The Uncle Toms at the BBC

                                               A rare slip reveals Khan's contempt

Just imagine. It’s the morning after yet another terrorist atrocity. What do we hear from the BBC? “Hey, closet racists and Islamophobes! Don’t forget that the militants who carried out this regrettable incident are an infinitesimally small percentage of Muslims. The vast majority of our Muslim-British are as shocked and disgusted as you are by the barbarity of a few twisted and deluded individuals.” In short the vast majority of Muslims are moderate. They think like you and they fully support the police against that statistical zero of their co-religionists who carried out the attack.

I often wondered whether those talking heads at the BBC actually believed this dangerous rubbish or whether they are just cynical liars. Well, now I wonder no more. The acid test is in and it turns out that the BBC is well aware of what it’s shovelling.

That acid test comes in the form of a PRESS TV interview with the Labour candidate for Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. In it he makes his utter contempt for moderate Muslims who cooperate with the authorities clear by derisively referring to them as “Uncle Toms”.

Now imagine you were a BBC talking head who actually believed that the vast majority of Muslims are moderate and you saw that interview over breakfast. You’d be spitting out your cornflakes in rage that this extremist had used a racially charged term to paint moderate Muslims as simple-minded collaborators. Those same moderate Muslims that you’ve been telling everybody for years are the overwhelming majority in their community. You’d also be terrified that the rest of us would make the simplistic assumption that Sadiq Khan’s views are typical of all Muslims. So you’d want to hang this extremist by his own petard by running the offensive clip again and again till he ignominiously backed out of politics. And by thus disposing of one bad apple the BBC would enable a true representative of the moderate Muslim majority to come forward and speak for his people.

But the BBC has ignored this incredibly newsworthy revelation. The “trusted” BBC has ignored a story that’s as big in its own way as it would be for Boris Johnson to dismiss all law-abiding non-racist white people as "race traitors".

Of course, if that were the story the BBC would have the clip playing on a permanent loop till at least the Brexit vote is out of the way and probably till Boris’s friends encouraged him to do the decent thing in his library with a last cigar and a 45.

 

It turns out that far from being surprised by Sadiq Khan’s view of moderate Muslims the BBC have never had any delusions about his politics. How could they when they’ve been covering up for him throughout his career?

A current story illustrates their MO. David Cameron told The House of Commons in yesterday PM’s questions that Khan had appeared on the same platform as IS supporter, Suliman Gani, nine times. Utterly damning you would have thought. All that remains for the BBC is to check it out and then reveal the shocking truth about the extremist links of Labour’s candidate.

  

But here’s how the story got reported on the BBC site:

Sadiq Khan hits back at PM's claim he shared platform with extremists

What follows are numerous quotes from Khan and his supporters to the effect that Cameron’s allegations are yet another Islamophobic attempt to smear Sadiq Khan. The article has very effectively spun the story 180 degrees into an oh so reasonable sounding tale about the dastardly tactics of creepy Conservatives.

To appreciate just how weird it is that an unambiguous story of an extremist Muslim politician hanging out with a supporter of people who have tortured thousands to death in the name of Islam you only need change the main characters round. Imagine the story was that Jeremy Corbyn had revealed that the Conservative candidate for Mayor had appeared on the same platform with a BNP stalwart nine times.

Nine times? Once would have been enough for the BBC to sink his career without trace and smear all Conservatives into the bargain. And the BNP haven’t even released a single torture video on YouTube!

The BBC ignored Sadiq Khan’s remark about moderate Muslims being “Uncle Toms” because they know what he knows and what the British people should know. Far from being the overwhelming majority, moderate Muslims are in fact a small, forlorn and despised minority. If they were even a significant minority an ambitious politician like Sadiq Khan would be sucking up to them in much the same way that Cameron does to the quintessentially moderate “Middle England”. Khan derides them because they are irrelevant electorally and even a liability to be associated with.

The BBC knows that Sadiq Khan associates with Islamist nutjobs because it plays well in the Muslim community.

The BBC thinks that Muslims are attracted to such extremists as a result of Israel’s policies and the "oppression" they are under in Britain.

The BBC thinks it will be a great step forward for race relations when Sadiq Khan is elected Mayor of London on Friday.

What the BBC doesn’t know or even suspect is that they themselves are Uncle Toms cosying up to the supremacist ideology of our fast growing Muslim population.
