It launched at midnight Saturday with a pre-taped show featuring Ludacris, Akon, Lebanese rapper Karl Wolf and hip-hop band Desert Heat. The channel will focus on hip-hop and R&B, with 40 per cent Arabic music, and minimal bare skin and profanity.

This is like a secret weapon. First Michael Jackson moves to Bahrain, now this.

Fight jihadist stupidity with lib stupidity. Perfect!

You’re being VERY kind calling that crap music. How about a computerized drum beat with a profane poem read over the top of it, spoken by a clownish oaf with an oversized clock around his neck?
That’s more like it.

The islamonazis are DOOMED! With the lack of self discipline and moral restraint that characterizes their culture, they are more susceptible than the West to drugs, sex, & Rock’n’Roll. When the kids LAUGH at the mullahs, its over. Its time for the young people of the islamic world to begin the revolution and overthrow the established order. They could start by marrying the girl/guy of THEIR choice instead of letting powerful old men grab multiple young wives by FORCE. Love is something to fight for!

The shot across the bow. What’s next in our arsenal, Desperate Housewives. I don’t think that will be as effective as Baywatch was.
