Police have reported Channel 4 to the broadcasting regulator, OFCOM, over the way footage from an undercover investigation was edited, amid claims that the Police have no evidence and are acting in a politically correct manner.
The programme Undercover Mosque which went out on 15th January investigated mosques run by organisations claiming to be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths.
In the programme a speaker at the Sparkbrook mosque in Birmingham a preacher is captured on film praising the Taliban. In response to the news that a British Muslim solider was killed fighting the Taliban, the speaker declares: 'The hero of Islam is the one who separated his head from his shoulders.'
Another speaker says Muslims cannot accept the rule of non-Muslims. 'You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir [non-Muslim],' a preacher, Dr Ijaz Mian, tells a meeting held within the mosque. 'We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others.'
The hatred of Muslims towards Non-Muslims is captured on film. “No one loves the kuffar, not a single person here among the Muslims loves the kuffar”. Even Muslims who do not meet the standards are condemned as kuffars. Those who leave Islam are to be killed, literally crucified; hung up on a post for three days and left to bleed to death.
This is madness. How can West Midlands police deem that channel 4 are inciting racial hatred but not these people here!?
