV is poison, pure and simple. Anyone watching it or allowing their kids to watch it is a moron. Yes I said moron. And yes I am holier than thou.

No scantily clad women for sure. However, given the level of promiscuous permissiveness when it comes to the beasts of the field, a whole new avenue may open for many of our music of the 70′s through the 90′s. Imagine these updated versions of old tunes:

Ewe Are So Beautiful

Wham Bam Thank You Lamb!

Bleat It!

I Only Have Eyes for Ewe

And on and on. Fertile ground, I’s say.
