Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

BBC’s Islamic propaganda: UK TV show features character converting to Islam “and its positive impact on his life”

Jul 16, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

My latest in the Geller Report:

Here is the latest item in the ongoing dumpster fire of Britain’s cultural and civilizational collapse: according to the MailOnline, the British TV drama EastEnders will feature a character who is in prison for killing his sister converting to Islam “to Islam to find peace after leaving prison.” The storyline is, of course, designed “to challenge prejudices about faith.” Apparently the only religion now worthy of the title of being a “faith” in Britain today is Islam.

“EastEnders bosses,” said the Mail, “have been working with Muslim youth workers ahead of a storyline which sees jailed Bobby Beale explore Islam.” They have been doing so because “they want to show the positive impact of religion in 21st-century society.” Their storyline, however, shows only the positive impact of Islam. There is nothing in EastEnders about the positive impact of Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, or any other religion.

“The Muslim Youth Helpline,” the Mail continues, “has been working with producers of the soap to offer advice on the character’s new story arc. EastEnders fans will see Bobby – the son of show stalwart Ian Beale begin to explore the Islamic faith, and its positive impact on his life. The troubled character will be shown receiving comfort and closure with the help of his new beliefs.”

EastEnders’ executive producer Jon Sen explained: “We are thrilled to be working with the Muslim Youth Helpline on a storyline which serves to challenge preconceptions and prejudices about the role of faith in young peoples’ lives. Bobby Beale’s story will show how a young boy uses religion to help find peace and give his life meaning, structure and purpose. We hope this storyline will demonstrate the positive impact of religion in modern society.”

Sen is not being entirely forthright. If the goal is to show the “positive impact of religion,” then why is only Islam the focus? Why don’t other characters convert to other religions? Zohra Khaku of the Muslim Youth Helpline was more honest about what is being done with EastEnders, saying: “In a time where young British Muslims see their faith overwhelmingly represented in a negative way, it is heartening to see Islam portrayed as a positive influence in Bobby’s life.”

Great. But would EastEnders ever feature a character converting to Islam in prison and becoming a jihadi — which is a real-life storyline of which there are numerous examples? Not on your life. Christianity has been the religion of the majority of Britons for a thousand years, and its monarch is the head of the Church of England. But would EastEnders, even after the Bobby Beale conversion story is played out, ever feature a character converting to Christianity and showing its positive impact on his life?

Of course not. Britain is a tired, mortally ill society, tired and ashamed of its Judeo-Christian heritage, which its political and media elites only dimly remember and understand anyway, and anxious to submit to its new Islamic overlords, as resistance requires too much risk-taking, too much effort, too much pride in oneself.

All that is gone now from Britain. All that is left are a people who don’t know who they are, and are ashamed of what they think they are, and that is a people ripe for conquest. The relentless glorification of Islam in the British media, and the routine cover-up and obfuscation by the same media of the crimes done in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, will inevitably have an effect. More and more British citizens will see their own heritage and culture as worthless or worse – a record of racism, imperialism, colonialism, and oppression – and welcome Islam, having been shamed into thinking that opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others constitutes “racism” and “bigotry.”

In that scenario, why would any Briton fight against Islamization when the calls for the imposition of ever more Sharia provisions begin to come? And they will come.

    Positive news, this is the first time I hear about anyone finding peace in Islam which is a religion of fear.

    Will be interesting to see the future development for this person. Will he go to the Middle East and do well killing (for peace) and will he get rich in the sex slave trade.

    If production costs in the Middle East prove too high they can just show him plowing down 60 tourists outside of Houses of Parliament and see him return to prison where he will find more peace studying to become Imam. Wonderful!

      Prompted by Hollywood, US & Western media, academia, politicians and governments are ALL pro-islamic jihadists, pro-LGBTQ degeneracy and Ant-Christ to the core! Below, Hollywood is rewarding Syrian Al-Qaeda “White Helmets” with Oscars!

      Godless, materialistic and morally bankrupt West is truly Evil and disgusting, BIG TIME!

        And that’s why christianblood wants us all conquered by Muslims, and says it we object to this then we are resisting the Truth of Christ…

    NPR, the American sister network of the BBC (affectionately called sometimes by NPR fellow broadcasters the Beeb), said, “Its mission is to teach Americans more about Islam after 911.”
    I say, “It should have taught Americans more about Islam before 911.”

      But they are teaching a whitewashed version of Islam, not the essential teachings of the ‘CONSENSUS’ of Islam which is carved in stone. 51% of Islam’s primary source texts is about POLITICS.

      The networks are not teaching the political IDEOLOGY of Islam. They are not teaching essential facts like the taqiyya doctrine, the taqlid doctrine, the misogyny doctrine, the Islamic apartheid doctrine, the Islamic extortion doctrine, the bigoted Islamic doctrine of hatred directed against non-Muslims or the JIHAD-WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVERS doctrine.

      A false and flattering impression of Islam is giving the public a false sense of security.

        Robert k wrote: I say, “It should have taught Americans more about Islam before 911.”

        Most of the popularized research about Islam was done AFTER 9/11 and IN RESPONSE to 9/11.

        Even so, the public finds this topic uninteresting. They refuse to inform themselves about political Islam. They only learn about political Islam when there is an honor killing or beheadings or when gays are hanged on cranes or tossed off of high buildings.

        The Western public is asleep. We are scolded if we try to awake them.

          My comment was tongue-in-cheek.
          I know that both NPR and the BBC are shills for Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood.
          One time CAIR even had on their website a picture of their representatives visiting an NPR studio – an indication of the Islamic conquest of American Public Radio. There was also a “private sting stint” were at meeting with “top NPR official” this submission was admitted as such.

          As for the BBC, one example offhand is that when al-Jazeera was formed many of the BBC’s staff went over to work for al-Jazeera – a smooth transition.

    Name two good things about Islam. Islam is a predator that lives off a host. When Muslims have no ‘host’ to live off of and no dhimmis to enslave and do all the work, the ideology of Islam always replicates a dysfunctional, impoverished, backward-looking, corrupt Sharia Berzerkistan.

    Robert Spencer says,

    “Sen is not being entirely forthright. If the goal is to show the “positive impact of religion,” then why is only Islam the focus? Why don’t other characters convert to other religions?”

    Of course Mr. Spencer knows the answer to the question…

    What you think would happen if a Muslim character in EastEnders converted to Christianity?

    That would likely set off a murderous firestorm similar – or worse – than the one following the Danish Mohammed cartoons.

      We should all love the country of our heritage,
      at least most of us do, but that is changing . Anarchist
      professors have made significant inroads in universities
      and pump into the minds of naïve students the “evils”
      of the country’s founding principles.

      Sadly, most news networks share the same shameful
      bent and proclaim national “sins” to the world—
      based, of course, on their editorial boards’ ideas of “sin.”

      Our politicians do a fine job of that, as well,
      all on their own.

      The United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom
      are seeing their traditional principles turned upside down, and
      their people—especially their youth—turned increasingly
      against their own heritage.

      We have been deeply divided by promoters of political
      correctness, many of whom despise the vital values that
      have anchored western societies for centuries.

        You are right. The pro-Islamic US regime has just sanctioned Myanmar leaders for defending themselves against ‘ARSA’ Islamic terrorists in Myanmar! Why is the US regime always on the side of jihadists???

          christianblood does not just criticize the West when it acts the dhimmi, as here.

          He has also condemned America for having defeated the Islamic State.

        These anarchist professors…we know how this went with Iran in the late 70s and 80s when the Khomeini killing machine revved up, destroyed their culture, movies, art, books, women forced to wear hijabs, gender segregation, etc.

        American professors had to eat crow and admit how wrong they were and also how the Shah was overly maligned.

        When the sh*t hits the fan and it directly affects these professors’ lives, which it will, it’s no longer academic group masturbation but the nasty reality. Professors are a dime a dozen and are not that important once they’ve been useful idiots. The only useful professors are the math, engineering and sciences including health sciences. Many have been paid off or the universities have accepted influence donations in the millions. It’s a shame the youth is so gullible and wasted tuition money. They better wake up to the unpleasant truth now and TALK ABOUT IT without being politically correct cowards because their future isn’t looking good what with Islamic infiltration, draconian ideas regarding the economic sham of climate change, free speech out the window, and so on. If they don’t get it by now they might as well get down on their knees and pray to Allah who hates them unless they convert to slaves of Allah.

        The US appears not to be far behind England. Their schools are so depraved they can’t even bring themselves to tick off the numerous great things the British did. They’ll be sorry but too late. Amazing that powers that be want a degraded world while thinking they can improve it, but the same cycle will happen.

        Islamic countries show that Islam is not a good thing to be dominant. Full of hypocrites too.

    As the moniker IanB posted
    in the earlier July 13th article on this
    “East Enders” show :
    ================

    A realistic storyline would see him attending a mosque after conversion
    then returning with an AK47 and shooting up the whole cast of East Enders
    in the Queen Vic pub.

      The biggest joke here is that the last time this part of London looked anything like it does in the show demographically must have been at least 30-40 years ago, and English people now need their passports to visit the area – and probably a helmet and stab vest as well. English girls (especially underage ones) are best advised to stay on the bus or the tube until they’re out of the area if they don’t want to end up in someone’s local-authority-subsidised islamic harem or as a qualified illegal practitioner of the ‘oldest profession’. . Tommy Robinson was banned from entering the area by the Met Police about 10 years ago – can’t think why! .

    At the same time the islamic state of Britain jailed Tommy Robinson due his true and haviour behaviour!

    …………………….

    And his original crime was supposed to be killing his sister for converting to Islam.

    Muslims kill other Muslims for converting to other faiths all the time–has there *ever* been a case of an Infidel doing this? Not that I have been able to find.

    This is nothing but projection. Just despicable.
