Channel 4 has become embroiled in controversy after viewers claimed that a programme distorted the history of Islam.
The broadcaster and regulator Ofcom and received nearly 550 complaints after Islam: The Untold Story was screened last week.
The show’s presenter, Tom Holland, was subjected to a wave of criticism for his investigation into the origins of the religion and its early texts.

Made up religion? Demon inspired religion? Definitely no real link to Judism and Christianity other than a few comments and denigration.
"Thou shall not kill," unless they're unbelievers
"Thou shall not lie," unless it's to unbelievers
"Homosexuality is an abomination," but you will be given young boys as round and fine as pearls in heaven
“A made up religion”....you mean like Mormonism?
Only the Bible says what happens thousands of years before it happens with accuracy & specificity. This is the signature of God.
The Koran / Quran does not do this.
Not a spoof as far as I know.
Not a horse, he rode an ass.
A detailed discussion of the lack of evidence for the historical existence of the real Mohammed is available in the audio book at Prophet of Doom, http://prophetofdoom.net/Prophet_of_Doom_Audio.Islam

It is completely made-up, a rationale for robbery and looting on a grand scale.
Prior to Mad Mo the Middle East was Christian and Jewish with the Arabs confined to the deserts. Mo wielded together marauders and thieves from those deserts to destroy most of the People of the Book.

A war plan.
Truth and islamic tradition are like oil and water.
Does anybody have a link to watch the program? I tried the Channel 4 website but it said it was unavailable for viewing in the USA.
Truth gets them all the time, now I will get violent to make you believe it is a true religion. The moon god mohammed is upset.
” have a link to watch the program”
Nope. My guess is they yanked it. Can’t offend Moe-ham-head, ya know.
He can have a rifle or a shotgun.
Britain banned assault rifles (1988) and handguns (1997), not all guns.
Thanks for the ping. It doesn’t really matter if Mohammad existed; the Koran continues to motivate Muslims to pursue world domination.
