From Newsweek’s “Periscope” section:

Tired of seeing Muslims on American TV portrayed as terrorists or cabdrivers, Buffalo, New York-based banker Muzzammil Hassan decided to do something about it. His solution: an English-language cable-TV station for North America’s 8 million Muslims. Bridges TV—which Hassan hopes to launch next summer in the U. S. and Canada—is aimed primarily at young adult viewers, who, Hassan says, don’t relate to U.S. TV or to imports like Al-Jazeera. He hopes to attract them with a combination of movies, sitcoms and, yes, religious programming.

The guy was trying to improve the image of Muslims. umm. not so much.
