Sheffield, lest we forget, is the city that gave us the Bessemer Process/Sheffield Steel, Thornton's, Pulp, Jack Rosenthal and forty years of 'late night Crucible drama' amongst many other fantastic things. A city which has enriched and improved this country for just about everyone.
In more recent times though, the city itself has been 'culturally enriched' by a radio station named IMAM FM…. although it would perhaps be an exaggeration to call it the 'Home of the Hits'. I don't think Diddy David H has ever anchored a 'Drivetime' show there.
The pop-pickers who tune into this 'Community' radio station will now have to find an alternate station on their FM dial, because IMAM FM has lost its broadcasting licence following an OFCOM investigation.
The evidence beggars belief.
The station broadcast 25 HOURS of 'lectures' from a former alleged Al-Qaeda Leader. Suffice to say, the lectures did not concern home-making, flower-arranging or peace, love and understanding.
You would think that the listeners would have been appalled by these broadcasts, and glad to be rid of this poison polluting impressionable minds. Right?
Wrong. Around 300 listeners (to date) are fully supportive of IMAM FM. They've even started a petition to restore IMAM FM's licence. The petitioners say that the stations's "content has always been exemplary".
The listeners needn't worry. There'll surely be another similar 'Community' station coming along soon enough, spouting the same poison.
In the meantime, they can (and probably will) doubtless find many more hours of similar 'lectures' on the Internet. Not 'arf.
No need to worry Alun Will become a BBC sub station ,with a twitter feed and a Blog ,the Slims of Sheffield will be Delighted... And Jolly good Luck to them is What I say.

“Over time, this turned into extended hugs and him kissing my face. He would tell me that I was his best mate and what we had was special. He said it was normal to do these things, even biblical; reading me passages from the Bible."

You see every country will produce bad things, that is the very nature of many countries. However some countries , very few, despite this, become great and beautiful and free like England. Or as England once was.

breedingmad it has been England's job to tame and civilise religion, I don't see any point in inviting in a more dangerous one without even some of the good things such as Christmas carols, and having to try and civilise that. It's too much trouble.

In a graveyard outside Granada the caretaker had to be committed to an asylum , driven mad by the screams of people being murdered at night. The new caretaker and his family lasted 2 or 3 weeks before having to be rehoused outside the cemetery.

No reason to wipe it out Bm, every reason to stop it expanding. Otherwise the best this country can hope for in the future is to be a secular Islamic one.

Yet Breedingmad judging from his extremist stance here, should be asked if he supports all that the station had its licence withdrawn for?

Why don't you simply denounce the extreme stuff they were broadcasting. Instead of attempting to deflect attention away from them by attacking other religions?
You seem to be dangerously on the side of extremists here.
It's a fair question Breedingmad.Why don't you simply denounce the extreme stuff they were broadcasting. Instead of attempting to deflect attention away from them by attacking other religions?You seem to be dangerously on the side of extremists here.

If you attack people who are denouncing wrongdoing, then you are seen to be supporting the wrongdoers.
Which is precisely what you do on a regular basis.

What you are doing is attacking me for attacking all religions therefore I could construe you as defending religion more so than myself, if I wished to use the same methods you use to attack me .

I can't see one word of condemnation for the subject of the topic here.
So where does you impartiality come in?
You're not impartial at all, in fact your agenda here and elsewhere is as clear as crystal.

So Breedingmad, to defend extremism in the way that you did by bringing religion into it, was linking the extremism to a religion.
You've just shot your big toe off.
Again.
This thread was not an attack on a religion.It started off as a report on extremism.So Breedingmad, to defend extremism in the way that you did by bringing religion into it, was linking the extremism to a religion.You've just shot your big toe off.Ag
