BBC Drama Has Christian Beheading Muslim

You couldn't make it up; There's no way the BBC would show a drama where a Muslim was seen to be beheading someone, which is a far more likely scenario than what the BBC did do - show an extremist Christian decapitating a Muslim. IF there was any real danger of Christians behaving this way then the cowardly BBC would have used another faith, but Christians are a safe bet.

BBC Bonekickers drama blasted for showing images of a Muslim being beheaded

A BBC drama has triggered a barrage of complaints after it showed gruesome images of a Muslim being beheaded.

Bonekickers, about a group of archeological sleuths, depicted an extremist Christian decapitating a man with a sword.

The bloody scene has prompted 100 complaints since it was broadcast on BBC1 on Tuesday evening.

Yesterday the corporation admitted 'regret' that viewers had found the scene 'inappropriate', but defended its decision to show it.

Some viewers were taken aback when former EastEnders actor Paul Nicholls was seen in the drama hacking off a moderate Muslim's head in an unprovoked attack.

He plays a member of the fictional White Wings Alliance, a group of far-Right evangelical Christians inspired by the Crusades.

The show, watched 6.8million, also sparked new claims of anti-Christian bias in BBC programmes.

One viewer wrote on the corporation's website: 'If it had been another religion portrayed in that manner, the PC police would have been up in arms about the nastiness and their rights not to have their religion ridiculed - as it was Christians, it was apparently OK.'

From a blogger in discussion:

"Come on guys. The BBC was clear that it was producing a work of dramatic fiction. If they showed a Muslim beheading someone, it would have been a reality show. God knows British TV has enough of those."

He's got a point

Honestly, I don't see this doing anything but simply affirming for the casual viewer any lingering suspicion about bias/agenda. It seems to me its so extreme, its stupid. Obsessed with power the Left sometimes, can be their own worst enemy having no clue. But the BBC has bet the opposite: the average viewer is stupid.

The 'average viewer' doesn't think - which is why the media is so powerful, since they do the 'thinking' for them and they know it.
When you read the 'Editors Blog' on the BBC website you see a clear example of one way they consciously use to 'guide' their reader to accept their point of view.

The messenger has long since realised how much power they wield by how they deliver their message. The great pity is their message is so stupid and limited because their intellect doesn't measure up to any great vision - just greed and opportunism.
