Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “radio,” came with a note:
This one is from a year-old story which I missed at the time. The script writes itself!
The story is from The National Secular Society, and here’s the beginning:
The National Secular Society has referred a charity to the charity regulator after it was fined for broadcasting antisemitism over its Islamic radio show.
Media regulator Ofcom announced this week it has fined Markaz-Al-Huda Limited £3,500 for a programme in which Jews were called “the biggest enemies of humanity”.
The NSS reported Markaz-Al-Huda, which says its charitable activities include eradicating “religious and cultural prejudices”, to the Charity Commission following the announcement.
Markaz-Al-Huda runs the radio station Salaam BCR. Although the charity surrendered its community radio license, which means it can no longer broadcast on the airwaves, Salaam BCR continues to stream content on its non-licensable online service.
Charities are entitled to extensive tax breaks. They must exist for the public benefit, and must not publish material that “incites hatred on the grounds of race, religion or sexual orientation”.
Looks like Mo is still implacably opposed to Zionists and Zionism:
At least the radio station got in trouble. That’s better than getting a pass, which is better than getting an award.
Incredible that a ‘charitable’ group would claim to have the goal of eradicating prejudices while fomenting hate of an entire group of human beings. Calling Jews the biggest threat to humanity is exactly what Hitler & Co. said to enlist the entire population of Germany in exterminating them–and as we know, it worked. The frequency and openness of these kinds of messages is alarming.
True peace, not just the temporary absence of war, requires having no enemies. And this lofty end can be attained by wildly different means….
Since the “charity” says that they are dedicated to eradicating “religious and cultural prejudices”, then I can only assume that they think they are providing a “public benefit” by focusing attention on who everyone should hate (Jews, of course). Not prejudice, just fact, right? Such generosity truly knows no bounds.
It never ceases to amaze me that so-called “progressives” can virulently object to the existence of just one liberal Jewish state while being perfectly happy with over 50 oppressive Islamic states.
