#1 Any UK viewers - have you heard mention of this on the TV/radio news? - I certainly haven't, (apart from The Observer article). WTF? Is it being supressed as other stories that paint Islamofascists in a bad light are? They should torch that bloody place, pref on a Friday morning. Off to search the Beeb website: Ho Ho Ho!!!

#2 Or is this down to the reliability of Russian security services? Will the story only break with concrete proof?

#3 Hmmmm. This is the Russian version (Moscow Times) of the Al Guardian story from 10/3...

Does it corroborate it, substantially? It is funny to see them relying heavily upon an Observer version. Press incest.

#4 The BBC? Howard you expect the BBC to cover any story that makes UK muslims look bad? Acording to the BBC only Tony Blair and George Bush are responsible for all the worlds problems. All muslims are victims. All persons living in the USA are stupid ape like planet rapers who drive SUV's and have daily gunfights out in front of our homes and lynch people who are not "white" especially muslims.

No UK muslim has ever been anywhere near terror. All confessions of terrorist ties are the result of torture and detention without charge. That is the BBC line on this all.

#5 Damn! I gotta get one of those SUV thingy's else I might not be correctly identified as an American. The rest of it is close enough for Gov't work.

#6 .com that sounds like "circular publishing." I thought only the US MSM did that.

#9 Christopher Hitchers was the one who said there are Muslim prayer rooms at the BBC. Men only of course. Would not be all BBC facilities but:

"I had, during my appointment at the BBC offices in London, already had to pass a door with a sign reading 'Male Prayer Room,' which means that the British taxpayer is already funding not just religious observance on public property but the sexual segregation of same,"

#10 Be assured that the British public are aware of the Beeb's current bias - the prayer room thing is scary. Will check with friends who work at White City. It's not just the Beeb who aren't covering this - all media outlets apart from (somewhat ironically) The Observer/ Guardian have gone mute over this which smacks of some level of control from 'higher-up' or a fundamental lack of credibility for the story. The Obsever article was mentioned in 'What the Papers Say' on BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House programme on Sunday but given little credence to the point where it was viewed as risible. Anyone else in the U.K. heard it on the news anywhere? - This could be a potentially devastating blow for UK Islamofascists and Blair's liberal attitude to the asylum/immigration question.

#11 Have sent comment similar to the above to the News Editor of the Beeb website for what good that'll do.

#12 What strikes me is how one mosque can spread its bad influence so far across the globe. Another argument for a campaign against the radical clerics, their mosques, and their madrassas?

#13 First I heard of it was here, Howard. I have to say I treat any news coming out of Russia as suspect.

#14 Seems like The Sun would have a field day with this story, no?

#16 The Sun? The Sun is to busy selling ring tones and naked lady wall paper to be covering the news. This large grain of salt I am carrying is getting too heavy. I am not fully buying this until we see some more info from other sources. I would like to believe it but there is nothing to support it right now.
