FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT...

>> SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2010

This was sent to me from a Biased BBC reader. I think he picks up on several great points. It concerns
Laura Trevelyan on ‘From our own correspondent’ 11.9.10

"....she reports from New York on the controversy surrounding the Ground Zero Mosque but presents it solely from the Muslim’s perspective except for a relative of a 9/11 victim who supports the building of the Mosque. (amazing that 70% of Americans don’t want the Mosque built in that location but the BBC manages to find so many pro-Mosque advocates among non-Muslims).

She tells us that bewildered Muslims can’t see what all the fuss is about and that Muslims died in the attack also which raises the question who or which religion has the right to speak on behalf of the victims.

This neglects the fact that 9/11 was carried out on behalf of the Islamic religion which is why there are objections....not bewildering really.

She says that the ‘jolly and avuncular’ imam says this is about religious freedom and compares Muslims to the Pilgrim Fathers escaping persecution in England.

She tells us that this is a politically motivated controversy and Muslims are being adversely effected by it....they were alarmed when an ‘angry white man’ stabbed a Muslim cab driver...now other Muslims live in fear not knowing when they might be attacked themselves...hate crime has made a comeback in America."

Fair and balanced?

IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OBSESSED BY SEX?

Further to Robin's post, The Sunday Programme, presented by pouting Suzanna Reid, further puts the boot into the Roman Catholic Church by asking the question"Is the Catholic Church obsessed by sex"? Surely it would be more accurate to ask if the BBC is obsessed by sex? It strikes me that the BBC is up in arms about any Institutions which promote Christian values and which, gasp, might even take the view that homosexuality is not the ideal life-style. Now I am not a Roman Catholic, and I am well aware of the imperfections of that Church and the tragic failures that surround serial child abuse, but the BBC is using this to advance its own insidious agenda which is about removing Faith and substituting it's own secular anything goes agenda. The BBC would like to see the Pope arrested for "crimes against humanity" as one of the studio guests demanded, and I am certain that during the Papal visit the BBC will cheer-lead for the lunatic anti-Church fringe.
