UnderCover Mosque: OFCOM

Channel 4 vindicated over Undercover Mosque

Ofcom rejects 'perverse' police complaints about C4 expose of Muslim extremists

Media watchdog Ofcom has rejected complaints by West Midlands Police about a Channel 4 undercover programme that exposed extremism in British mosques.


The programme, called Undercover Mosque, was part of its current affairs Dispatches series and was broadcast in January. It featured TV footage of an Islamic preacher praising the death of a British soldier.

Police claimed that the programme had misrepresented the views of Muslim preachers and clerics with misleading editing.

Following the ruling, the broadcaster called the police's actions "perverse" and said they had, in some people's eyes, given "legitimacy to people preaching a message of hate."

Ofcom said: "Undercover Mosque was a legitimate investigation, uncovering matters of important public interest.

"Ofcom found no evidence that the broadcaster had misled the audience or that the programme was likely to encourage or incite criminal activity."




"On the evidence (including untransmitted footage and scripts), Ofcom found that the broadcaster had accurately represented the material it had gathered and dealt with the subject matter responsibly and in context."


The programme featured undercover recordings from speakers alleged to be homophobic, anti-Semitic, sexist and condemnatory of non-Muslims.

@PathToSuccess2011 "JUDGE A MUSLIM BY ISLAM AND ITS LAW!"

Okay, okay, no need to shout :-)

Right, its law... that would be Sharia... okay...

Oh... it stones adulterers buried up to their necks in the earth. Oh... it hangs teenage homosexuals. Oh... it beheads critics of, and apostates from Islam. Oh... women have half the rights of a man....

By the very basic principles of The International Bill of Human Rights, Islam has been judged. Guilty. Guilty of contravening humanity itself.

one query, skeptics say that islam is to blame for the radicalizing of young men, persuading them to fight against the west's cultural imperialism, devastating the globe. For instance Britain is at war with Afghanistan, strangely Afghanistan in no way shape or form posed or poses a threat, and or risk to the lives of british citizens Afghans are defenseless against Nato forces occupying their country. Why aren't muslims allowed to fight against Nato, defend their people is this really so crazy?

@7927433 what does this promote? its pathetic, white christians have killed millions through colonization, imperialism, the many many wars. But blaming a creed or race, and overtly spreading bigotry is disgusting, shame...

Get off your smelly back sight and read the Qur'an in any language you like, you will not find one error. people 14,00+ years ago didnt find it so why would you. Read it and you will find all your answers will be there. Well go on get your facts right before you spread lies and abuse of what you know not! READ IT WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE.

DONT JUDGE ISLAM BY A MUSLIM but JUDGE A MUSLIM BY ISLAM AND ITS LAW!

MAY GOD'S PEACE AND MERCY BE UPON YOU ALL.

GOD says in the Quran: " Everyone shall taste death. And only on the day of resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the fire and admitted to paradise, this person is indeed successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception:" (Quran 3:185),
