BBC Disgrace of the Day

• Views: 1,313

The BBC races to show their sensitivity and appease the seething, whining Muslim Council of Britain, suspending talk show host Robert Kilroy-Silk for daring to voice some simple truths about the Arab world: BBC halts Kilroy for race ‘rant’.

The Kilroy programme will be taken off air immediately following comments made by Robert Kilroy-Silk in a newspaper article, the BBC has announced.

The presenter branded Arabs “suicide bombers, limb amputators, women repressors” and asked what they had given to the world other than oil.

The BBC stressed the comments did not reflect its views as a broadcaster.

It said the BBC One programme would be suspended from Monday while it investigated the matter fully.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) described the piece written by the discussion show host in last week’s Sunday Express as a “gratuitous anti-Arab rant”.

Mr Kilroy-Silk’s article included comments saying the toppling of despotic regimes in the Middle East should be a war aim, and questioned the contribution of the Arab nations to world welfare and civilisation.

He referred to how Arabs “murdered more than 3,000 civilians on 11 September” and then “danced in the streets” to celebrate.
