The BBC have found themselves once again at the centre of controversy. This time, however it's not for misleading the masses, but rather, for supposedly impressing upon the masses. Firstly, they've been
cleared for airing Jerry Springer The Opera on television, and secondly, they've been
forced to apologise for 'insulting Islam' on the radio. this is all very interesting because it highlights a point that needs contention. One wonders what would have happened had the Jerry Springer Opera centered around Mohammed rather than Jesus, and the radio broadcaster called a dog Jesus rather than Mohammed. Is this showing respect for religion or is it showing fear of Islam? Islamophobia? Ask yourself that question.
