Council Chairman Parvez Ahmed told Gulf News: "This is a highly ambitious Islamic public relations campaign, the largest in world, which is aimed at improving Islam's image."

So long as they're outspent by the other Islamic PR campaign -- the one that involves head-chopping, seething, "apes-and-pigs", and the occasional boom -- they'll lose ground. In fact, telling us Islam is all sweetness-and-light while the other campaign's still going on will cause them to lose ground even faster.

Americans don't like being bullshitted. That's why the "small minority of extremists" line has been failing.

#2 yeah, need to put a positive spin on sawing off peoples heads and using children as human shields.
Instead of trying to convince us that muslims don't really do things like that, try denouncing those practices publically. That would put you in a much more favorable light.

#3 Spin doctors for Global Jihad. If they can't recognize what the problem is with the "image" os Islam, then they're fully part of the campaign.

Going to lay down the rules for dhimmitude in a cute commercial for us?

#4 I've already seen this in action. Expect your local TV shows to start highlighting the stylishness of women who wear Burkas, and burka wearing women or Muslim men to begin appearing in sitcoms or in other broadcasts. Expect Muslims to become the "new cool" in the MSM and on billboards. They will be portrayed as strong in the face of adversity, with families that don't fall apart (violence ignored), wise, stylish and always have little halos painted over their heads.

Burkas will become chic and rebellious; never mind they are forced to wear them. You mark my words. The magazines successfully made heroin addiction chic in the 90's.

#5 Considering they already have the media, and a good percentage of the politicians on their side, this is the public arena is the only one remaining.
