There are certain news events that one can be certain of finding a particular slant by the BBC to note.
The recent finding by the Adjudication panel that the mayor brought his office into disrepute with comments made to the Jewish Evening Standard reporter by likening him to a concentration camp guard, is just such a story.
Mayor is suspended over Nazi jibe
Now why should Iqbal Sacranie be asked for his opinion about this event? What on earth does it have to do with him?
This is where Iqbal becomes a champion of democracy by stating
Who needs to spend money making comedy programmes, when real life gives it for free.
Millions of Muslims protesting and chanting "death to the infidels" over a cartoon which rightly shows parallels between the apparent teachings of Mohammed and suicide bombers, as put forward by fundamentalists worldwide, is not over-reaction. A demonstration organised by Iqbal Sacranie of the Muslim Council, among others, with the help of our mayor. Is there an irony here?
Democratic traditions? Like Holocaust Day, which Sacranie refuses to recognize?news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4582736.stm
What a joke, the only problem is that the BBC does not intend it as such.
