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…
