“Many of you may have seen last night’s ‘Immigration is a time bomb’ programme by Rod Liddle…. Islam is caricatured and presented as a homophobic, intolerant faith, that inspires murders of the ‘defenders of freedom of speech’, such as Theo Van Gogh. His death is attributed to the fact that Holland paid the price for ‘allowing immigrants to do what the hell they wanted’. This was accompanied by pictures of Muslim women in hijab, shopping in a market place. This was one of the worse pieces of racist, populist programming that have been broadcast on this issue. Please register a strong complaint to Channel 4.”
