U.K.'s most popular Islamic channel under investigation for promoting "extremism"

SNIPPET: ""Viewers were told that 'the majority of people in hell will be women'." What kind of rabid extremist would say that? Well, Muhammad. In fact, it comes up more than once. Several times, actually.

More on this story. "UK's Islam Channel under investigation," by David Sapsted for The National, March 28:

The Office of Communications (Ofcom) took action after an in-depth survey of the programmes on the Islam Channel by the Quilliam Foundation, a moderate Islamic think tank based in London.

Well....geez....Brits....was it the “Beheading Update”, or the “Kill Your Wives For Ramadan” special, or was it the “You Nuke Israel” program?

The same country that has banned Michael Savage finally figuring out Islamic TV just may have “extremist” programming....
