Commodifying Islam…

Don’t count on this kind of embrace not occurring here. The San Francisco Chronicle (voice of the Left Coast) published a piece yesterday (Sunday, 2/26/06) with the headline, “Muslim TV minister markets a trendy Islam to youth,” featuring Amr Khaled in Cairo as a highly popular Islamic TV preacher.

It’s kind of funny in a way, “Here comes the preacher man.” Shades of pop kabbalah, we know what’s coming next, pop dervishism.

Here’s a link to the article:

He says his work is popular in Arab countries because both the arrangement and lyrics offer listeners something new and different from Arabic pop, which typically deals with love and romance.

Let’s hear it for Arabic pop that deals with love and romance, the more the better. Anything that will give young Muslims a buy-in to this world instead of a fixation on the next.
