What Do You Think Channel 4
Is hoping to gain by this.

I'm curious as to why they are doing this. I would imagine that most Muslims would already have something in place and would also presume judging by some of the comments (Yes I know it's the Mail but their readers are viewers too)
that this will alienate some.
So I can only see a lose/lose situation here.
Any thoughts?

I'd be rather more concerned about the entire channel dedicated to Christianity that is God TV, which yesterday had a series of programmes dedicated to rubbishing Science in favour of Creationism. That's far more disturbing, frankly, that prayers at 3am that most of the Target audience already have covered anyhow.

I had already stated many times that it was just a humorous remark, but others deemed to make more out of it than was intended.
So I say to you and all those who you defend, when you all show the same sentiments and respects that you demand that I show you, then I will certainly be prepared to respect others equally.
In reply to your input.
/// instead you have to take yet another opportunity to put yourself higher than everyone else. How snobbish of you. ///
If you believe that I seek yet another opportunity to put myself higher than everyone else, I can only say that impression must come only from someone that possesses an obvious inferiority complex.
So therefore it is not I who is snobbish, which you also rudely put, but yourself being rather paranoid.

/// The broadcaster will provide extensive coverage of the Muslim period of prayer to challenge those who associate the religion with extremism and
terror ///
And how is that going to happen?
Could it be while they are at prayer they cannot be seen associated with extremism and terror?
A JOKE, a JOKE, a JOKE, I hasten to add

Oh dear haven't any of the usual suspects commented yet on The Sun's humorous approach to this story?

I know it may have been funny to you, but in order for it to have traction humour-wise, it would need to 'speak to the truth' or 'confirm our prejudices'.
Because Muslims are not generally regarded as workshy, the joke failed.
You may have meant it to be humorous, but it went askew.
Joke:
Q. Do you know how the Grand Canyon was formed ?
A. A Scot dropped a penny in a golf hole.
Non-joke:
Q. Do you know how the Grand Canyon was formed ?
A. A Peruvian dropped a penny in a golf hole.
Unless a demographic is (fairly or, in most cases, unfairly) associated with a particular character trait, the joke doesn't work.
But then again, it's easy to say something's a joke once people call you out on it.

Additionally, on the first day of Ramadan, Channel 4 will also air 20-second bursts of the chant at four other prayer times. It will break into its regular schedule, interrupting programmes, to give the 20-second bursts at 1.11pm, 5.26pm, 9.20pm and 10.49pm.
Channel 4 recently came under fire after giving airtime to militant ranting radical Anjem Choudary. His latest boast is Islam is the fastest growing idealogy in the country - by some accounts Britain could be Muslim country by 2015! So now they are 'employing' Hassen Rasool to spout his chants live on television. And the Islamic Emergency Defence group say ''We want to see Sharia law in the UK.''
All sounds nice and cosy for the future.

"To spout his chants" sir.prize? The man's a muezzin. Whose chants do you mean? Choudry's? They are no more Choudry's than they are of any Muslim. What next? Are you going to condemn a Cantor chanting as supporting Zionist militancy, or a Catholic priest conducting prayers and responses as thereby supporting the IRA?
