Nov 20, 2007 Quickie Link: C4 Cleared over Muslim Gay-Hate Documentary
By vanrozenheim

(UK) - The broadcasting watchdog has cleared Channel 4 over a documentary broadcast in January exposing homophobic preaching in UK mosques. The Dispatches programme portrayed a Birmingham mosque as a haven for extreme views. Today Ofcom ruled that Undercover Mosque had not misled viewers or offended Muslims. Undercover footage showed preacher Abu Usamah at Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham calling for Gay people to be executed. "If I were to call homosexuals perverted, dirty, filthy dogs who should be murdered, that's my freedom of speech, isn't it?" he told followers. A scene in the advertising for the documentary also showed a preacher calling for people to “take that homosexual and throw him off a mountain.”
