Salam Cafe on SBS Wednesdays at 10 pm

Given the running around in circles that has tended to beset the comments here every time Islam gets mentioned — need I mention the latest example? — it seems appropriate to plug this show. I’ll certainly be giving it a go.

Meanwhile on another front…

Would someone like to explain how the NSW Young Liberals’ Dob in a Leftie Campaign (aka Make Education Fair) is all that different, really, from the reported activities of the Council of Imams and others on the subject of a pomo feminist course on Women in Islam at the University of Western Sydney?

UPDATE ON SALAM CAFE

Wednesday: About to watch the first of the 2008 series; the trailer is hilarious. I have added two segments from earlier series to the VodPod on the right. Very Melbourne too, in many ways…

…and now I have seen it: see comments below. :)

I have updated the link and that screen shot so you can now watch the show from wherever you are.

    Here I am reading your blog and the show is on right now. Hughsey is on. I find him annoying most times but he doesn’t appear to be screaming right now. Bugger, I’ve missed the first 20 minutes.

    Yeah, but he had one of the best lines: “We’re all idiots, I mean all idiots, and while we can remember that and laugh at ourselves, things’ll be OK. That’s why I love this show!” — I paraphrase from memory, but close…

    Yes, good fun and it sure beats pontificating… :)

    You people overseas — check the site; there’s a lot there.
