#2 What's not to like? I say we give the producer and his 'talent' refugee status and a cable channel. Multicultural understanding, ya know? :D

#4 "Egypt's court shuts down belly dancing channel, religious cleric"
If they'd actually shut down ALL their "religious clerics" they'd be a lot better off. :-(

#5 Who needs a television channel when there's the internet, in all its glory?
Oh, right. Most Egyptians don't have internet, which is why they aren't secularists, or something.

#6 This is a popular form of entertainment. Like the Tango in Argentina. Belly dancing is popular in many countries in this part of the world. Russian belly dancers are very good for example. This is an art form to them. Hey, belly dancing is very popular here also. Good aerobic exercise.

#7 The Islamo-fascist program proceeds apace. Not that it will help against the inevitable financial decline...
They just don't understand how profitable it could be, unlike some freedom-loving Lebanese. Brazzers was launched in early 2005 by Ouissam Youssef and Stephane Manos, friends at Concordia University, and Matt Keezer. While their website is managed from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the majority of their scenes and photographs are shot in Las Vegas, Nevada; San Antonio, Texas; Los Angeles, California; and Miami, Florida. Brazzers.com is frequently ranked as one of the top 500 most-viewed websites on the internet.

I was thinking more about replacing the Oxygen channel with BDC (Belly Dancing Channel). It would definitely get more eyeballs.

Than the Oxygen channel? You're setting a pretty low bar there, Al.

#10 Brazzers.com is, apparently, pron. Of course it is profitable.
Belly dancing, on the other hand, is art. That it, like all forms of dance, is sensual, does not move it into the ick category.
And belly dancing already is profitable, as well as an established career path for Egyptian girls. That's why a non-government television was able to support the channel, until the Third Wayers of the Muslim Brotherhood started enforcing their narrow interpretation of Shariah.

#11 If Egyptians become more devout, Allah will create vast oil wells under Egyptian soil, and newly-pious Egyptians can party like the Gulf state Sunnis. Hey, it worked for the Gulf Arabs...

#12 If the Egyptians become more devout, and Allah creates vast lakes of oil underneath their sand...
It will all drain out via the Gaza tunnels, there to mix with the vast Gazan poo ponds, becoming both unavailable and a helath and safety threat to the populace.
Somehow Israel will apply a technology newly invented for the purpose to make money and benefit the entire region, would they only accept what she has to offer...
Which they wouldn't.
