One has to wonder, with all the resources that the BBC has across the world, why it is that English newspapers like the Times and Daily Mail are able to run stories that so far don't appear on the BBC landscape.
Could it be because it puts Muslims and Islam in a bad light that the BBC finds some justification, like not in the public interest, to run it?
Fact is, as Mark Thompson already admitted in different words, it's not in the BBC interest, because the intimidation they feel from Muslim extremism achieved just what it was supposed to. It highlights the cowards that the BBC truly are, not only humiliated to 'look the other way' as far as this barbaric mentality is applied, but actually try to present it as 'beneficial to our society.
Here's one story from today in the Mail and you can see from the headlines there's no concealing what it is about;
Moroccans demand change to Islamic penal code after girl, 16, kills herself because judge forced her to marry her RAPIST
And another shown by Islam versus Europe from an article in the Times where a man convicted with four others yesterday for his role in subjecting two girls, aged 15 and 16, to a weekend of degrading sexual attacks. The report makes the point that It's interesting that the Times describes the perpetrators as "Muslim" men in its headline. Normally it uses the euphemism "Asian".
Neither story appears on the BBC website, and I have to wonder first whether they will, and second, if they are - will they reference the Muslim or Islamic connection so vividly.
I'll track it for the next few days. I'm willing to bet that if they eventually cover them, this element will be downplayed. They're probably figuring out how to word it right now, which is why the other media can always beat them to publish.
