I’m sure our more discerning readers will have had a wry chuckle at the news that Mohammed Hamid (Great name, eh?) – one of the most senior terrorist recruiters in Britain – a man who called himself “Osama bin London” – was himself the subject of a BBC documentary called “Don’t Panic I’m Islamic” broadcast in June 2005.
Hamid was recruited, by the BBC, from his stall on Oxford Street to represent ..ahem…the acceptable face of modern Islam. He was filmed, along with co-accused Mohammed al-Figari and 14 other men at a paintball centre in Tonbridge, Kent where they were seen ducking behind oil barrels and shooting at cut out figures before lining up to pray at the end of the day. The documentary was shot in February 2005 at the Delta Force centre because it was convenient for the TV crew but Hamid’s group returned four days before the July 7 attacks, this time bringing with them Ramzi Mohammed and Hussain Osman, who went on to launch failed attacks on July 21. The producer returned to talk to Hamid as the July 21 gang were on the run and said he admitted knowing them and was “agitated, concerned, and worried”, but the producer claimed her bosses took the decision not to notify the police.
The BBC – literally terrorist enablers?

Anyone who really wants to understand the BBC’s connection to Islamic terror should study the BBC’s cosy relationship with Hamas compared to its strained, distant relationship with Fatah. Like metal to a magnet, the BBC is attracted to the most odious, most radical of Islamic terrorists.
When Alan Johnston was freed from rebellious Gaza terrorists by the main Hamas terror gang, an euphoric Johnston cut his BBC interview short by breathlessly exclaiming, “I have to go, I’m having breakfast with the Prime Minister.” Of course, he was talking about chief Gaza terrorist, Ismael Haniyeh.
When the World Service repeated the interview, that little bit had been cut out. Even the BBC realised that was just too revealing of where the BBC stands in relation to terror.
Our stubborn resident blinkered BBC apologist, namely Joel, needs to conduct a little experiment: make a list of the most foul terrorists in today’s world and then check out the respectful, devoted way the BBC reports on them.
If the British authorities don’t prosecute the BBC over the paintballing saga, it will be another nail in the coffin of a once-great nation.
All I know about the case, I have read here and in newspapers etc.
In the post above entitled ‘Don’t Panic, I’m Islamic Part 328’, there is a link to the Editorial Guidlines which state:
‘Any situation where BBC staff may be in potential breach of the Terrorism Act must be referred to Controller Editorial Policy and Programme Legal Advice.’
Given that reports quoted Ms Suleaman as having informed senior BBC managers and asked for guidance I presume it refers to Controller Editorial Policy and Programme Legal Advice.
I know no more about it than that.
1 more point: I sometimes find it quite tiresome to fill in the URL part when posting comments so generally I don’t bother, therefore if there was a link to the BBC Homepage or any other site it may have referred to a previous post or have no relevance whatsoever.
Hope that clear it up, thanks

I think I understand Joel ……so all that time you were defending the old beeb so vigorously, your BBC homepage was just a sort of weird accidental coincidence…..right.
Anyway you’ve now officially unbeeboided yourself – so that’s all right.
Just repeat after me three times “the licence fee is an anachronism which must be abolished” – and I’m sure you’ll be warmly welcomed into the B-BBC community.

Goodness gracious Joel, I’m not that computer literate, but can’t you copy and paste? I have this image of you writing the URL down on a piece of paper and then typing it again into the box. Yes, that would be tiresome.
The URL in the box above is generally filled in by people who have a website of their own. If you don’t have one, leave the bloody thing blank, as 90% of people on this thread have done.
Joel:
“1 more point: I sometimes find it quite tiresome to fill in the URL part when posting comments so generally I don’t bother”
Oh god, doesn’t this sum up the total incompetence and complete lack of common sense of your average Beeboid? How do they get their jobs in the first place??
Anyway Joe, I was saying earlier that you and your colleagues are partly responsible for the deaths of victims killed by Islamic terrorists in the UK. How does it feel to be instrumental in the deaths of innocent people and just HOW DO SCUMBAGS LIKE YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT??
I sleep very well, I imagine your’s is a tortured existence however, running through all those conspiracy theories in your mind…

Are you really an idiot? Or do you put it on just for this blog?
Joel:
No, I sleep just as peacefully as you. To help me drift off I imagine BBC appeasers such as yourself dying slowly and painfully at the hands of Islamic terrorists.
That always gives me a nice warm, comforting glow.
“To help me drift off I imagine BBC appeasers such as yourself dying slowly and painfully at the hands of Islamic terrorists.”
Read it over. Get a grip.
Hugh:
“Read it over. Get a grip.”
I don’t need too. I have no problem with wishing the same kind of death upon the BBC that they are wishing upon us.
The difference is, I don’t have thousands of terrorists willing to do my bidding for me.
If Broadcasting House were to be blown up overnight, I for one would be cheering in the street. It’s agenda and it’s employees are the biggest threat to this country since Hitler.
The sooner they vanish from the face of the earth, the better for all of us. By any means necessary.
As someone said earlier: And Vance is thinking about banning Hillhunt?
Judea etc:
I have no problem with wishing the same kind of death upon the BBC that they are wishing upon us.
That would be A Book At Bedtime followed by Sailing By and then the Coastal Weather, presumably.
That’s not so bad. Give the guy a break.
Biased BBC: Death Wish 2008
What concerns me, is that my money was given to terrorists. I am now instumental in the deaths of innocent people.
The BBC has turned me into a terrorist fundraiser.
I’ll keep saying it, because it’s true – BBC = Scum
Hugh:
Yes Hugh, you are just what we need here. Another spineless wet-rag who thinks whining in a gentlemanly way will somehow change the BBC, and those that don’t show polite decorum to this scum should be silenced.
When you’re up against terrorism, do you seriously think a few reader’s digest letters are going to make the difference?
Get real.
Grimmer:
I am now instumental in the deaths of innocent people.
Only one thing for it. Go down the nick and come clean. We’ll put in a good word.
