Not the Book of the Week

Why, when the BBC is so interested in FGM and women’s rights, does it ignore a book by Elham Manea, a Muslim, that says the Islamic laws that some sharia courts in the UK propagate are more antiquated and extreme than in parts of Pakistan, courts that enforce laws that condone wife beating, ignore marital rape, allow men to have 4 wives and give the father ultimate power over everything his daughter does?

She says that the courts increase segregation, inequality and discrimination and eventually foment political instability and home-grown terrorism.

Surely some eye-catching statements there…and yet the BBC has ignored them preferring instead to keep feeding us conservative Islamic propaganda from the MCB through the ‘moderate’ voice of Ibrahim Mogra….the same MCB that says these same Sharia courts ‘perform an important function.’

Why is her book, ‘Women and Sharia Law’, not on Book of the Week?….after all the BBC instantly, the day it was published, put on corrupt Muslim cop, Ali Dizaei’s book, on the programme because it made lurid claims about police discrimination against him…the BBC is ever drawn to claims of racism for some reason…but only racism by white people.

The BBC is however quick to get a quote off her if it can be used to condemn Saudi Arabia (She is of Yemeni descent)…ironically the BBC complaining about the same Islamic laws that are being introduced into the UK…and yet it remains silent about that whilst being very vocal about the far distant Saudi Arabia.

The BBC has also ignored another major book…a biography of Tony Blair…..which the Daily Mail led with most of the week and the BBC studiously ignored even in its papers review….which was remarkable given its dominance in the Mail’s coverage….but of course you can understand the BBC’s reluctance when you know the contents of the book and how they are so diametrically opposed to the narrative that the BBC has spun for so many years about immigration….
