Religious extremism is a growing problem that we should all be concerned about. There are fanatics who follow all manner of religions. Cigarette packets carry explicit but accurate health warnings; religious broadcasts should carry something similar.

Des, Edinburgh,

I will be voting for Alan Craig - surprisingly they only seem to show Paddick, Ken and the clown. What about the other candidates, surely this is unfair advertisment and BBC should know better!

Kim, London, UK

Any article about the BBC is an excuse for every loon to complain about the organisation.

Note, no one is complaining about ITV demanding even further changes to the broadcast.

Hypocrisy

Martin Caldwell, London,

The BBC (as yet) haven't mentioned this anywhere on their own online politics news page. So much for public service. The corporation- paid for by the licence payer- could be dragged before the high-court- and its news team are as quiet as mosque-mice.

Rich, Birmingham, ENgland

And this is partly why I refuse point blank to pay the TV licence.
If any of you other posters had any guts you'd refuse to pay too.

Phill , The Wirral, England

Pot....Kettle.... Black

as for 'Christian Choice' - there's an oxymoronic concept if ever there was one.

Stuart Hartill, Ramsey, Isle of Man,

Maybe re-design it as to allow time share with a christain church aswell how democratic that would be ...lol

Tony Winchester, Essex, Britain

Intolerant, undemocratic, oppressive, single-minded, domineering, dismissive of British culture, hostile to Christians, established many years ago and apparently impossible to get rid of.

And that's just the BBC.

Roger, Watford , UK

The same BBC who screened Jerry Springer the opera despite:
- 45,000+ people contacted the BBC about the show, mainly to complain about swearing and religious themes.
- contained a total of 8,000 obscenities
- 100's of Christian protesters rallied outside BBC buildings before/during the broadcast

David Pitan, Surrey, UK

Phill, dont be histronic, you're blackmailed into nothing. You dont have to watch TV now do you?

Everyone is mentioning PC liberal elites, and all mention the BBC, but a private business went even further than the BBC. The two biggest terrestrial stations did this, perhaps they had reason.

Matt, Hereford, UK

Great. Another opportunity for right wingers to crawl out and attack the BBC. What would you have said if the BBC had been sued and paid out licence payers' money in legal costs? The real story is whether or not this fundamentalist group are guilty as charged. If so, stop the mosque now.

Iain, Stirling,

The need for a good mosque in London where Islam is taught and preached properly is there. The need for the likes of TJ or other rather confused interpretations of Islam to administer this mosque is not.

Farrukh, Woking, UK

Political correctness goes too far. How would they react if it had been a Muslim based political party reacting to a Church? It's time we stood up for our religious rights too!

Ron, Milton Keynes, Bucks

Looks like you already have sharia rule. The debate now must be, how are you going to get rid of it?

"Incompatible with Democracy, uncivilised, harbouring absolute hatred of Jews, not very fond of Christians either..." - Jack

But despite all that the BBC still does such wonderful wildlife documentaries.

Chris, Newcastle,

Good GOD, I thought this was a CHRISTIAN founded country- did we change the format when I was not looking? Are we and the BBC under Islamic Law????? Secularism I can accept as we all have a right to our views and free speech if not harming others. Recent law about not inciting hatred etc?

Madmar, Bournemouth, U.K.

As Trevor Phillips intimates the repression of fair discussion and comment is more harmful than any Islamic sect
BBC and ITV cowardice will be reviewed in the High Court and we will know how far the Englishman's birthright of freedom of speech has been eroded or curtailed.Do they want BNP to prosper

robert everitt, wolverhampton,

Whichever "god" Faisal Iqbal believes in, he is not the Triune God, Father Son and Holy Spirit revealed in the printed words of the Bible, and supremely revealed in the living, loving Word of God, Jesus Christ.

Allah whoever he is, is not the Triune God of the Bible, just who is he?

Paul, Leeds, England

Matt, Hereford, UK

ITV is a private company
The BBC on the other hand is a publicly owned company you are blackmailed into funding.
Thats why the comments against the BBC

Phill , The Wirral, England

The BBC's action is outrageous, but it should be remembered that the group acting for Craig are hardly stalwart defenders of free speech. When it comes to "blasphemy" against their god, they are quick to use legal means to try to shut people up. I'd be more sympathetic if they weren't hypocrites.

David McKeegan, Coventry, UK

Maybe we should stop paying for the BBC from the public purse... the liberal PC elite which runs the organisation is clearly out of touch with the majority of those who pay their wages.

Andrew Brown, derby, UK

So the BBC is just a propaganda organisation pushing its own policies and attitudes! Amazing news, I'm shocked. Never would have guessed it.

John Ledbury, Kings Lynn, England

Ian Payne, I think that the BBC is scared of the Muslims, not the Christians.

David Leslie, Perth, Scotland

Every single comment about the BBC, and not one about ITV. Why is that I wonder?

Matt, Hereford, UK

I think we are smelling more than a whiff of ideological filtering amongst the editors at the BBC. The question is - where is it coming from? Is this institutional?

Bill, Yeovil, UK

I think the days of trusting the bbc to speak the truth in an unbiased fashion are long gone. I object to being compelled to pay an annual fee to what is now an overtly politically driven organisation

james, burnley,

Incompatible with Democracy, uncivilised, harbouring absolute hatred of Jews, not very fond of Christians either, women are chattels never mind less than second class citizens. Its about time that we started to say so! If you want to be a member of a civilised, tolerant democracy, change your ways!

Jack, Glasgow, Scotland

Imagine the PC spin this now fetid, Britain hating, pro-Islamist BBC would have given to any descriptions of Hitler and the Nazis during WW2.

Dave B, Stoke, uk

BBC is scared to death of Christians and what they believe in.

Ian Payne, WALSALL,

This is outrageous. The BBC always claiming free speech for itself censors those with whose views it disagrees. This has happened before with the censoring of anti-abortion pictures. The left is always approved. There must be an end to the BBC licence which is now a licence to censor others.

George, Bolton, England

It is this same self appointed elite who have allowed the proliferation of hatred by denying honest and open debate under the banner of avoiding offence.

Orwell, London,

Its about time we stood up against these radical Mohammedans. To call them "Muslims" is an insult to the name.- "men of peace" - 9/11, etc, etc etc, they are NOT. Let us not allow the building of this outrage against our traditions, laws and culture and send these traitors to jail or back home.

Phocas, Surbiton, England

The BBC is a organisation of frightened sheep. Don't pretend they are using politcal correctness as anything more than a shield against becoming cartoon martyrs. A weakness is being exploited by radical Muslims in our media however intelligent privatisation should cure that!

kevin, Lincoln, UK

These people within the BBC, AA, New York, are the same ones who caused a woman who works for the BBC to say that she is a Conservative but would never dare admit it for fear of prejudicing her career.

John, London, UK

Free speech - unless a lawyer says different ! Most of whom are nothing more than high earning spongers off the public purse. The time will come when the legal profession will see itself the way the public see it ,.

wills, soton, uk

Who are these faceless arbiters of public sensibilities within the BBC? Why is their default position always that of the extreme left? Why are these people never publicly identified?

AA, New York,

Whats the point in saying it as it really is.
It won't get printed.

Mike Jones, Farnborough, Hampshire
