    Default C4 'distorted' mosque programme

    Link

    So, Channel 4 made a documentary that showed several preachers making extreme comments. The police managed to find that these were taken out of context, and that airing them on TV was incitement. Apparently letting people know about extremist views is a crime whereas having them isn't really as bad.

    this came up on Channel 4 news and was very amusing. One of the Clerics was interviewed. His comments were all "out of context". Apparently such phrases as "even with a PhD women are deficient" and "Bin laden is worth 1,000 of Tony Blair as Bin laden is Muslim" have a context that makes them OK... No, he wasn't able to recall what the context was, but was quick to (repeatedly) refer us to the investigation the police had done.

    When this undercover dispatches was done to the BNP the police didn't go after the show. They were simply white racists, end of story.

    Is even recognising that all is not well in the integrated society of the UK now not allowed? Or am I having a blinkered diatribe against the police who are being completely fair?
