Quote: They were fined by `OFCOM` after an Islamic Scholar claimed Muslims had `a Duty to Kill` anyone who insulted the Prophet Muhammad in a live lecture on DM Digital programme. Ofcom regulator said the programme was likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime (something of an understatement). Unquote:
All in the name of the `Peaceful Religion` I presume, Isn't the `Hypocritical Religion` more appropriate.
No doubt the EDL comments will come pouring in, unpleasant lot that they are, there has been No reports of them being responsible for any UK murders. Justified or Otherwise..:sleep::sleep:

Bunch of loonies, frankly.
I would have closed it down
'Muslim radio station fined for saying gay people should be tortured'

It may not speak for them but it definitely speaks to them
'It is available on Sky in the UK and via other satellite platforms across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia'.
Seems a bit overkill to close down a channel because of something someone said on it. God, if that were the case, most channels would have been closed down a long time ago!
My thoughts exactly.
What shall we have a
Debate on why this has been allowed to happen and why no viewers complained
or
How much we hate the EDL?
I really hate the EDL
Most Muslims would support the law being enforced I have no doubt.
It isn't a case of what muslims think but what is being said on broadcast tv.
Do you have any comments on that?
Who said they did; why not address the issue being discussed?
The chap is inciting murder that is against the law. Do you think the law should be applied in this case?
I would have prosecuted.
I thought hate crimes were illegal.
Depends on the context but I'd say it was a fair enough candidate.

Yet again, reading further into the story reveals some useful information.
Sounds like the imam in question was at fault. The channel admit it was wrong and I think most Muslims (and most people) would agree that it was wrong. I think it was wrong too, to make it clear. The imam won't be invited back. Those who produced the show were sacked.
I know it won't be enough for some of you hardline anti-Muslims (nothing ever will be - I learned that a long time ago) but I think this was a reasonable response by the channel and I think most of us will agree.
Ultimately it's not about stopping them from having a podium to spout their evil, it's about removing the reason for fundamentalism to thrive in Islam.
In what context is incitement to murder OK then?
"It wasn't us, it was just the few naughty ones!"
"The EDL are racist scum I'd let them all rot in a hole"
"Scumbag police officer - he wants shooting like he did to the dog"
This seems the default accusation whenever a Muslim does something
"One Muslim does something naughty they must represent all of them"
"And yet it must be a peaceful religion because my Muslim mate rescues puppies."
Works both ways!
Islam stands as a vile religion on its own merits - it doesn't need idiot fundamentalists to back that up.
