BEHIND THE VEIL

BBC coverage of Islam is done with such sensitivity, such consideration, one could almost be forgiven for thinking that the BBC is horrifically dhimmified. A Biased BBC reader notes;

“BBC only show programmes that are sensitive to Muslim sensibilites……they must be horrifed that Islamically ‘insensitive’ programmes are being beamed into the heart of the Muslim world….by Muslim, Middle Eastern channels….sense the outrage. 

An article in the Times today (Saturday) reveals that Writer and producer of a 30 episode TV programme,Halla Diyab, has fled to Britain after being persecuted for speaking out against the Burkha…..why hasn’t Woman’s Hour leapt on this human interest story?

The TV programme is called ‘Your Rightful Disposal’…after a verse in the Koran that talks of enslavement of women. It has won two awards in the Middle East. It tackles subjects such as homosexuality, sexual and physical abuse, the burkha, virginity and extremism…surely all fertile BBC ground?

The central character is a woman who moves to France from the Middle East and shows us the liberation she experienced when she removed her burkha. Ahh…that’s why the BBC are not interested. keep ’em covered girls. It’s your culture.

‘Religious scholars want to silence women’ she tells us. But it’s not about religion….it’s sectarian or culture or tribal or….whatever, just not Islam.

Let’s move on! Ask the BBC who Halla Diyab is….’Sorry, there are no results for your search.’ 

 Who’d a’ thunk?”
