New Syrian TV Show Angers Some Arabs

"DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - A new television series being broadcast around the Middle East tells the story of Arabs living in residential compounds in Saudi Arabia and the militant Islamists who want to blow them up so they can collect their rewards in heaven - 72 beautiful virgins.

The show's message: terrorism is giving Islam a bad name, and Muslims are suffering because of the actions of a few.

The programs, which began last Tuesday on the first day of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, have come under a blistering attack on the Internet in Arabic language chat rooms."

Damn! all the Arab dictators are really trying hard to suck up lately. I wonder why, could this mark the end of the "fight them there" part of the WoT. I know that in Iraq the coalition has moved to close the border crossings, and take the fight to the insurgents and their Iraqi host. But now I see a broader change, the story of the Arab league sending that representative to reconcile between the shi's and the sunni, and now this... makes you wonder, I hope we won.
