BBC frightened of criticising Islam, says archbishop
2006-11-14
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has accused the BBC of bias against Christianity and says the broadcaster fears a terrorist backlash if it is critical of Islam. The archbishop, the second most senior figure in the Church of England's hierarchy, said Christians took "more knocks" than other faiths at the hands of the BBC.
No, the BBC would do that?!
"They can do to us what they dare not do to the Muslims," he said. "We are fair game because they can get away with it. We don't go down there and say, 'We are going to bomb your place.' That is not in our nature."
I hear Paris is very warm this year, couldn't be the "religion of pieces..
The Ugandan-born archbishop nevertheless said Christians must be more forceful in promoting their beliefs. Blaming the "chattering classes" for undermining traditional Christian culture, he said: "They see themselves as holding the flag for Britain and that Britain is definitely secular and atheist. I want them to have their say but not to lord it over the rest of us." In an interview with the Daily Mail, he called for a return to family values and an end to the tyranny of materialism, especially at Christmas.

#10  Mick:

True Christians won't attack first. But, as one myself, I'd say, God help your soul if you attack first and push us too far. We don't bully others into our belief system, we try and explain it rationally, and let God take care of convincing others. But, with the Pope getting the Catholics in line, and then recently, many British Christians starting to vocally spout off against Islam, and now the Archbishop of York? I'd say bad days are ahead, for the RoP, if they continue to push us (and they will). Everywhere I look in muzzie-lands, I see backwards communities, ruled over by two-bit dictators, who use fear of the sword to institute Shari'a, but then have that whole on/off I'm superior/I'm a victim thingy goin' on. NO progress, NO technology and NO freedom. Like someone else here said more eloquently, there's gotta be a reason the only nations with nukes are Judeo-Christian at their roots.

I heard that! Let's see, they could call themselves the Militant Christian Fundimentalists, or something along those lines. Yeah, Militant Christianism. They accuse Christians of all kinds of horrible things, maybe it IS time to go Crusader on some folks.

#6  The BBC is fully on the islamo-fascist side, check out their content, it's almost all islam all the time. Naturally the muslim are alway victims of guess who, the Jooos and the US of A.

#5  True, but it's not retaliation if it's done in self-defense........

#4  Christianity and Judaism doesn't retaliate like Islam does.

#3  Archbishop, thank you for your comments. Very helpful. I doubt they are afraid. Take that back , they probably are wetting their pants. Anyway, they don't want to criticize their Moon bat buddies. Christians should attack and burn down every lasting item of BBC property. Quit worrying about repercussions. Just do it.
