One year ago today Pakistan was struck by one of the most devestating earthquakes in recent history. Countless lives were lost and an infinite number of people affected. Let us all prey during this month of Ramadaan for those that lost their lives and the families they left behind.

Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Assalam Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak. By now you may have received a response from Rogers. After reading the following facts, please kindly call and email Rogers at:

Telephone: 416.935.4656 (w), 416.371.2917 (c), 416.935.3796 (a)

Rogers Cable collects $70 a month from customers. Rogers pays an average of 50 cents to other networks. All cable operators — Comcast Cable (America’s largest), Time Warner Cable, Cox Cable, Dish Network, Adelphia Cable, Globecast Satellite, Wow Cable, Buckeye Cable, Shrewsbury Cable, Verizon Cable — have agreed to pay 2 cents to Muslim TV. Bridges spends the first penny creating media jobs in Canada for Muslim youths.

From YOUR $70 a month, Rogers Cable wants to pay ZERO for Muslim TV while it pays 50c to networks that label us “Muslim Militants” and “Islamic Terrorists”. All of the above cable operators have found 2 cents as minimal and negligble cost. If Rogers pays ZERO, by contract all other operators will pay ZERO. As you can imagine, this will be the immediate end of Muslim TV.

Rogers Cable is the ONLY cable operator that is trying to kill the Muslim TV. Please ask Rogers Cable to STOP trying to destroy the Muslim voice. Please do not let Rogers Cable kill the only channel that is giving Canadian Muslims a voice in mainstream media. Thank you.
