Shame it's an incorrect story though.
Perhaps checking the BBC site first might have helped.

This is rubbish as it will cause more upset if they don't show it. I'm a muslim and I don't sympathise with terrorists and neither do many. How many times do WE have to say it? The cartoons were a different matter as that was about the prophet not a terrorist. Navaz RaufWell, if true, I applaud Mr. Rauf for not sympathizing with terrorists. But too few Muslims say it, and not loudly or often enough.

Shame it's an incorrect story though. Thanks. This is the second thread I've been on today that purposely had the headline spun.....thank God for the Internet.

Muslims have no reason to be offended. Al Qaeda terrorists aren't "real" muslims. That is why they don't denounce the terrorism. Or so I've been told.

It is far, far better for the MSM to put stories of how US Soldiers abuse terrorists at Al Ghraib Prison - in an effort to redirect anger at American soldiers, than to actually publish anything at all that may anger even the angriest of Muslims. This way, the presstitutes can feel safe and secure in their cowardly surrender.
Case in point: Just this week, FT (The Financial Times) put a phtotograph of an abused Iraqi prisoner on the FRONT PAGE - again!
In March 2000, CNN showed a picture of the Virgin Mary made out of dung:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/STYLE/arts/03/27/museum.flap/index.htmlRight there on CNNs website you have a picture of "The Holy Virgin Mary" by British artist Chris Ofili. He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that work. This garbage posing as art was deemed offensive to Christians. CNN had no qualms about showing it and offending Christians. It has remained on their web site until today. Nearly five years now.
In fact, if you click on the link above, you will see this work - still proudly displayed on CNNs website.
Now the violent Muslims are rampaging and burning things - again - about a few cartoons, and CNN says, CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons out of respect for Islam.

Follow this link and read the last line in the article.
Hypocrisy?
Do not trust the MSM.

Once the Western press is properly cowed and pictures of pigs are no longer permitted on government property and pork is not served in government eateries (schools included) we are going to find out that an infidel being an infidel is offensive to sensitive Saracens.Maybe they don't have to conquer by sword or by birthrate.

Haven't seen Bauer snuff any muzzies this season. Bad guys are too generic. They do what muzzies do, but it is never even implied that's what they are, even though, no other group seems to fit the profile of these "generic" terrorists. something about being ticked off at Russia, suicidal, but no indication as to their identity, yet.
If it turns out at some point that they are identified as some right wing group .... I tune out.

Unfortunately it looks like MI5 is actually off the air in the US. A&E was buying it season by season, they haven't announced a run date for season four yet or added it to their long term show schedules, and they removed references to it from their website. If we in the US want to see the show, it looks like we'll have to wait for the DVD's.
Personally I thought the show went downhill a bit after Series 2 anyway. It started out great, but by the end of Season 3 was getting a bit touchy feely. When all of the original actors started bailing, it was probably a sign that something was going very wrong with the show.
I'd probably watch seasons 4 and 5 if they aired in the US, but I'm not going to shell out for the DVD's. It IS far better written than 24 and gives a much more realistic view of what the life of a modern spy and counter-terrorist agent are like. It's fascinating stuff, even if the story was getting a bit stale by the end of that last US season.
