		<description>THE MALESKI CONVENTION.

David Henshaw&#039;s (flawed/skewed) production undercover mosque; released, coincidentally, on the first day of Ramadan: produced vehement heat but dim light. Moslems should refrain from bellyaching tirades against the Islamophobic media-- Take the jew on! Ask the Saudi government to fund Hardcash to scrutinise media ownership in this country. They could start with jew Michael Winogradsky (Grade) boss of Channel 4, or his predecessor kosher Jeremy Issacs. Hardcash can interview the senior gentile production staff--IF THEY CAN FIND ANY! Give the Star of David programme a realistic name, &#039;The Jewbiquitous Media&#039; or whatever; release it on the first day of Yom Kippur. Then the goyim will see, if the jew really believes in free speech. The Maleski convention would make it compulsory for EVERY jewish media broadcaster to wear a Star of David identity badge, and to inform the goyim of who they really are!

		<description>In the UK there is over 10 women raped a night in almost every section of the Thames Valley area - and these are the reported rapes, who knows about those happening unreported.  Advertisements, music and movies and fashion is doing nothing short of belittling the female to just her body and outer apperance, degrading her to a sex object - used to sell products, cars and make money.  Women are &quot;equal&quot; hey, at what cost... soon the difference between man and woman may be unnoticeable in the West, such is the push for this so called equality.  Perhaps we should wait for the arrival of mixed public bathrooms and WCs because &quot;hey men and woman are bloody equal&quot;.

What the West should be commended for is finally bringing a trace of fairness to the female gender following centuries of complete and utter degradation - Islam was giving women rights, protection, honour and ability to vote 1,400+ years ago.  The West started off on a good note but without any Divine guidence to refer matters to what has resulted here is extremity and now women have become public property and through popular media/entertainment/media they are made to think that this is what they should want and like.

Islam has a lot to teach the West - but naturally those who hate Islam are concentrating on projecting an image so &quot;evil&quot; that the common folks find it difficult to learn about Islam impartially.  Exactly what this documentary sought out to do - more damage against Islam.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;if the point is that such material should not be taught in mosques, or presumably other religious institutions, that is an argument against freedom of religion and freedom of speech.&lt;/i&gt;

Oh yes, that freedom of religion and freedom of speech that Islam values so highly. Ask any apostate, or any Christian living in a Muslim country.

Stuff about the punishments and the draconian, backward laws about women&#039;s travel may not shock Muslims - of course it is mainstream Islamic teaching. But they do shock - and should - non-Muslims - who grew up in a country where women are equal before the law.

		<description>Are you implying that the two hijabless Saudi women are less credible and knowledgeable to speak of Islam?

		<description>So, what the programme revealed is not offensive to muslims but standard muslim doctrine.
As you say, it&#039;s still dislikeable to non-muslims though.

I didn&#039;t know that killing real or alleged apostates, adulterers, witches or homosexuals- parts of the  practice of Shari&#039;ah law as found in Saudi Arabia- discouraged crimes with knives; indeed, given the prominence of Somalis and Bangladeshis in gang culture in London the two may be correlated. In fact, in some muslim countries- such as Saudi Arabia- it looks rather as though the gangs with knoves are in charge.

Undercove Mosque: The Return refers several times to Colin Cook, a teacher (only after being sacked for misconduct from the King Fahd school in Acton) claimed that the books the children are taught from are racist, and that the school itself is promoting Wahhabism. This was claimed in the papers filed with an employment tribunal by Mr. Cook who earned £35,000 a year at the Academy.

It is of course worth wondering why Mr Cook didn’t feel the need to raise this issue before he was sacked. Mr. Cook, 57, who taught English at the school for 19 years until he was dismissed in December 2006, claimed £100,000 compensation for unfair dismissal.

Similarly, viewers would have been better served if they were told which political spectrum Mr. Ghayasuddin Siddiqi and Mr. Musa Admani come from to make clear if these two have reasons to tread on Salafis’ corns. This would have proved helpful to establish why these two have cultivated long-term difference with other ‘brands’ competing for support and following within the contested constituency of Muslims in Britain.

Perhaps you will not find any Irish channel asking some Orange Order ideologues to go undercover looking in to the credentials of a Catholic church.

But things are different for viewers in England, where Hardcash Productions engages some disgruntled elements to settle scores with their ideological opponents and competitors on primetime over Channel 4.
