The BBC has received "thousands" of complaints about controversial cartoon Popetown from viewers angry at the portrayal of a "corrupt" Roman Catholic church. They think nothing of smearing the Catholic Church while firing a Presenter for making Anti-Muslim remarks.

It would be an interesting exercise to take a one year period and compare everything the Beeb said about Christian churches against everything they said about Islamic mosques and madrassas in the same period. Does anybody remember the Beeb saying anything about the Wahabbi takeover of American and European mosques? My distinct impression is that Islam is treated with such straight-faced reverence that you would presume that the Beeb is operating under Shari'a strictures. I would say they practice massive self-censorship.
