Setting a bit of a precedent isn't it? Using facts against Islam. :D

Using facts against Islam seems to be the way to confront it in public media.

The question is: are Quiliam in it for the long haul too? Islamically speaking that is.

Does anyone think the following could apply to the BBC?

3) Breach: Islam channel found to have an anti-Israel and anti-Palestinian Authority bias, implying favouritism for Hamas:

Ofcom heavily criticised the Islam Channel’s coverage of international affairs and of the Middle East conflict in particular for breaching rules on impartiality. For instance, its Ummah Talk programme, hosted by the Islamist Azad Ali who has previously praised the Hamas leadership, was ruled to have failed to present or seek to explain the views of the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, an outspoken opponent of Hamas. The Politics and Beyond programme, hosted by Muslim Brotherhood supporter Anas al-Tikriti, was also found guilty of similar breaches in relation to the Middle East conflict. Ofcom ruled that:

Ofcom ruling:
“Just because a particular viewpoint on an issue of political or industrial controversy or matter relating to current public policy is likely to be supported by the overwhelming majority of a channel’s audience (or various international and political institutions) does not obviate the need for broadcasters to comply with Section Five of the Code.”

Brian of London has been actively occupying a very small slice of hideously over-occupied Tel Aviv since early 2009.


Islam is a giant bungee cord tying it's adherents to the 7th century.
They can pull themselves almost to the twenty first century but eventually the cord tightens and flings them back.
