Has anybody noticed how the BBC has suddenly stepped up it's Media onslaught on UK muslims? eg the reports on stuff in Oldham..i mean a guy from pakistan in his sixties was punched in the face and knocked out by football thugs in Bradford which the BBc didn't report... the polices own investigation of the 'riot' incident states that a bunch of hindu's was attacked in a pub and one of them fled into a muslim restaurant after which a riot started between the football supporters who had assaulted himand the muslim youths who thought it was some sort of racial attack...the bbc stated it was a racial riot by muslim youths! the bbc have found a hindu leader in bradford who states his community is moving out of bradford..naturally..we note how easily hindu's are given jobs in certain professional firms by certain ethnic groups now the bbc states that before it uses any muslim reporter it will AMAZINGLY state what political views he holds! and this will only apply to muslims i propose we turn on the Spotlight to these rats in the bbc who are behind this ethnic cleansing campaign (remember servia started it's genocide using the media) |

| Asalaamu Alaikum ;-) [quote] now the bbc states that before it uses any muslim reporter it will AMAZINGLY state what political views he holds! and this will only apply to muslims [/quote] The following is a press release released by the Muslim Council of Britain in response to the above story [hr] 16th May 2001 BBC Religious Discrimination Policy Against Muslim Journalists In an alarming development, the BBC has caved in to pressure from pro-Israeli MPs and has decided to highlight the religious affiliation of Muslim journalists who broadcast news reports. In a letter from the BBC Radio 4 flagship programme, The World Tonight, BBC officials said that the journalist Faisal Bodi's alleged position as "an avowed supporter of Islamic causes" "should have been made clear" in the introduction to his news report of April 17th 2001. "This perceived policy of religious discrimination against Muslim journalists is odious and absolutely unacceptable and must be withdrawn immediately," said Mr Yousuf Bhailok, Secretary-General of the MCB. "It is a perverse decision. The BBC has accepted that Mr Bodi's report was 'factual, fair and balanced', yet they are insisting - in the wake of pro-Israeli protests - that Mr Bodi's alleged political and religious affiliation should be broadcast as well. The BBC certainly does not do this for the many Jewish journalists that work for them - so why for a Muslim journalist?" added Mr Bhailok. The MCB calls on the BBC to renounce this policy of religious discrimination and uphold its commitment to fair and balanced news reporting which is now under threat because of the vociferous protests of many pro-Israeli MPs and Jewish organisations.
