   UK Channel 4 wages war against Islam

UK Channel 4 has 
engaged in a direct war against Islam by airing a documentary which 
distorts the reality of the glorious Faith. 

Over 1000 complaints have been made to the channel and another 200 
to the UK media regulator Ofcom over a documentary about the origins of 
Islam.

By way of avoiding an investigation into the matter, an Ofcom 
spokesman has said, "We will assess them and if we believe there has 
been a possible breach of the broadcasting code, we would hold an 
investigation, but no decision to that effect has been taken."

Islam: The Untold Story, presented by Tom Holland, claims 
there is little written contemporary evidence about the origin of Islam 
and the life of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

As another politically-motivated attempt by followers of the English
 Defence League (EDL) to misrepresent the realities of Islam, the 
production is a mere distortion of history presented by someone with no 
background of religious knowledge.

Holland�s works mostly comprise vampire and adventure stories, and 
his non-fiction books are nothing related to religious issues or Islam.

It is, therefore, not surprising that the 44-year-old writer became 
the target of many criticisms by Muslim viewers who took to Twitter to 
vent their fury at his inaccurate claims and imaginative lies about the 
true divine religion.

The Islamic Education and Research Academy (IERA) also said Holland 
was making "baseless assumptions" and engaging in "selective 
scholarship".

"Holland has cherry picked from evidence as well as 
scholarship to take an unsubstantiated and marginalized view on the 
origins of Islam,� the IERA said.

"He saw what he wanted to see and rejected recklessly what he didn't
 like. His exclusion of established academic positions and material 
facts points to the only conclusion of justifying his own prejudices and
 ignorance of Islamic tradition."
