I have observed that even in America, more and more consumers are looking for media sources which aren't so biased and imperious as the FOXnews and local "rah rah U-S-A" formula.
Al Jazeera English has grown exponentially in popularity and influence in America and Europe as a result.
But eventhough Al Jazeera English is owned and funded by the Qatari Media Corp and shaykh Hamad, it retains a secular liberalist dogma and ideology. In fact, AJE has almost no association with Islam.
But this leaves a major market gap, especially in the english speaking Muslim world.
The Anglo American global empire has sought to make english the global language and the language of business. It has also become a unifying language among educated Muslims, especially in the Gulf.
And there is no english media geared towards Muslims- all are secular and even anti Islamic (see Al Arabiya english website and many more).
Cii Broadcasting has the right idea, but is disadvantaged from being outside of the market area.
Right now, Muslims in the West, educated Muslims in Asia and Arabia, all have in common english language. And many are looking for authentic Muslim media sources.
