The BBC has told its journalists not to call Abu Qatada, the al-Qaeda preacher, an “extremist”. In order to avoid making a “value judgment”, the corporation’s managers have ruled that he can only be described as “radical”. Journalists were also cautioned against using images suggesting the preacher is overweight.

A Muslim activist group with links to the Muslim Brotherhood has asked the British government to restrict the way the British media reports about Muslims and Islam.
Appearing before the Leveson Inquiry on January 24, Muslim activist Inayat Bunglawala said the amount of negative stories about Muslims in Britain is “demonizing” Islam and fuelling a “false narrative.” He called on the government to do all it can to “ensure a fairer portrayal, a more balanced portrayal of the faith of Islam” in the British media. http://www.stonegateinstitute.org/2822/british-muslims-negative-reporting-islam

Abu Qatada ist zurück auf den Titelseiten britischer Zeitungen. Der Jordanier, einst “Bin Ladens rechte Hand in Europa” genannt, sitzt seit neun Jahren in Hochsicherheitsgefängnissen auf der Insel und kämpft gegen seine Abschiebung. Nun wird er in den kommenden Tagen auf freien Fuß gesetzt. Das können die Briten nicht fassen. http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,814057,00.html#ref=rss
