It is true that some Muslims have been converted because they realized that their religion is hateful. However we must not compromise our beliefs and give them preference. Their are spiritual rulers, evil forces at work that must be dealt with in the spiritual realm.

We need to pray about the media, they seem to rule the world.
I know a few muslims who are very nice people.

What we need to do is show them Love & grace because
God is love. Let us show Humility to Muslims. That way,
they could get interested in the Lord we serve.

I gave a few Muslim friends bibles at my old work place and
they were so eager to know more and kept asking questions
especially concerning the book of Genesis and who Jesus was.

Remember they are still searching for the truth. Invite them to
Church and after Church maybe over lunch tell them more about
our Lord Jesus. I have found that they get very interested and they
seem to be very passionate about 'religion'.

It sounds like the BBC wants to take away your freedoms to appease the devil's followers. They are free but you are not? What happens if they offend you? Are they censored? This is only one example of the islamization of the western world. They are not even afraid to admit they favor Islam and boldly say they want to fully integrate it. Someday we may be a minority under Islamic law, and then how much tolerance will there be. As much as there is in Islamic countries? Don't be fooled into following their idea of tolerance. We are to remain separate and not to conform to the world's standards. Stand up for what is right. Don't back down. Be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.

The fact that a particular religion should be treated different from any other highlights indifference & emphasises it as a 'minority', therefore adding to any sensitivity that may be felt.

Why be 'biased' in the first place?..If all religions were treated 'equally' & with 'respect' then half of these issues would be resolved. As a Christian I find it unacceptable having one rule for one religion & another for the next. That is why Christians don't recieve as much respect because of the way we are 'portrayed'.

At the end of the day TV is there for entertainment but it can also be informative & be used as a powerful tool to get rid of any prejudice. This is a country where 'freedom of speech' exists so all aspects of religion should be explored without fear or being biased or at the expense of disrespecting another religion.

This topic could be compared to racism..would the BBC be biased about showing offensive programmes about one race (the majority) to keep the 'minority' comfortable? I think not!! So why do they do it with religion??...

"Islam should be treated more sensitively than Christianity because Muslims are less integrated and more of a minority group", the head of the BBC said. Director General, Mark Thompson was speaking at an event organised by the religious think-tank, Theos.

He was asked whether it was correct that the BBC ‘let vicar gags pass but not imam gags’. He said: “My view is that there is a difference between the position of Christianity. What Christian identity feels like it is about to the broad population is a little bit different to people for whom their religion is also associated with an ethnic identity which has not been fully integrated. There’s no reason why any religion should be immune from discussion, but I don’t want to say that all religions are the same. To be a minority I think puts a slightly different outlook on it.”

In 2006 executives at the BBC admitted that they would consider broadcasting a scene where the Bible was thrown into a bin but they would never do the same with the Koran.

In the same year the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said that Christians took ‘more knocks’ in BBC programmes than other faiths. Dr Sentamu said: “They can do to us what they dare not do to the Muslims. We are fair game because they can get away with it.”

At the time of the coverage, Daily Mail columnist Steven Glover wrote: “The BBC represents a materialist, mechanistic consensus which has rejected God, and deludes itself that science is capable of providing a complete explanation of existence.”

In recent weeks the BBC has been at the centre of several controversies involving perceived bias against Christianity.

Its long-running quiz show, Mastermind, attacked the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as being unreliable accounts of the life of Jesus. Last month the best-selling children’s author and Christian, G P Taylor, said he was refused appearances on the BBC because it couldn’t be ‘seen to be promoting Jesus’.
