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:
