Disgusted with the BBC last night and their website today.
Top four stories on the news last night were:
1) Massacre in Iraq,
2) Suicide bombing in killing and miming dozens market in Baghdad
3) Some unrest in Waziristan in Pakistan following airport attack
4) Growing extremism in British schools
5) Kidnap of three Israeli kids on West Bank
Now today they are going on about a massacre of dozens of people in Kenya on top of the rest.
Can't the BBC just give it a rest as it will only lead to Islamophobia and the demonising of decent law-abiding Moslems who live in this country.

Yes, they should stick to informing the British public about Cheryl Cole's latest tattoo and similar important matters.

I suppose they could have reported the other news stories of the day, like the other stations did.
What DID the other stations report upon, by the way? I'm not really sure that the BBC are to blame for all these acts. I think I must be a bit naive. |

the criminalisation of forced marrieages and the girl married at 12 sent to pakistan, told if she was pregnant then she could go back to Manchester.
and this is what the moderates do to their own!!!! naughty - shouldn't be reported!!! |

Luckily for the McCanns, they aren't muslims...
|
|
By:
It is in fact news, so they are bound to report it
I don't see this as Islamophobia myself I see this as a failure in our own values as well as their values, that people feel the need to turn to this The world itself has taken an unpleasant turn since about 1980 |

Looking back we had no problems with Islamic countries in the past...Nobody told me Islam was bad at school
so how is it bad now????? there must be a cause for this...since they feel the need to regress about 200 years |
|
By:
They forgot about the 50 people killed in Kenya by Somali Islam lovers. Apparently spent 7 hours on the rampage killing anybody who could not answer questions related to Islam .

I have suggested our country aids African especially ex colonies
to fight Islamic terrorists...not a lot a lot of response from our government I assume they cant find them Irish |

By:
I think some of the problem has been the fall of the Soviet Union
they were a friend to some of these poorer countries, they have no one now, so they have tuned back to religion sadly I note that the richer Western countries push capitalism at all costs...and some dubious moral values in some cases the poorer countries are being pushed towards Islam as a result I feel It is a great pity...as I think this an extremely regressive step..... |

And not a dickie bird about the 250 schoolgirls in Nigeria That was on the BBC news pages on television for quite a few days. It was changed from an initial report of 250, down to 200, about 2 days in. If you read BBC news pages on television, whatever's on there on Friday night rarely changes over the weekend. You'd think nothing happened in the world for two days. |

All religions are deluded and their followers should be classed as having a mental illness. Islam is particularly evil. you may well be right lybertyne, the problem is I think all non religious people are the same so are we are not getting anyway Religion is a concept, it is human beings who are evil I would suggest tolerance all round, as we had 40/50 years ago If you dig deep enough and find the cause, it is actually over land, not religion at all it has completely drifted out of hand |

All of Islam should not judged by Islamic Terrorists When we invade their countries, it is hardly the fault of Islam, the fault is with us, the invaders The levels of hate we are seeing in Syria and Iraq, I feel have been uncorked by us |
|
By:
That is unfortunately mistaken elbuGery.
The level of hatred between Sunni and Shia has always been there, and ultimately it is a matter which they seemed determined to resolve by miltary means. Let them have their Reformation. |

It would be quickest and easiest to supply them ALL with some proper heavy weaponry and allow them to sort it out in the desert. No need for all this destruction of property. Get out in the f***ing desert and don't come back until you have acquired tolerance or death!
|
|
By:
The levels of hate may have been there
but not these appalling civil wars, that is something, I feel we are responsible for because we invade and deliberately destabilise these countries then blame them of course, I don't, I blame us There is one cause driving all this the creation Of Israel since we cannot uncreate it, I suggest we stay away, they are big enough to look after themselves We have completely lost control of the situation in Syria, we may be able to at least restore some order in Iraq I don't know????? |
|
By:
no gery you are wrong
we gave them democracy and look what they have done with it a corrupt regime we are much better look what Blair did with democracy ha ha ha!!! Sorry couldn't resist it!!!! |

By:
we agree to disagree moisok

By:
except the last line
|
|
By:
I respect your views on them moisok, you don't like their values, well they are different to ours
so your views are honest but I feel some very bad things have gone down here, and we are at the heart of them, I do not respect this for a start, how can the US write in it's foreign policy 'the downfall of Iraq', that is in fact an undeclared declaration of war, that is from the early 90's I believe |

I am joking - just about all politicians are corrupt is what I should be saying.

So ebulgery, is the one cause the creation of Israel, or the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan?
I told you already, the Sunnis regarded the Shia as idolatrous apostates long before Israel was created, a millennium before in fact. We should not be involved, this is an internecine war between different branches of Islam. Those who have fostered it - Iran and Saudi Arabia - should be told to deal with it. |
|
By:
but wait till they come back home
|
|
By:
If we let Iran deal with it properly, they won't be coming back home.
Anyway, I'm sure our ultra-competetnt Border Agency will have it all under control. |
