Is the BBC scared of making jokes about Muslims?
April 3, 2008 12:50 pmAt the time of writing, Pat Condell’s website at has been taken offline by Homestead with the message:”Sorry, the site you requested has been disabled” , not “exceeded bandwidth” or anything like that.Update! Don’t worry - I went up to Mount Sensible, and I saw a bespectacled wise man who passed me a couple of tablets and said
“Lo! For I am simply changing my host and not to worry about it”.
So there you go. No conspiracy. Got me worried though!Also, some Youtube users are reducing Pat’s viewcount and popularity by stealing his content, worst offender being janelite007 I’ve already left a message on this person’s channel. Please do the same.Also, can everyone please send the following message to Youtube.
Hi - theYoutube user patcondell is having his videos stolen by the user janelite007Eg., this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxbYBIlT6VEIs identical to this original video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3_qelW5qp4I feel this violates policy and users should be redirected to v=W3_qelW5qp4 and the views transferred.

Comedian and writer Ben Elton has said the BBC is too “scared” to broadcast jokes about Muslims for fear of provoking radical Islamists.Elton, in an interview with Christian magazine Third Way, added that the broadcaster would “let vicar gags pass but would not let imam gags pass”.He said fear rather than “moral sensibilities” fuelled decisions about what material was appropriate.
So here’s a video:
