Islam, the BBC and Young Children
by Paul Weston

Although the BBC has a reputation for bias, dishonesty and the promotion of cretinous infantile ideologies designed to destroy civilised society, they appear to have surpassed themselves in their attitude to Christianity and Islam on their GCSE Bitesize revision website which is so fantastically biased, so hatefully anti-Christian and so perversely pro-Islamic that when one considers it is aimed at the unformed minds of young school children it must surely be tantamount to child abuse.

The BBC religious studies page, which can be found here, has various sub-divisions, but for the purpose of this article I am going to concentrate on Prejudice & Discrimination and again, for the sake of this essay I will ignore Judaism, Hinduism and Sikhism, and centre only on the attitudes of Christianity and Islam.

For those readers who do not wish to read this article in its entirety, then the four links in the paragraph above will take you to all the relevant pages, but be sure to do the Christian test as well as the Islam test at the end of each revision section. A word of caution however: if you suffer from high blood pressure or have a dicky ticker I would advise you to steer well clear.

Opening with Christianity, the first BBC page reverts to Marxist type as it explains that discrimination can only occur when prejudice is combined with power. As no minority race or religion in Britain is deemed to have power, so they can never discriminate against an indigenous British Christian. And so the scene is set for the evil BBC propaganda that follows their publishing of the UN Declaration of Human Rights:

Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Article 2: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
We are also told:

All forms of discrimination go against the first two articles.
Page 2 informs us:

Christianity teaches that everyone is equal in the eyes of God and so all forms of prejudice and discrimination are unacceptable and against God’s will.
Leaving aside the small matter that we discriminate every day on any number of things, such as a preference for good wine over Bulgarian wine or holidaying in Tuscany rather than Arkansas — both examples one would imagine are outside the remit of God’s will — there then comes the inevitable however:
- - - - - - - - -
However… there are occasions when Christians are guilty of prejudice and discrimination.

In South Africa, for many years the Dutch Reformed Church supported apartheid, the system which meant that black people were separated from white people and treated inferior [sic].

When Europeans were colonising other countries around the world they often killed the native people there and treated them as slaves.

John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, is from Uganda and he has done a lot to raise awareness and put a stop to racism in the Anglican Church, and in wider society.

Sexism is still a problem for the Christian Church — women are not always treated as equals in roles within the Church.
Page 3 informs us:

Many people think the Christian Church is sexist. It does not treat men and women equally.

So although Christianity teaches that everybody should be treated the same, this doesn’t always happen.
Page 4 is a revision page where you have to match up the end of a statement with the beginning. If completed correctly it reads as follows:

Discrimination = Prejudice + PowerThe Roman Catholic Church does not allow women to be PriestsArticle 1 states that all humans are born free and equalThere is neither Jew nor Greek slave nor freeThe Dutch Reformed Church supported apartheidPaul (St) said: women should be silent in ChurchesYou shall love your neighbour as yourselfNative people were treated as slaves
If you get all the above correct on their interactive site, a little message pops up stating:

Congratulations, you remembered all the facts about Christian prejudice and descrimination. [Spelling mistake courtesy of BBC educationalists.]
The test bite concludes this section on Christianity. You are presented with an interactive statement to which you have to answer true or false. It mimics most of page 4 so I will draw attention to only 2 out of the 10:

Christians believe most people are equal in the eyes of God.
If you answer TRUE to this, then you are admitting that Christians do not believe all people are equal in the eyes of God, which means Christians discriminate, which means Christians simply by existing as Christians are in contravention of article 1 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, so artfully inserted by the BBC propagandists on their opening page.

If you answer FALSE, as most unwitting 16-year-old schoolchildren will, having been repeatedly bludgeoned around the head with instances of Christian sexism and racism, then the BBC propagandists’ job is done. As it happens, FALSE is the correct answer, because Christians believe everyone is equal, as opposed to most people are equal. Very clever. One wonders what regimes recent BBC employees once worked in.

The second statement reads:

John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York is trying to reduce racism in the Anglican Church.
Another clever question, to which the correct answer is TRUE. Notice there is no argument as to whether there really is racism in the Anglican Church, it is just presented as fact, and provides the BBC with the opportunity to subliminally brainwash whilst promoting the only Christian they admire, based solely on the fact that he is an African, an enormous positive that far outweighs the inconvenient fact that he is far more hard line than the liberal rank and file excuses for the British Clergy epitomised by the Archdruid, Rowan Williams.

Islam, as I am sure you have probably guessed, is treated in an altogether different way.

Page 1 is identical to page 1 for Christianity, detailing the meaning of discrimination and quoting the Human Rights act.

Page 2 informs us:

The Qur’an (the divine book revealed to the Prophet Muhammad) teaches that everyone was created by Allah and that everyone is equal.

Therefore there is no reason to treat people of different races differently. The Prophet Muhammad showed how important this teaching was in his last sermon, when he said…

…All mankind is descended from Adam and Eve, an Arab is not better than a non-Arab and a non-Arab is not better than an Arab, a white person is not better than a black person, nor is a black person better than a white person except by piety and good actions. Learn that every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim and that Muslims form one brotherhood.
Page 3 informs us of Islam’s attitude to women:

Islam also teaches that men and women are equal in the sight of Allah. They are individually accountable for their actions, and will be judged equally by Allah.

However, although men and women are equal, they are not the same. They have different purposes. It is part of Allah’s design and purpose for men and women to have different physical characteristics; likewise it is the duty of a man to provide for the financial needs of his family, and for the woman to look after the home and family.

Although the rights of women are different to those of men, they do have the right to choose whom they marry, to divorce, to study, to own property, to conduct business and to take part in politics.

The Prophet Muhammad stressed the importance of women and the respect that should be shown to them when he said — paradise lies at the feet of your mother.
Page 4 is a revision page where you have to match up the end of a statement with the beginning. If completed correctly it reads as follows:

Discrimination = Prejudice + PowerThe Qur’an teaches that everyone is equalArticle 1 states that all humans are born free and equalWomen have the right to take part in politicsMen and women will be judged equallyAll mankind is descended from Adam and EveParadise lies at the feet of your motherSometimes men have the final word
If you get all the above correct on their interactive site, a little message pops up stating:

Congratulations. You have understood all the arguments about Islamic prejudice and discrimination.
Notice how the BBC uses the word “facts” in relation to Christian prejudice and discrimination, but replaced it with “arguments” with regard to Islam.

The test bite concludes the section. There is nothing surprising in it; just a continuation of the BBC’s overt propaganda suggesting Islam is divine, pure, non-racist and non-sexist.

There is a different section on Christian and Islamic attitudes to fighting and warfare. It is worth browsing in its entirety but the general thrust of the propaganda is that Christians and Jews are warlike and Islam is a religion of peace.

That the BBC should peddle such overt and dishonest propaganda is obscene in itself, but to whitewash Islam with its arranged marriages, honour killings, global violent jihad etc whilst painting Christianity as a religion of racism, sexism, colonialism, enslavement and murder leaves me struggling for a word stronger than “obscene.” And to peddle it to innocent school children? Words fail me.

The BBC hate the Britain our fathers and grandfathers fought and died for. They realised many years ago they needed to eradicate Christianity if they were to destroy Britain from within. And they have virtually done so.

The Rt Rev Paul Richardson penned a recent article in which he argued that Christian Britain was dead, destroyed by multiculturalism and heading for complete extinction within 30 years. He did not mention the part the BBC has paid on their long ideological march to economic, social and moral ruin, but as you can see, they have certainly played their part. Perhaps the BBC felt it was only possible to select a Muslim as the head honcho of its religious affairs department now Christianity is powerless in its death throes.

I suppose there must come a day of reckoning with the genuinely evil apparatchiks of the BBC, and when that day comes I will gladly watch the bastards swing from the lamp posts such is the rage they ignite in the soul of a pacifist man.
how can any brits stand to read this? how can people still claim their elites are not trying to undermine the very foundation of your culture?

I saw a documentary on the BBC a few months ago, called "Celebrity Lives - Sharia Style". It was about divorces of famous people (e.g. Sir Paul and Heather Mills) and how these divorces would have played out differently (i.e. better and fairer) under sharia law.

Devoid of debate or critical notes, it was no more than a piece of propaganda for the introduction of sharia. It was hard to believe this was aired on a European TV station.
 
Wow. And people say that U.S. news is biased.

That made Fox News and MSNBC look credible.
 
i think the more important question is who is going to see this? seriously nobody takes R.E. as a GCSE subject, and no one takes it seriously.

To be honest i reckon its partly fear. who is to say all the recent tension between the west and certain eastern groups who pretend to fight for islam hasnt had its effect on us at a subconsious level? perhaps they are afraid to say anything critical of islam. The one thing the bbc fears is being acused of being politically incorrect. so anything anti islam is something they will avoid. But whats the church of england going to do, hold a fete?

"You all"? Ah be careful with sweeping terms.
 
There is a very good reason behind this, it's pretty simple:

Christians in Britain don't bomb places, burn flags and start riots when they're made to look bad. Muslims, having amongst them the chavs of Britain's religious communities, do all of the above if anyone even hints about Islam being anything but perfect.

I assure you, if our Christian communities counted bomb makers, rioters and flag burners amongst their number, the BBC would have worded their Christian section with equal caution.

Not that I dislike Islam, incase anyone jumps on it, my closest friend is Muslim (though he, like me, despises organised religion and worship for him is strictly a personal affair). The Muslim communities in this country, and most of Europe too, just have the misfortune of having violent, narrowminded and immature members within them.

The...irony... the hypocrisy.... it's burning my eyes.

BBC best watch their back here in America then. We have more then our fair share of crazies in all faiths.

But isn't religion in the U.K. declining?

The BBC doesn't run in America, and does America have a Christian terrorist problem? I know the US has a fair number of absolutely insane Christians but I didn't think you had violent ones? I suppose the KKK could loosely count but you know what I mean.

Religion in the UK as a whole is in decline I think, but Islam really isn't. They make up a tiny minority but more immigrants are coming and they tend to cling to their religion far more than an average Brit. For some, they cling to it so much anything even hinting against it is grounds for violence.

Those guys that bomb abortion clincs. More or less all of them are Christians. And the 1996 Summer Olympics bombing in Atlanta.

Yeah we got every psycho from Son of Sam to the guy who bombed Oklahoma City.

theres a lot more than that, i find the match the phrases part the most striking. the christians have two or three sections that says they subjicate women while islam has seperate but equal (is that Jim Crow over there?), like its good and there trying to defend islam. also the descriptions of how moderate islam is (LOL) while it only talks about bad things for christians. come on Rome dont be niave.

I learn something new every day! I never knew the US had any issues with violent Christian groups.

I also never knew the BBC ran a BBC America, I thought the world outside the UK and our overseas territories was served by the BBC World channel.

Don't be ridiculous. If you've ever been in a GCSE religious studies class you'll find that we study all religions equally. Why isn't the writer of the article complaining about how the BBC missed out Judaism's faults on women or Hinduism's treatment of women? They flavoured down all the religions, not just Islam. But he makes no mention of that, as is evident from his first paragraph he's an Islamophobe with an agenda.

In non-religious schools indeed. You should see the religious ones though, I went to a Christian school and we studied Christianity right up until the Holy War section, where we casually studied Jihad rather than Crusade. :laughter: Our teacher had an awkward time trying to answer when I asked why this was the case...

watering down religions isnt the issue at hand, the way they tear apart christianity and refuse to do the same to islam is.
 
They dont fault islam for anything! they call their treatment of women as "seperate but equal", Jim Crows own words!
 
What an absurd article. Be a bigot in terms of your own country's policies. This nutter just runs a hate blog, where in his latest bit of dribble he claims that there are 20 million people in Britain of "muslim descent". That's a third of the actual population of the United Kingdom. What an idiot.

usual conspiracy rubbish. No mention of Richard Dawkins and other professional atheists undermining the Christian faith, wonder why?

I like the phrase "for the sake of this essay I will ignore Judaism, Hinduism and Sikhism" is that because by including these, he has no argument?

Bollocks just sat the Judaism test. it says this.

"Congratulations. You have understood all the arguments about Sikh prejudice and discrimination."

So they used the word arguments again and got the religion wrong, yet oinly Islam is singled out. funny that.

Done the Hindu test. It says "Congratulations. You have understood all the arguments about Hindu prejudice and discrimination". I can see why the OP didn't check and mention these.

Tell us again why Islam was singled out here?




This thread leaves a nasty taste in the mouth, a bit like this really.

why was christianity singeled out by the word "facts"? also i think the word is the weakest part of his argument, the decriptions of each religion and then the interactive phrase pairings are more striking.

Well, why was Islam singled out, deliberately so it seems, when the concluding parts of the other religions are identical? Pure neo-con crap. A minimal amount of research has exposed this exercise as dishonest. I am surprised that you didn't check this before posting.
