iTunes Rival iSlam to Offer Muslim-Friendly Fare
Muslim authorities in the Netherlands, outraged at the release on LiveLeak.com of Fitna, a film about the Koran and jihad, today announced the imminent launch of a new Muslim video and audio service which they claim will eventually rival Apples iTunes in its reach and influence.As part of a proactive strategy to provide wholesome entertainment for Muslim families, an edited version of Fitna will be the first video available through the new online media service dubbed, iSlam. We have not edited out any of the blood, gore, explosions, beheadings, bodies dragged through streets, execution-style shootings, female genital mutilation, ritual cutting of children and other normal religious scenes, said one unnamed Dutch Muslim leader. But we have removed the horrifying cartoon images of the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2008-04-02 |
