Ibtisam Posted September 17, 2007 If the fiasco surrounding their "Undercover Mosques" programme wasn't enough, the Dispatches team is set to broadcast another attack on Muslims tomorrow evening. This time claiming that former Muslim converts to Christianity are facing "Mob Justice" from their former communities. No doubt the scale of the problem will be blown out of proportion once again. There is a strong case to attack the Dispatches team credibility especially after they were reported by West Midlands Police for misrepresentation. Dispatches investigates the violence and intimidation facing Muslims who convert to Christianity in Britain. Dispatches reporter Antony Barnett meets former Muslims who now live under the threat of reprisals from their former communities. Many are still living in fear. He interviews a family who have been driven out of their home and a convert whose brother was beaten close to death. The investigation uncovers a network of churches supporting converts from Islam who have to worship under a veil of secrecy. It is estimated there are as many as 3,000 Muslims who have converted to Christianity living in Britain. Converting to another religion for a Muslim is not just considered a taboo act by some believers. Certain Islamic texts demand converts - also known as apostates - be punished severely for deserting their faith. In several Islamic states, the death penalty is imposed. Here in Britain, Dispatches discovers a form of mob justice is taking place on our streets. A concerned Christian bishop tells Dispatches that it may not be long before a British convert is killed, and implores Muslim leaders to take action. Dispatches discovers the situation for converts from Islam in Britain is a tinderbox waiting to explode. Increasingly asylum seekers from Islamic countries are exploring different faiths in Britain while a new strand of evangelical Christianity is targeting Britain's Muslims for conversion. With radical British Islamic groups calling for apostates to be executed if they achieved their goal of a worldwide Islamic state, it's a potentially dangerous cocktail that has been exacerbated by the silence of both Muslim and Christian leaders on the subject.

me Posted September 17, 2007 Man you UK people are behind............everything we had in Holland 3 years ago is reaching you now. I am starting to believe that they test on the muslims in Holland and whatever makes them angry they export it. We are now on banning the quran or rewritting it and establishing comites for traumatised ex-muslims. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

me Posted September 17, 2007 Lily waxba isma dhaamaan. They all facist. Caano geel the right wing is growing fast, but their problem is that they splinter too much they are divided over many smaller parties. Wilders is here to stay but his party will loose seats to a new right wing party led by Rita Verdonk. I remmember when Dutch politics was boring, now its the countries nr.1 form of entertainment. A scarry thought is its the young that are mainly voting for the right, and the left has been forced to move to the centre, there almost no far left political parties.

ElPunto Posted September 17, 2007 ^People have the right to ostracize, shun and avoid anyone they choose to including converts. If there is violence or threats of violence then the state should and does intervene according to the law. So what is the substance of this programme anway?

Caano Geel Posted September 17, 2007 ^ Geert Wilders is a far right nutter and after the sensationalist headlines that come with such a comment. Its depressing that his party holds seats, but they are small and will hopefully fade in time like the the fascist fad that they represent [edit] .. me, did i post this in the wrong topic ! anyhow, your right, the dutch and the dannes are marching to the looney tunes at moment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
