Netherlands' Newest TV Stars: The Halal Girls

Good grief. The Netherlands has a new popular tv show featuring three muslim young women who host the talk show. The girls say they are all about dispelling taboos about islam. Remember, this is the country that still has the murder of Theo Van Gogh fresh in its memory.
Here's the classic quote from The Halal Girls:

"Our aim is to show that Islam has nothing to do with extremism," Esmaa says.

Tell me, how long will the World buy into this lie? Islam IS extremism. Islam IS violence. Islam IS death. Wake up there my Dutch friends...turn your channel quickly.

Here's the full story.

Netherland's Halal girls

THE HAGUE — They call them the Halal Girls.
They are three young sisters of Moroccan origin who have become TV stars in the Netherlands with a show that braves taboos and projects the true face of Islam.
"We are Dutch of Moroccan roots but we are above all proud Muslims," Esmaa Alariachi, 28, the elder sister, told IslamOnline.net.
Esmaa and her sisters Jihad, 24, and Hajar, 23, began their talk show, The Halal Girls, on channel TV 5 two years ago.
"It all began when Jihad applying for a screen test at TV 5," Esmaa recalls.
"I was impressed to see hijab-clad girls with excellent communication skills, sharp minds and great sense of humor," Yam Coimann, the director of the show, remembers his meeting with the trio after Jihad's test.
The channel then made the sisters an offer to host their own talk show tackling various social issues.
Since then, they have become the Netherlands's TV personalities.

"It was not easy at all for a devout hijab-clad girl to appear on TV," Esmaa, who was before the show an English language teacher, told IOL.
"But it's all behind us now."

"Our aim is to show that Islam has nothing to do with extremism," Esmaa says.
"Extremists exist in every religion. Muslims are not all Bin Laden and Bouyeri.
"We are Muslims too."
