The Sun Online - Sun Says Terrorvision
Terrorvision
WHO exactly is running the BBC — Osama Bin Laden?

It looks worryingly like he is as Auntie considers pulling a £1million Spooks episode because it shows a terrorist being shot dead.

The target is portrayed as an Osama henchman and the Beeb is worried about reprisals.

But a terrorist is a terrorist.

And right now, almost all terrorists are acting in the name of al-Qaeda. They are at war with us.

If we are cowed into timorous self-censorship now, we are already losing the first battle.

**********************************************************************************

Stoat says:  It's also highly instructive that one of the 'usual suspect' characters (villians?) was of course a 'fundamentalist' Christian....there was apparently no worry on the part of BBC bosses of upsetting Christians by yet another bigoted and hysterical portrayal of a person of Christian faith....no, that was okay with the BBC.  The problem for them was in the possibility of upsetting Muslims, who just happen to be the primary purveyors of terror and strife in the world today.

It's unfortunate that the BBC is no more enlightened than our own TV networks here in the USA, who have lost this stoat as a regular viewer long ago due to their gleeful, unapologetic Left-wing bias and Christian-bashing.

Jack Bauer > Shaun Dingwall anyway, because Jack Bauer > all. Let's export a bunch of 24 DVDs to Jolly Old England.

Amen, stoat. But remember, we were able to get that awful Christian-bashing show off network in just 2-3 episodes.

Anyway, t.v. makes us stupid. Except for Seinfeld reruns! ;o)

Why should shooting a terrorist anger Muslims?

And what is a "renegade Christian"?

And how could a network ever get away with naming a show "Spooks" in the first place unless it was a spin-off from ghostbusters?

"an al-Qaeda terrorist is shot dead"



Of course it will upset Muslims. Despite the rhetoric about how the vast majority of Muslims are not extremists, the fact is that they are.

Spooks, called MI-5 when it airs in the states, is one of the best programs on today.

If you are a fan of 24, you will like this show. My only advise is to get the dvd's and start watching from season one. A & E has the rights to run them here, and they butcher the show to death while squeezing in all the commercials.

But actor Shaun Dingwall who plays a renegade Christian gunman, fears he could become a target for fundamentalists if the scene is aired.

What? An actor that knows he really isn't some kind of baddass, heartthrob, politician with delusions of godhood....

Hell, at least our American rappers actually shoot each other....walk the walk and all that.

What a sissy, I guess he doesn't have much faith in body guards.....with sticks instead of Uzi's....welcome to Britain shaun.....

Does he mean by Christian fundamentalists or Islamic fundamentalists?

So terrorism works. We've seen evidence of that in the last few weeks.

So what's going to happen? More terrorism. Count on it.

I tried to watch MI-5, but it seemed to me they had a bias against Christians, and the US government..Perhaps, if I had just watched it on mute..oh, well, I like 24 better.

This is rubbish as it will cause more upset if they don't show it. I'm a muslim and I don't sympathise with terrorists and neither do many. How many times do WE have to say it? The cartoons were a different matter as that was about the prophet not a terrorist. Navaz Rauf

Well, if true, I applaud Mr. Rauf for not sympathizing with terrorists. But too few Muslims say it, and not loudly or often enough.

Muslims have no reason to be offended. Al Qaeda terrorists aren't "real" muslims. That is why they don't denounce the terrorism. Or so I've been told.

It is far, far better for the MSM to put stories of how US Soldiers abuse terrorists at Al Ghraib Prison - in an effort to redirect anger at American soldiers, than to actually publish anything at all that may anger even the angriest of Muslims. This way, the presstitutes can feel safe and secure in their cowardly surrender.

Case in point: Just this week, FT (The Financial Times) put a phtotograph of an abused Iraqi prisoner on the FRONT PAGE - again!


In March 2000, CNN showed a picture of the Virgin Mary made out of dung:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/STYLE/arts/03/27/museum.flap/index.html
Right there on CNN’s website you have a picture of "The Holy Virgin Mary" by British artist Chris Ofili. He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that ‘work’.

This garbage posing as ‘art’ was deemed offensive to Christians. CNN had no qualms about showing it and offending Christians. It has remained on their web site until today. Nearly five years now.

In fact, if you click on the link above, you will see this ‘work’ - still proudly displayed on CNN’s website.

Now the violent Muslims are rampaging and burning things - again - about a few cartoons, and CNN says, “CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons out of respect for Islam.”
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/02/05/cartoon.protests/index.html
Follow this link and read the last line in the article.

Hypocrisy?
Do not trust the MSM.

Once the Western press is properly cowed and pictures of pigs are no longer permitted on government property and pork is not served in government eateries (schools included) we are going to find out that an infidel being an infidel is offensive to sensitive Saracens.Maybe they don't have to conquer by sword or by birthrate.
