    Can't do anything without someone bitching and moaning these days. If Muslims aren't a bad religion group why aren't there video's showing them in a good light? You can't thats way.

    Depressing :-( Self-censorship due to fear of violence has no place in civilised society, but the threat is very real, so it's understandable but regrettable. No-one wants to be the next victim of insanely violent religious nutters.

    I no longer watch channel 4. I detest Brian "I spend way too much time in tanning salons trying to look beautiful" Williams. I bet his picture appears in dictionaries to illustrate the word "windbag".
