| #7 None of these Imams have ever gotten into trouble for praying too loudly or singing too loudly in the choir. None of these Imams have ever gotten callouses on their knees from spending too long at prayer. |

| #5 After investigating 56 hours of footage, West Midlands Police said that it had been advised by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute the broadcaster for stirring up racial hatred, but that selective editing had helped to create an impression of Muslim hatred. There's nothing to "create". Muslim hatred for all things non-Islamic is well documented and those who argue otherwise are They had 56 hours of footage and they boiled it down to a one and a half hour documentary? They should have made it into a series so they could have shown the entire 56 hours with no editing. You're ahead of the pack, Ebbang Uluque6305. Kevin Sutcliffe needs to provide all 56 hours of footage in order to incontrovertibly refute the accusation of selective editing. I have ZERO doubt that all of the portrayals are in context and that their words represent the directly intended meaning of those who uttered them. |

| #3 I can't believe it's the BBC that did this. Must be some renegade faction or something. And yeah, the PC police are going to come down hard on them. It is enough that the program draws the wrong conclusions. It is worse that it uses the Muslims' own words. |

| #2 Follow the money. When Riyadh whispers, The City jumps. And if that means using the State's police powers to crush free speech, well, infidel, find someplace else to live. |

| #1 So now they're pissed off at themselves for being shown saying what they said? Go make Rage Boy faces in the mirror. You'll feel better. |
