Hey dhimmi, keep it down:
A Muslim activist group with links to the Muslim Brotherhood has asked the British government to restrict the way the British media reports about Muslims and Islam…
Yeah, right, as if that would ever hap….
Lord Justice Leveson expressed sympathy for Bunglawala’s plea and said that any government regulation of the British media would have to extend to the Internet and include blogs, so as to ensure a “level playing field” between print and online media.
Lord Hunt, the chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, a self-regulatory body which deals with complaints about the editorial content of newspapers and magazines, recently said he is looking into the idea of regulating bloggers and online publications. According to him, “at the moment, it [the Internet] is like the Wild West out there. We need to appoint a sheriff.”
Lord Hunt would invite bloggers on current affairs to voluntarily agree to regulation. They would receive a seal-of-approval rating…
The article at the Stonegate Institute notes that Inayat Bunglawala, the Muslim activist who testified in favour of press restrictions, and who “strongly objects to the use of the phrase ‘Islamic terrorism'”, once described Osama bin Laden as a “freedom fighter for…Muslims in Britain” and praised the courage of Omar Abdul-Rahman, the ringleader of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
