While the BBC devote large amounts of air time and web space (admittedly inaccurate – see three posts below) to the story of the Pope and Mohammed, they seem to have missed the scenes which greeted worshippers coming out of Mass at the centre of English Catholicism, Westminster Cathedral, this morning. Obviously not a story that would interest anyone in Britain.
(Biretta-tip – the indefatigable DFH).
P.S. Mohammed is referred to on the BBC website and in all their news reports as “the Prophet Muhammad”. Why isn’t the Pope “the Holy Father” and Jesus the “Lord Jesus Christ”, I wonder ?
UPDATE 18/9/06 – I’ve been informed that there was coverage on BBC Television News last night – it’s just not been on Radio Four or the Web.
