UK Channel 4 wages war against Islam
UK Channel 4 has
engaged in a direct war against Islam by airing a documentary which
distorts the reality of the glorious Faith.
Over 1000 complaints have been made to the channel and another 200
to the UK media regulator Ofcom over a documentary about the origins of
Islam.
By way of avoiding an investigation into the matter, an Ofcom
spokesman has said, "We will assess them and if we believe there has
been a possible breach of the broadcasting code, we would hold an
investigation, but no decision to that effect has been taken."
Islam: The Untold Story, presented by Tom Holland, claims
there is little written contemporary evidence about the origin of Islam
and the life of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
As another politically-motivated attempt by followers of the English
Defence League (EDL) to misrepresent the realities of Islam, the
production is a mere distortion of history presented by someone with no
background of religious knowledge.
Holland�s works mostly comprise vampire and adventure stories, and
his non-fiction books are nothing related to religious issues or Islam.
It is, therefore, not surprising that the 44-year-old writer became
the target of many criticisms by Muslim viewers who took to Twitter to
vent their fury at his inaccurate claims and imaginative lies about the
true divine religion.
The Islamic Education and Research Academy (IERA) also said Holland
was making "baseless assumptions" and engaging in "selective
scholarship".
"Holland has cherry picked from evidence as well as
scholarship to take an unsubstantiated and marginalized view on the
origins of Islam,� the IERA said.
"He saw what he wanted to see and rejected recklessly what he didn't
like. His exclusion of established academic positions and material
facts points to the only conclusion of justifying his own prejudices and
ignorance of Islamic tradition."
