BBC Funds Islamic Terrorist Training
When they are forced to fund the unholy BBC, British taxpayers are paying for more than sophomoric leftist propaganda. The Beeb doesn't just spin for its Muslim terrorist allies; it even offers them training.
From The Times:
The BBC funded a paintballing trip for men later accused of Islamic terrorism and failed to pass on information about the 21/7 bombers to police, a court was told yesterday.
Mohammed Hamid, who is charged with overseeing a two-year radicalisation programme to prepare London-based Muslim youths for jihad, was described as a "cockney comic" by a BBC producer.
This BBC producer, Phil Rees, now works for al-Jazeera.
The BBC paid for Mr Hamid and fellow defendants Muhammad al-Figari and Mousa Brown to go on a paintballing trip at the Delta Force centre in Tonbridge, Kent, in February 2005. The men, accused of terrorism training, were filmed for a BBC programme called Don't Panic, I'm Islamic, screened in June 2005.
The BBC paid Mr Hamid, an Islamic preacher who denies recruiting and grooming the men behind the failed July 2005 attack, a £300 fee to take part in the programme, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
Two of the 21/7 bombers, Ramzi Mohammed and Hussein Osman, joined Hamid at the Tonbridge paintball center. As made clear by the Daily Mail, Hamid's paintball escapades were not fun and games, but explicitly intended as terrorist training. Muslim terrorist cells in the USA have also used paintball for this purpose.
Nasreen Suleaman, a researcher on the programme, told the court that Mr Hamid, 50, contacted her after the July 2005 attack and told her of his association with the bombers. But she said that she felt no obligation to contact the police with this information. Ms Suleaman said that she informed senior BBC managers but was not told to contact the police.
Prosecutor Duncan Penny wanted to know if Suleaman had at least told Hamid to go to the police:
Here was a man who told you that he knew those individuals who, as I understand it, were still at large for what on the face of it was the attempted bombings of the transport network a fortnight after it happened, and he was telling you he had some knowledge of them? There was a worldwide manhunt going on, wasn't there?
Suleaman responded by declaring "I don't think it's my obligation." Evidently her BBC bosses concur. But you could hardly expect the Beeb to side with civilization against Muslim terrorists.
If this kind of insanity had occurred during WWII, the fifth-column scum infesting the BBC would have been declared enemy collaborators and lined up in front of a machine gun — which is why we won WWII.

Be careful what you wish for, BBC (you appear to want an Islamofascist take-over of Great Britain) -- you might get it. In which case, wonderful human beings like Mohammed Hamid will be your rulers.
Don't know about putting the BBC'ers in front of a machine gun (life in prison sounds good to me), but I've got no problem at all with doing exactly that with Mr. Hamid and his compadres.

The short hair, long beard, no moustache combo is a clue that this guy just might be a jihadist - unless he's Amish. He's not Amish, right?

Wow, I'll bet the Brits are thrilled that this is what their yearly per-television-owned tax goes toward.
The BBC: Run by nitwits, funded by suckers.

ironic that the TV show was trying to dispell the notion that all muslims are terrorists
"Don't Panic, I'm Islamic"
-perhaps this is advice for when you see you're about to be blown up by a suicide bomber?

This is a classic example of how well educated people can be complete twits.
It makes you wonder about the education system in the West.

That's why I haven't paid my TV tax in years.

I had the licence inspector arrive just two days ago. I don't have a TV (don't want to pay the licence fee for something I'd use so little, basically) so I get a stream of abusive letters accusing me of having a TV and not paying, then every now and again an inspector arrives and is disappointed. The reason they can get away with this kind of stalinism is that 99% of people have TVs so have no idea what it's like when you don't.
But the BBC goes on, and on, suckling at the public purse because, sadly, just as many stuffy old conservatives support it as do lefties. It'll have to be slain soon- what will they license when we most TV is distributed over broadband? Will computers count as TVs? There have been rumblings that the BBC want a computer licence. Brrrrr.
I told the inspector I'd be around his house later to search for unlicensed guns.
He wasn't amused.

License inspector? You have to let the BBC search your house? For a TV?

Indeed we do. It's intolerable, but nobody cares.
