MUSLIM CENSORSHIP
27 January 2005
The Muslim Council of Britain has attacked the television programme ‘24' for depicting Muslims as terrorists. The members of the council had been allowed a special preview of the first few episodes of the most recent series.
A spokesman said: ‘At a time when negative stereotypes of Muslims are on the increase we feel that Sky - as a major UK broadcaster - has a responsibility to challenge these insidious views, not help to reinforce them’.
This attack comes closely after the recent Sikh violence about a play, and after the recent murders in the Netherlands of those deemed to be hostile to Islam.
