The BBC does a hatchet job on a firm of lawyers who support the Christian employee in the US who refuses to marry gay couples….The legal team behind Kentucky’s defiant clerk
We are told that ‘It has been labelled a hate group and one of twelve organisations embarking on an “anti-gay crusade” in the US, but it is a group that anti-gay rights activists are increasingly turning to to represent their views.’ So fairly clear how we are supposed to perceive this firm and Christian views.
Fair enough you might say if a certain group’s views are judged illiberal and prejudiced but of course that’s is only fair enough if the BBC applies the same standards to all religions…..not just the one that Muslim Mishal Husain declared was deeply ‘unpleasant and backward’…and it wasn’t Islam.
How is it that one of the BBC’s favourite commentators can get away with this, and indeed his religion get away with it?…
As a Muslim, I struggle with the idea of homosexuality – but I oppose homophobia
I am also (to Richard Dawkins’s continuing disappointment) a believing Muslim. And, as a result, I really do struggle with this issue of homosexuality. As a supporter of secularism, I am willing to accept same-sex weddings in a state-sanctioned register office, on grounds of equity. As a believer in Islam, however, I insist that no mosque be forced to hold one against its wishes.
Paradoxically, ‘as a Muslim’, he quotes the Koran to prove that Islam is not homophobic:
Out of the 114 chapters of the Quran, 113 begin by introducing the God of Islam as a God of mercy and compassion. The Prophet Muhammad himself is referred to as “a mercy for all creation”. This mercy applies to everyone, whether heterosexual or homosexual.
Er…how is it that ‘as a Muslim’ then he has a problem with homosexuality if the Koran says all is fair in love and war?…well not war obviously, there is no mention of war in the Koran!
Just another example of the BBC’s hypocrisy….and they’re not in short supply today…….
The BBC must be squirming with embarrassment then over this…
‘I can’t believe they picked him over me!’ Eggheads’ CJ de Mooi claims Strictly bosses snubbed him for Jeremy Vine after he asked for same-sex dance partner
Eggheads star CJ de Mooi has blasted BBC bosses for being behind the times after claiming he was snubbed for a place on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing because he asked for a same-sex partner.
The openly gay 45-year-old – who sits on the panel of the hit BBC quiz show – said producers opted to go with the programme’s host Jeremy Vine after he asked to dance with a man during negotiations.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: ‘I can’t believe they picked Jeremy over me. I’m quite upset. It’s because I wanted to dance in a same-sex couple.
Is the BBC a homophobic hate group then?
Oh and one more….not done Stewart Lee for a while (not in a gay way…not that that would be wrong!) so here goes…..he doesn’t like religion and has made a programme about the illiberal nature of blasphemy laws….
Whilst he is happy mostly attacking Christians he does mention Islam in there…however when back in the real world and having to make those dangerous ‘blasphemous’ statements he’s a lot more coy when it comes to Islam…in fact rather than attack Islam and Muslim extremism he attacks those ‘Islamophobes’ who are brave enough to stand up and have their say so don’t let the title of the video fool you….and his latest tour apparently has the same narrative about Islamophobia…
Julian Clary, Colin Jackson, Russell Grant, the swimmer – all openly gay – have happily danced with women as do the professionals Ian Waite and Robin Windsor. De Mooi is an arrogant shit and is clearly one of the gay mafia who try to ruin things that the majority want to enjoy. He is clearly the most unpleasant of the eggheads despite Chris whatsit being on it too. It shows his nasty performances on eggheads is not an act.
I know I`ll be in a minority here-but I like Stewart Lee.
Much better than he was with the useless Richard Herring…and , if you take the flatpack socialist memes out-he can be very good.
Unfortunately-that is about 100% 0f the act as given above.
Like all lefties-he blusters, promises-then completely avoids saying anything “anti-Islamic” with a classic pack of cherry bombs and Daily Mail/McWhirter references( McWhirter was 1974 Stew-hardly current is it?).
In fact, his “anti-islamic” USP is just a cover to confirm how craven and supine the Left is, when it comes to comedy and Islam.
Stew wrote Jerry Springer-The Opera, but(of course) he`d no more offend Muhammad than upset Alan Yentob.
Harry Enfield now THERE`S a brave comedian who continues to push it…which is what the cultural lefties used to boast about.
But not since 1997, when the New Model Armee of Lefty Conformity set up.
Grayson Perry at least knows any anti-Islam pose on his part would risk a bomb in his frillies…and is man enough to say that.
The rest won`t-don`t and can`t….
Fine comedy piece in at around 12 mins when Lee refers to the Guardian as a “bastion of free speech”.
And Polly piles in to say that the Danish cartoons failed on artistic grounds-so “discretion was the better part of valour” in effect.
Oh how brave-and Shami concurs too, admitting that she knows a synthetic campaign when she saw one.
Funny that Polly and Stew, Shami etc don`t see Global Warming, EU integration and the whole liberal progressive consensus as NOT being a faith system that hounds and censors its heretics and critics.
Moats and beams anybody?….a reference for the few of us that still know the source of THAT relic of language.
Once again the BBC relies upon its ‘affiliate’ – the hateful Southern Poverty Law Center – as a source of ‘information’. Now, the SPLC is a very wealthy organisation, with reported assets in excess of $150 million (see http://www.thesocialcontract.com/answering_our_critics/southern_poverty_law_center_splc_info.html). Question: is there any exchange of funds between the BBC and SPLC and if so, in which direction? Not an accusation, just a question.
‘If two men commit a lewd act, punish them both’ The Koran Sura 4 ‘Women’ verse 16. I take this to be a Koranic proscription of homosexuality. Anyway, why is everyone trying to be perfect? Why is everyone so afraid of being labelled as prejudiced? People who the lefties label as prejudiced might say that they are acting out of principle & in fact prejudice & stereotyping usually turn out to be correct in the end. They are very important & necessary characteristics of human psychology. Good luck to this person who refuses to marry gays & his legal representatives, let them strike a blow for freedom.
It’s quite possible to oppose gay marriage and still oppose public servants who refuse to carry out a court order that they are employed to enforce.
deegee
How do you feel about public servants (police) who fiddle the crime figures?
How do you feel about public servants (local council workers) who shred the evidence of mass rapes in Rotherham etc?
How do you feel about public servants (consultants in the NHS) who walk down the wards but fail to see symptoms of malnutrition and starvation in patients but write to the Times every time there is a new Labour health policy?
How do you feel about the CPS, The Border Agency, the MOD, and almost every other public organisation who do not do their jobs properly or at all?
One story from the USA and you come to BBBC with some dual standards. The offences noted above happen 24/7/365(6) in their tens of thousands and all you can do is sit on the fence because a few queers are offended.
