news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7247817.stm"Hundreds of Danish Muslims have been demonstrating in Copenhagen against the reprinting of a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad they consider offensive." www.hindu.com/2008/02/17/stories/2008021755511300.htm"A prominent Danish imam urged rioting youths to stop setting fires and hurling rocks at police after a fifth consecutive night of vandalism in Copenhagen and other Danish cities." Why is this not in the article or any other on the BBC, surely this should be covered on TV too, just the french riots of late?!

Well spotted Van!
Reading news articles on this story from other sources shows the violence from Danish Muslims that has accompanied this 'protest'. It is clear that the BBC are concealing this element and prefer instead to present it as a peaceful and reasoned 'demonstration'.
In addition to the obvious deception foisted on its audience, the lack of solidarity the insidious BBC gives other media threatened by these militants is downright disgusting. Yet they expect worldwide support when any of their journalists, like Alan Johnston, were kidnapped.
The Danish media, and Yllands Posten in particular, are really to be commended for behaving with the integrity that is so lacking by much of our own, with the BBC leading that pack of rats.

Update: www.dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=11941"Rioting continued into its seventh night Sunday in a number of Danish cities after more than a dozen Danish newspapers reprinted one of the controversial Prophet Mohamed cartoons." "set fire to schools, cars and rubbish bins and threw rocks at firefighters." It seems that these riots have been going on now for a whole week and nothing from the BBC! |

In their (the BBC) latest article on the subject there is no mention of any riot. Instead from what they do write, you would think it was the Muslims that were the victims. Hundreds of demonstrators marched through the streets of Copenhagen shouting "God is Great!" and "Freedom of Speech is a plague!" Some Danes looked rather surprised.
'Nobody listening'
Meda watched the demonstration with her three-year-old daughter from the windows of a cafe; at first she thought it rather scary - later she realised it was peaceful.
She is against the printing of the cartoons, saying "it was only meant to tease the Muslim people and I don't see any reason for that".
Outside the cafe, under the guidance of Hizb ut Tahrir, Danish Muslims were chanting "Khilafat" - supporting the party's demand for the creation of a caliphate to unite Muslims worldwide.
So far Muslims in Denmark have been talking about discrimination and the need for more respect. But the more they feel nobody is listening to their anger the more susceptible they will be to the message of radical political Islam. |
