MuslimChannels.tv, the family oriented alternative to
YouTube and MySpace, integrating live broadcast and video uploads
(July 4th,
2008, Temecula, California) While cable and dish services are swamped with
religious channels, Muslims in the United States have unequal
opportunities for access. This is not due to any economical, content quality,
or viewership concerns, but rather because of the politics of fear and media
monopoly. MuslimChannels addresses this
challenge with a unique approach, by offering the best of both worlds: Multiple
live 24 x 7 broadcasts of religious, alternative news, and educational
programming, as well as user video uploads, video sharing and formation of
online communities.
MuslimChannels believes the time has come to break the large corporate media
monopoly by featuring several alternative news broadcasts and shows such as Al
Jazeera English, LinkTV, Press TV, and DemocracyNow. Religious programming will initially include
two 24 x 7 live channels, featuring Huda TV and IslamChannels.
While the site is opening today with several hundred videos featuring films,
documentaries, and educational content, many scholars are expected to upload libraries
of valuable material over the next days and weeks. "We are optimistic many of our scholars and Imams
from the 1000+ Islamic centers across the country, and our user base, will add
tens of thousands of pieces of useful content", said Stephanie Khan,
Communication Director of Muslim Channels.
Mrs. Khan expressed her excitement that no "sexual" content or "Hate"
videos will be permitted, "finally combining education, clean entertainment,
and broader news perspectives, all in one place."
The organization will offer business users, regardless of their faith, a chance
to expand their business, and cut down on expenses during these difficult
times. "It is our way to give back to
our communities and neighborhoods while developing friendships", said Mrs. Khan. Because the organization is non-profit, with a
focus on building bridges and promoting peace and cooperation, users will have
the ability to place FREE video ads, promoting their businesses and services, and
use a special site feature to deliver their video ads to a potentially
unlimited number of local customers by a simple "One Click".

AL-NAKBA: 60 YEARS OF OCCUPATION AND OPPRESSION |
|
|
|
(May 30, 2008, Temecula, California) The arrival to Southern California of the
two highest ranking religious leaders from the Holy Land
went completely unnoticed last week, not only by national media outlets but by local
news media as well. Archbishop Ata
Nasrallah is the most senior Christian leader of the Orthodox Church in the
Holy Land and an icon to most Christians in the Middle
East. The Archbishop was accompanied
by Sheik Tayseer Al Taimimi, the Grand Mufti of Palestine, equally an Icon to
all Muslims. They stood united with many
Christian, Jewish, and Muslim organizations that protested what they termed “The
brutal occupation of Palestine, the oppressive
apartheid regime of Israel,
and countless human rights violations against the Palestinians.” The two
religious dignitaries supported the “right of return” of Palestinian refugees
and called on the International community to implement all United Nations
Security Council Resolutions against the occupation, already in place but
vetoed by the United States.

'You Don't Mess With the Zohan', MuslimBridges will! |
|
|
|
(June 9, 2008, Temecula, California) While many film critics considered the movie "not as funny
as its trailer", MuslimBridges is disappointed by Adam Sandler's attempt to
glorify the image of the "Israeli soldier", clearly a propaganda plot to
counter two factors, the large number of Israeli soldiers defecting the
military, refusing to take part in oppressing the Palestinians, and the
miserable performance by the "mighty" Israeli army against Hezbollah - the
small militia resistance during 2006 Israel war on Lebanon.

Press Release: An Open Letter to Rev. Pat Robertson - 700 Club |
|
|
|
.... Back when Mayor Rudy Giuliani was a political frontrunner, you endorsed his candidacy, despite the fact that he is quite liberal and often differs with Evangelicals on many important issues. Muslims were very opposed to Mayor Giuliani because he often engaged in racist, anti-Islamic rhetoric against all Muslims. We still suspect that your significant endorsement was for exactly the same reason as our humble opposition: his anti-Islamic views, and support of Zionism.

Seven Million American Muslims will have more to celebrate on Eid this weekend - access to Islamic programming!
October 12, 2007, Temecula, California - for immediate release : While cable and dish are swamped with religious channels, Muslims have unequal opportunity for access. Not for economical, content quality, or viewership concerns, rather fear from reprisals by small interest groups who are well financed, and organized to orchestrate anti-Islamic campaigns in the media, applying pressure on media executives.
Huda Live TV, is the latest addition to a total of six channels found on MuslimBridges website, with free "One Click" access. MuslimBridges is particularly excited for this new addition; it is the first "commercial-free" 24/7 English programming channel. "Not only the Muslim community will appreciate this broadcast, but all of our friends and neighbors can now drop in sometimes and get to know more about Islam directly from Muslims". Said Stephanie Khan, communication representative with MuslimBridges.org
Huda is an Arabic word, its meaning is guidance. While the original signals of Huda broadcast originate from the M. East, programming include many American and European Muslim scholars who frequently appear on shows, or temporarily reside in the M.East while pursuing Ph.Ds in Islamic studies.
"We have been working to release this channel since our website went public back in Feb. 07. Many technical issues had to be addressed in expectation of huge viewership, ranging from bandwidth, delivery speed and quality" Said Kamal Romani, technical Director with MuslimBridges.org. Users will access Huda in broadband, at high definition quality. While MuslimBridges.org had to upgrade its bandwidth for other programming numerous times, it is hopeful current set up configuration is appropriate to handle the volume of visitors expected.
MuslimBridges.org is extending all of its programming to Islamic Centers, and any non-profit organizations at no cost. It is the hopes of the organization to bridge the gap in public access to quality Islamic programming, shedding more light to every Muslim home in America.
