“His comments came after the BBC tried to stop Lord Singh from broadcasting an item commemorating an executed Sikh guru ‘because it might offend Muslims’. The Sikh guru cited had opposed the forced conversion of Hindus to Islam under the Mughal emperors of India in the 17th century. However, the script, which was broadcast in November last year, had contained no criticism of Islam.”
Yet that forced conversion is a fact. You can read the bloody history of the Mughal emperors in India in The History of Jihad. The BBC is at war with the truth, desperate to appease Britain’s Muslim population by dissembling as energetically as they possibly can. Yet ultimately all their efforts will come to naught: their new overlords will subjugate them anyway.
“Sikh peer accuses BBC of ‘prejudice’ as he quits Radio 4 show after 35 years,” by Dale Miller, Scotsman, October 4, 2019:
A prominent British Sikh has quit his role with the BBC after 35 years in protest after the public broadcaster said some of his talks “might offend Muslims”.
Known by listeners as Indarjit Singh, the journalist has been accused the corporation of “prejudice and intolerance”, according to The Times.
His comments came after the BBC tried to stop Lord Singh from broadcasting an item commemorating an executed Sikh guru “because it might offend Muslims”.
The Sikh guru cited had opposed the forced conversion of Hindus to Islam under the Mughal emperors of India in the 17th century.
However, the script, which was broadcast in November last year, had contained no criticism of Islam.
Lord Singh told The Times: “It was like saying to a Christian that he or she should not talk about Easter for fear of giving offence to the Jews.”
The BBC is understood to have allowed Lord Singh to read the script only after he threatened to leave the Radio 4 slot rather than have his religion’s teachings “insulted in this way”.
The 87-year-old crossbench peer subsequently filed a complaint about the way he had been treated, claiming it was not the first time he had been prevented by the BBC from addressing subjects important to the Sikh faith….
David Allen says
Really am sick of how we have to tiptoe around hair trigger Muslim sensibilities.
Trick_or_Treat says
Aren’t we getting just heart sick of this shit?! We’ve just got to put an end to every one of these politically correct crapsters one day soon.
jim hane says
We need to always speak the truth about Islam and it’s Founder. Tough luck if they are offended.
Muslims must apologize for all the atrocities and sexual perversions of their Prophet Muhammad if they really want religious harmony.
We cannot start the reconciliation process without their apology.
Instead, they come up with all sorts of excuses for their Prophet Muhammad.
Stephen Silverstein says
The BBC is the epitome of leftism and Muslim appeasement. In the UK, we are expected to buy a TV licence for the privilege of watching the lies and the propaganda spewed by this vile organisation.
Westman says
The (X)BC’s have done everything but put two-way TV spies on the citizen’s walls. Their hand is always in the citizen’s pocket, converting money, through slight of hand, into propaganda. And, of course, telling us it was as good for us as it was for them.
James Lincoln says
Stephen Silverstein,
Absolutely true.
I’ve also noticed that when the BBC posts something on their YouTube channel, comments are disabled.
I wonder why…
Jaladhi says
Hey, don’t say anything to Muslims even when they are slitting your throat or it will offend them!! MORONS!! England is doomed!!
Fred Dawes says
See if this offends? “Muslims all are monkeys”, love evil; Muslims Murder children, Rape Little Girls! AND DO EVIL WAY ABOVE Any other people!

WPM says
God bless him for telling the truth and speaking out what was done to his people the appeasing” listening ” Pope should lend a ear and listen to him. I truly believe God hates a coward especial one in power who first duty is to speak the truth about evil done to his people he represents and try to protect them with at least speaking the truth. As a Christian how many Christian saints died speaking what they consider the truth proclaiming their faith refusing to denounce their faith. Christians all over the world are still being killed by Moslems only because of their faith. Christian ,Jews ,and Hundis still suffer for their faith under the yoke of Islam in every corner of the world.
jayell says
The chickens are certainly coming home to roost at the BBC here! For years they’ve been able to get away with ignoring and trampling on the sensibilities of their (mainly Christian-orientated) established majority licence-paying audience with their PC ‘diversity’ agenda, and they almost got away with gratuitously wrecking the life and career of one of the UK’s best-loved (Christian) veteran pop stars in order to help smoke-screen news of the worst muslim grooming gang debacle in the UK to date; but here they are, outraging another of the treasured minorities on whom they seem to rely to validate their miserable existence in order to assuage their terminal islamophilic habit. It will be very interesting to see what happens now. If they back down on this one in an attempt to salvage their ‘liberal’ credentials, it will rightly be seen as yet another almighty slap in the face for their majority audience whom they’ve deliberately made a point of disdaining and ignoring for so long now. And if they don’t back down, it will be very, very obvious indeed who holds all the aces up at Broadcasting House.
Infidel says
What the BBC did was pretty blatantly and brazenly anti-Sikh. The Sikh Guru in question was Guru Tegh Bahadur, who supported Kashmiri pundits resisting conversion to Islam (as Bon Jovi sang, the more things change, the more they stay the same!), and he was beheaded by the Mughals after tying a note to his neck that he claimed would protect him: after he was beheaded, the note read, ‘I gave up my head but not my faith’. That’s a pretty major event in Sikh religious history, and by denying the Sikh peer the right to commemorate that, the BBC just blatantly discriminated against the Sikh community.
Essentially, it’s coming to the point where the feelings of Muslims are rubbing up against not merely the feelings, but the rights of infidels. I just hope that Khalistani Sikhs in UK and Canada, who think that Indians are their biggest enemies, note that their Mohammedan ‘allies’ would happily throw them under the bus when they try to commemorate actual Sikh history of resisting persecution by the Muslims
tj says
i know u clowns love to call everyone khalistani yet support zionism. sikhs can face persecution on both ends.
Infidel says
Zionism implies the rights of Jews worldwide to migrate to Israel. I fail to see how it remotely touches the rights of Sikhs, whose homeland is the Punjab – historically both in India and Pakistan.
No, I don’t call all Sikhs Khalistani – just the ones who make common cause w/ Muslims in hope for return support on the issue of a separate Khalistan state carved only out of India, but not out of Pakistan
infidel says
What a pakka idiot U are….. Really..
infidel says
The comment was meant for tj
Jay says
England is lost!! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today!! Who will save England now?
Certainly not the USA and our allies!! Immigration/invasion by Muslims with NO acclimation NEVER works!
God save the queen! Only he can!
Janice Mermikli says
Agreed. I put my faith in Jesus Christ. What with the climate emergency, environmental degradation and the threat of Islamic extremism and nuclear obliteration, we may be living in the end times.
End PC says
Ann Marie Waters says in her excellent book “Beyond Terror” that Britain is terrified of Islam, meaning really, terrified of what angry Muslims can do. Mustn’t upset the Muslims. Self-censorship cowardice before intimidation is destroying Britain.
James Lincoln says
End PC,
Ann Marie Waters is correct in her assessment.
Witness the low threshold for “breach of the peace” that the UK police use to arrest anyone who even marginally offends a Muslim…
Tommy Robinson can certainly corroborate this.
Infidel says
It is tragic that ‘For Britain’ is just a fringe party. I’d love to see Waters and Robinson build it up to the levels of an AfD in Germany or the parties of Kurz and Salvini in Austria and Italy. B’cos I’m not even sure what sort of time Britain has on its hands.
A good first step is to just split the UK altogether – let go of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, and just focus on England. Forget the Commonwealth, the UK and just work on winning England back for the English. Let the Scots and others win back their own country, if they so choose
Martel Sobieski says
Pat Condell said it best: ” A SOCIETY OF COWARDS”
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
We should all thank this man for arguing for reality. The horrible history and ideology of Islam must be exposed. The corporate media will probably never broach these issues.
Dawne Swift says
Lord Singh is inspirational. He has also used his regular slot on this BBC programme “Thought for the Day” to speak out against the persecution and murder of Christians. Shame on the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury that they do not speak out as well.
Janice Mermikli says
They are afraid. Lord Singh, however, is not afraid.
Tom says
Good for Lord Singh for standing up to the totalitarian dictates of the BBC and their fear of upsetting Muslims with the truth.
Sikhs and Hindu’s have suffered terribly under Muslim attacks in the past. That the truth is what it is, is not the fault of the victims, but lays entirely at the feet of the Muslim attackers.
The BBC is willful blind to Muslim terrorist violence and have an inane fear of being labelled Islamophobic
Angemon says
I guess the progressive, islamophilic BBC has the hierarchy set…
Lydia Church says
This is typical.
A few things come to mind concerning living out one’s faith.
The first is that again, language is crucial. They can’t ‘force’ anyone to convert to anything against their will. They can only attempt to coerce them by various means. But whether the means will be successful or not depends on you. There are countless martyrs who have died over the church age because they were subjected to all forms of pressures and tortures to comply, but they refused to recant. No one could ‘force’ them to convert. That’s why we have martyrs. They may have lost their lives, but as Jesus said, they gained their soul’s entrance into heaven. And there is no guarantee that they will let you live even after you agree to recant. And then it won’t fare so well for you afterwards whether you live or die. But no one can force you without your consent. And Jesus said that we absolutely cannot renounce our faith, (so yes, it IS up to us) it is not an option in order to escape persecution. We may exit the persecution, but we will also have exited being a Christian. Jesus said that in order to belong to Him, we must be willing to profess Him publicly, and that not only in fair weather, hence all the predictions of impending persecution. Remember, they are persecuting us BECAUSE we are Christians, not for something else. We are called to be His witnesses regardless of the cost. That is inherent to being a Christian. Matt. 10; 32-33 and many others. His words, not mine! (And yes, I know this is talking about folks from other religions, but the same principle stands about ‘forcing’.)
On a similar note, you also can’t pretend not to be a Christian for a temporary amount of time until the coast is clear. The reason for this I just explained above. But we see this in the West slowly encroaching so much. Here a little, there a little. People start to curtail what they say, what they do, in various places. How far will it go? They are already denouncing their faith one inch at a time! And that is how the enemy wins; one inch at a time. And only because good folks are retreating one inch at a time… in order to retain some material benefit. You give an inch, and the enemy takes a mile. When it comes to Christians in hiding, obviously they are not required to stand on the rooftops with a loud speaker and proclaim that they are Christians. Just as we are not required. But what it comes down to is this. When someone asks them, or you, you must reply that you are a Christian, or you will be denying Him. That’s our lot. Jesus never said that the goal of this life is to live a life of ease, comfort, and luxury and slide into the grave like a home plate without a scratch. We will be put to the test. The Chinese are being put to the test in the same way with that social credit score, which apparently will soon be imported globally. Just something to think about. No one is exempt from testing. Not even those who think they have special privileges.
There is a saying: “I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.”
Well, that’s me! I live out my Christian faith in every way. I don’t ‘check’ my speech or myself at all, to make sure that I’m not ‘offending’ anyone. If I’m not offending someone, then there is a problem. Jesus said the world would be offended because we ARE His witnesses! The world will hate us just as it hated Him! If I do ‘check’ anything, it’s only to make sure I’m being loud enough as His witness. And according to Him, if you ‘pretend’ not to be a Christian, then you are not one anymore. He said if you are ashamed of Him He will be ashamed of you. If it’s just to survive, He said it’s better to lose all the world and gain your soul, not the other way around; gain the whole world and lose your soul. Count the cost. And yes, you can ‘lose’ your salvation, despite the many false shepherds who say otherwise. How else would Matt. 10; 32-33 make sense? He’s not talking about the unsaved! Of course they won’t confess Him! But they pretend to be something very different to hold onto something, and in the process they become that thing they pretend to be, and let go of and lose something else much more valuable. In the end, they succumb to the sharia, for one example.
I hope I have encouraged at least someone to be bold in their Christian faith!
“I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.”
Lydia Church says
And of course the brutal jihad armies doing the devil’s work have attacked and slaughtered millions for not converting to islam, I’m in no way denying that. I’m making the point that if faced with every last one of them, I will not convert to anything else. And thus no one else has to either. I will live and die a Christian.
Janice Mermikli says
Lydia Church, you are a true Christian and a bold witness for Jesus Christ. I wish there were many more people with your faith and conviction.
Linda Rivera says
Lydia, Sikhs are a good people and highly respected by native Brits. Sikhs don’t believe in Jesus Christ. However, in India, a long time ago, some Hindus came to understand that there is ONE true God, the Creator. This started the Sikh religion.
Because of their strong belief in the HOLY ONE, Sikhs have suffered horrendous tortures and slaughters from Muslims. In the past, many Sikhs died suffering excruciating agony at the hands of Muslims, rather than deny the One True God, our Precious Wonderful Creator.
May God forever bless and protect our Sikh brothers and sisters.
jewdog says
I’m glad the guy had principles and quit. He was obviously “Sikh and tired” of all the pandering which I’m sure went way beyond just this one incident.
Linda Clark says
The first comment here is exactly why the UK kowtows to Muslims. And the Government and Media are TERRIFIED of the backlash, and rightly so. The population of Non Muslims all (except for hunting rifles) has been disarmed. Their men would rather talk or walk away, than fight so if the Muslims rise up, it’s GOOD BYE Democracy(what’s left of it anyway) and HELLO Caliphate.

Is it time yet to demand “reparations” fro Britain for enslaving America, and, when they resist (because they’re already woke and broke, what with trying to accommodate all their new muslim masters’ demands) we simply invade and conquer them for their own good? Personally, I think it’s long past time. We could install a puppet regime with Tommy Robinson as their new Bruvnor. I’m sure the native Brits would welcome our troops with open arms, and strew flowers along the road for the triumphal march to Buck House to liberate Queen Lizzy.
Theodore Freund says
BBC is no different than this website. It also censors documented Islam material.

How does Jihad Watch censor “documented Islam (sic) material”? What are you babbling about?

The BBC doesn’t allow anyone to honour a non Muslim who is brave and good and ethical. It greatly offends Muslims.
