Muslim "YouTube" launches in the US

How nice. Another portal for the Jihadis.

Newly formed US Islamic organisation Muslim Channels has launched MuslimChannels.tv, a web portal being touted as a Muslim alternative to YouTube and MySpace.

The site's founders are aiming to take a dual approach to online video, combining live 24/7 broadcasts from established Muslim-skewing TV channels around the world with user-generated content (UGC).

Content supply deals have been signed with partners including Al Jazeera English; Tehran-based, globally available English-language news channel Press TV; US satcaster Link TV; and international analysis programme Democracy Now!; as well as religious programmes, such as Huda TV, from Saudi Arabia, and UK-based satcaster Islam Channel.

Stephanie Khan, communications director for Muslim Channels, said that UGC from Islamic leaders and their congregants was expected to be added over the coming weeks."We are optimistic many of our scholars and Imams from the 1,000-plus Islamic centres across the country, and our user base, will add tens of thousands of pieces of useful content," she said, adding that no sexual or hate-based videos will be permitted on the site.

It would combine "education, clean entertainment and broader news perspectives, all in one place," she said. The non-profit organisation will give all business users, regardless of their faith, the opportunity to place free video advertising on MuslimChannels.tv."It is our way to give back to our communities and neighbourhoods while developing friendships," said Khan.

Muslim Channels.tv, MuslimChannels.org, MuslimBridges.org, Together4Peace.org, and IslamTheAnswer.org are site names for ITA Corp., a faith-based non-profit California Corporation, incorporated in December 2006. Our mission is to Build Bridges - to promote Peace and Dialogue through Proactive Interactions at individual and organizational levels -- and to provide Answers to questions about Islam and American Muslims.

Why MuslimChannels.tv? While cable and dish are swamped with religious channels, Muslims in the United States have unequal opportunity for access. Not for economical, content quality, or viewership concerns, rather because of politics of fear and media monopoly. This shortage in Islamic content and educational TV programming must be addressed in order to build bridges not only with non-Muslims, but also with new Muslims, and help in the education of young Muslims. MuslimChannels.tv hopes to facilitate a pathway by offering free online access to a network of Live TV Stations and Video Channels, utilizing public access to broadband connection, and acceptable online display quality in full screen mode.

Members of the management team of ITA Corp. have founded, and are actively involved with Islamic Centers in Southern California. Teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah are followed. ITA Corp. does not make any distinction between sects in Islam so long as the fundamental belief is no god but Allah, and Mohammed as the last and final messenger.

Get that? Mohammed as the last and final messenger? What does that sound like to you?

Here's the linky. What were the first video offerings I saw? A Beloved Cat Stevens vid and that old chestnut from Malcolm X "The Chickens coming home to roost." And you surely will not want to miss from the UK "Mom, I'm a Muslim." Haven't had enough propaganda yet? This will put you over the top (I made 5min and 14 secs of this Islamic attempt to rewrite history): Terror, History of Islam and Zionism.

Pure Islam-o-hogwash.
