Is the BBC really that dumb?

I was watching the 10 o'clock BBC news last night. Hold on, hold on, I'm not a traitor. You have to know your enemy. Anyway, the newsreader was talking about the terrorist suspects arrested yesterday. At the end of the piece she notes that while the suspects are of Asian decent they were all born right here in the UK. She ponders how could this be; how could we possibly have "home grown terrorist" (my words)?

I almost fell out of my chair. Hello. McFly (thumping her on the forehead). Have you not heard of "Hamza the Hook" or Fintry Mosque (I believe that is the correct spelling)? He is still preaching his hate of the west, including the UK, to all who will listen.

While on the subject of the arrests. The article went to great lengths to point out that this was a huge operation involving over 700 officers operating in many cities. The newsreader looked almost pained when she pointed out over and over again at how much local Muslim leaders were consulted during the raids. To reassure them this was not an attack on Muslims.

Flash. Here is a suggestion for you. How about having some prominent Muslim leaders go on the newshows, chat shows and the like and reasure us that they are not attacking us? How about renouncing al-Qaeda and Islamic fundamenatlist terrorist on TV, Radio and in the newspapers. I'll say it over and over, the silence is deafening!
