BBC is full of liberals afraid to mock Islam (says veteran of the BBC)

A respected BBC broadcaster has 
claimed television is dominated by ‘liberal sceptical humanists’ who 
laugh at Christianity but are afraid to mock Islam. 


Roger Bolton, a former editor of Panorama, said an obsession with human 
rights over religious beliefs had left corporation bosses out of touch 
with the public.

In the 
modern culture of broadcasting, Mr Bolton said anyone who opposed gay 
marriage or IVF was treated as a ‘lunatic’ if it was because of their 
religious beliefs. 


He added: ‘The default position in broadcasting is always, it’s a question of 
human rights and how can they do it.’

Mr Bolton said it had got to a point where audiences thought it was ‘fun’ 
to mock Christianity but would not dare laugh at jokes about Islam. 


He said in the last few years ‘something went wrong with the BBC’s 
religious programming’ and questioned whether it was ‘fit for purpose’.

Mr Bolton presented Sunday, Radio 4’s main programme for religious news and 
current affairs, for 12 years until 2010. 

Now the presenter of Radio 4’s 
Feedback show, he made his comments at the BBC’s Re:Think festival in 
Salford, when he gave a speech and sat on a discussion panel.

He said  that Christians wanted a ‘level playing field’ when being laughed at 
rather than being ‘singled out’. And he added that those who raised 
the matter of religion felt other faiths did not ‘have to put up with 
what Christianity does’.

‘It is perfectly alright to make any 
joke you like about Christianity,’ he said. ‘You try to make a joke 
about Muslims, or Jews, or about Sikhs.’
Issues are too often seen purely in terms of human rights, he said. 


‘At
least there should be an effort to people to say that just because 
someone opposes gay marriage, just because someone opposes IVF, doesn’t 
mean they are a lunatic, it is out of their beliefs.’

‘Liberal sceptical humanists tend to 
dominate television,’ he said. ‘But they are not, I believe, 
representative of the country.’

He added: ‘I believe it is no coincidence that the last three BBC heads of 
religious broadcasting left their jobs to various degrees disillusioned with 
the corporation’s treatment of religion and ethics

But Mr Bolton also said: ‘What I do now think is that Muslims in particular 
ought to be mature enough in this country to take that humour and that 
Christians do have a right on their side when they say the satire 
applied to them ought to be applied to others.’

The BBC’s head of religion and ethics, Aaqil Ahmed, a Muslim, said it was a 
‘complicated’ situation, adding that things ‘took time to evolve’ and 
newer communities had not had their religion ‘ridiculed’ for as long as 
others had been. 


A BBC spokesman said: ‘This is an incorrect view of BBC religious and ethics 
programming. 


‘As well as observing  major religious festivals across TV and radio, BBC 
religion and ethics provide over 170 hours of programmes ranging from 
Songs of Praise to documentary series, such as  Dead Good Job, Divine 
Women, The Life of Muhammad, as well as topical debate such as The Big 
Questions.

‘These provide the audience with a rich mix of programmes that reflect  
society’s relation to religion today.’
