BBC Spooked by al-Qaeda

Now wait a minute. Dhimmitude at the BBC is certainly nothing new, but now they're afraid to depict Al-Qaeda in a bad light? But...I thought that the Vast Majority of Peaceful and Law-Abiding Muslims detested Al-Qaeda for hijacking their peaceful religion. Isn't this a tacit admission that that isn't true at all?

From the UK [1] Sun tabloid, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

BBC bosses are ready to AXE a £1million episode of hit drama Spooks in which an al-Qaeda terrorist is shot dead — in case it upsets Muslims. Filming the assassination plot for the MI5 drama took four weeks.

But actor Shaun Dingwall who plays a renegade Christian gunman, fears he could become a target for fundamentalists if the scene is aired.

In the episode, due to be shown later this year, a religious nut played by Shaun, 35, guns down the fanatic on the steps of London’s High Court.

But production sources admitted it could be canned. One said: “In the climate of Muslim fury over cartoons, Shaun isn’t sure about it all.”
