Mel P on the Moral Maze
I blame Douglas Murray. He shouldn't have called us opportunists. I was reading Melanie Phillips' article on 'Sleepwalking into Islamisation' in which she has asserted that the problem with the government's counter-extremism approach is that it does not recognise that the problem is with Islam itself. You can read the article here. She states that :
"The reason so many older British Muslims are traditionally moderate is that they were brought up in the Asian subcontinent under a tamed form of Islam, deriving from centuries of colonial rule, which glossed over much of the teaching of the religion".
This is appalling. The Daily Mail, as a private organisation, is free to employ her services. However, she also appears on the Moral Maze for radio 4. So I have sent the following questions to the BBC and await a reply:
How much are members of the Moral Maze team paid for each of their appearances on the Moral Maze?
How many times has the Moral Maze covered Islam and/or Muslims as the main topic since September 2001?
How many times has Melanie Phillips appeared on the Moral Maze as a member of the Moral Maze team since September 2001?
How many times has Melanie Phillips appeared on the Moral Maze (as a member of the Moral Maze team) when the main topic of discussion has been Islam and/or Muslims since September 2001?
