/// Tala Rajab, who wrote the report for Quilliam, an anti-extremist think-tank, told the Sunday Telegraph the ‘shocking’ incidents raised serious questions over broadcast regulation ///

/// ‘If these kind of comments were made against black people, for example, you can imagine a channel being shut down overnight, particularly if they had incited violence against a minority.’ ///

Prime example?

Projecting a little bit there aren't you?

Basically as dumb as those Ameican pastors who blamed Hurricane Sandy on gays.

(Yes, really).

Every religion seems to have their share of those who could be described as having 'learning difficulties'.

but this is the same man AOG has posted about, the same scholar attributed to these comments.

Dr Naik, who is based in Mumbai, put a sermon online in 2006 which said ‘every Muslim should be a terrorist.’

So what em?

Neither of those facts 't mean he is representative or believed

I'm not sure what your point is apart from there are numpties broadcasting nonsense in the guise of 'Islamic scholars'

Didn't we already know that

As sp points out, there are also numpties broadcasting in the guise of 'Christian ministers'

because he preaches to millions, not one or two, that many believe his lies, that he certainly doesn't know much about Darwin, that indeed one will find others like him in all religions, but quite frankly this question isn't about Christianity, Judaism, or any other.

/because he preaches to millions/ - ditto American evangelists
/that many believe his lies/ - ditto American evangelists
/that he certainly doesn't know much about Darwin/ - ditto American evangelists

/quite frankly this question isn't about Christianity, Judaism, or any other/

well it's always useful to view things in context; in this case, religious idiots with their own TV channels

[emmie]

do we get the US channels here, via the BBC? I have listened to the tub thumpers in the US, and agree that most wouldn't know Darwin from a hotdog, shame that we can't put all the feckwits in a boat together and shove them out to sea.

Okay...you've lost me now.

Did the BBC broadcast this???

[Zeuhl]

/do we get the US channels here, via the BBC? /

No we get them on the umpteen Christian evangelical channels provided by Sky

- you know

the idiot channels we'd be left with if the BBC was disbanded

[emmie]

don't have sky, so don't need to watch these idiots.

I view it as on about the same level as this:

[emmie]

intentionally blank, or just doesn't play?
