Radical Muslims given Channel 4 slot

Radical Muslims given Channel 4 slot

A radical Muslim who led the banned group al-Muhajiroun is to be handed his own programme on Channel 4 amid claims that Islamists have been allowed to monopolise the broadcaster's coverage.

David Barrett, Home Affairs Correspondent 8:00AM GMT 28 Nov 2010

Anjem Choudary, who was also involved with the banned group Islam4UK which planned a protest march through Wootton Bassett, will have free reign to give his views during an edition of the channel's daily opinion slot, known as 4thought.tv.

The counter-terrorism think-tank Quilliam has written to David Abraham, the Channel 4 chief executive, to complain about airtime already given to radical Muslims during the series.

It claimed that 4thought.tv had failed to properly identify the ideological allegiances of presenters and that a disproportionate amount of time had been given to extremists.

The format of the short programme allows guest presenters to give their views unchallenged.

Talal Rajab, from Quilliam, said: "Given the profoundly negative impact that al-Muhajiroun and Islam4UK have had on the social cohesion of the UK, it is highly inappropriate for a mainstream public broadcaster to be providing such a popular platform for their fanatical views.

"Moreover, al-Muhajiroun was banned by the British government because of its links to individuals who had committed acts of Islamist-inspired terrorism.

"We therefore urge Channel 4 to reconsider airing Anjem Choudary's film, and to aspire to feature a more representative and moderate portrayal of Islam in all future programming."

Choudary, who has described the 9/11 bombers "magnificent martyrs", will say in his programme to be broadcast on Dec 5 that British Muslims are "persecuted".

Channel 4 has already broadcast a film by another radical Muslim, Abu Nusaybah, who supported Choudary's plan for an Islamist march through Wootton Bassett, the scene of tributes to fallen British soldiers. In it, Nusaybah called for sharia law to be introduced in Britain.

The letter from Quilliam to Channel 4 said: "While freedom of speech is important and Anjem Choudary and his followers undoubtedly have the right to put forward their repugnant views, we find it inexplicable that they should be allowed to monopolise such an important strand of Channel 4's programming at the expense of other British Muslims who are overwhelmingly tolerant and good-natured people."

Choudary told The Sunday Telegraph: "Quilliam are sycophants on the British Government payroll, and it is in their own interest to criticise people like ourselves who are calling for sharia and being normal Muslims.

"It did not surprise me to be invited to take part in the programme."

No one at Channel 4 was available to comment.

I agree. These Islamists should be given every opportunity to show us the real face of Islam, free from taqiyya and pretenses of 'moderation'.

Actually, I'm pleased they have Anjem on - at least he opens his gob and comes out with it unlike the crafty weasels of the mainstream islamic pressure groups.
What we should do is all email Channel 4 (4thought has its own webpage) and say that in the interests of balance, Pat Condell should be on.
Winston Churchill on Islam ; ' The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world....

Hopefully, like the poppy burning, it will be another own goal.

I'd go for that - just watch the ratings soar if Pat was given a slot!

I still think he is banned in some way by MSM and that is why he posts on youtube.

So no invite

Good point, whatever people may say about Anjem he is honest, and his honesty should be publicised.
I would love to see him on mainstream television, perhaps one suddenly replacing that jungle programme so the drones could see what is really going on. Howabout a primetime slot with a Parkinson type programme 'Anjem meets celebrities from the world of global jihad'?
These peoples views need publicising as much as possible, and if the media want to do it for certain reasons that doesn't mean they can't be capitalised on

I’d much prefer to see the EDL have its own TV slot.
Anyone want to be a TV personality?

Pat Condell, what a guy. I'm actually heartened to read the comments beneath his youtube vids. It's obvious his message is getting-across to both sides of the 'debate'. The jihadis/leftists hate his irony and eloquence for the same reason that i love it. I forward his vids to many receptive people much to their appreciation. It's amazing the amount of people who say, "i never saw it like this!". And that's it eh? WE ALL have a duty to bring militant-islam into the lime-light. To bring the focus on the hate-filled idealogue that it is. Delighted to've joined this club.... ;) :uk:

Anjem
Choudary and his followers
undoubtedly have the right to
put forward their repugnant
views
My first thought maybe it was just instinct was no they do not, there's a fine line between free speech and hate speech and they are so far beyond that line it can only push the masses even closer to us than they already are, so come on let the rest of us know what you think of your temporary place of residence!

This programme should be aired imo. It's not like the programme is going to make people agree with him.

The way I see it, the Quilliam foundation don't want this aired because it makes Islam look bad.

Fantastic news!! The most Andy Choudry gets out there and spreads his hate filled words the better.

The biggest battle we will have is to prove that his views are but a mere degree different from that of the "moderates". The moderate Muslim wanting Sharia... etc...
