Channel 4 and the Crusades

I'll be brief.

Channel 4 is to broadcast a documentary (part of a series) on 1st Feb 7.00pm called 'Christianity: A History'.

This particular episode deals with the Crusades.

It is to be presented by Rageh Omaar, a black Somalian Muslim.

Would it have been too much to expect a British TV company like Channel 4 to perhaps show things from a white Christian point of view - being that the Crusaders were white Christians?

Maybe they are showing it from a white Christian point of view but are just using a black Somalian Muslim to present the programme. I doubt it.

Behaviour worthy of the BBC I think.

  1. I wonder if the focus on the Crusades will start at the time of Christians heading to the middle East or about 150 years before.

    At that time 1/3 of the Christian world including Spain was under the heel of the moslem barbarians.

    Even cities such as Rome itself had been looted, in Milan a mosque was built after the church was burned down.

    Methinks selective history will be used.

  2. Tere was a program on Islam not long ago done by a none muslim.
    But i do agree, islam hate all other religions so to do a report on any other kind of religion would only provoke a bias report.
    Its bollocks complete utter bollocks.
    The BBC however has suprissed me in their stance on the apeal its a shame that every other Channel has sold out to terrorism.

  3. Hell I would love a chance to do a program on that, I did the Crusades and the factors that led up to it for my history exam in School.

    I shall be watching just to find what he misses out, what he spins and what lies he may well slip in.

    Monkey:
    I'm also very surprised by the BBC with their stance over the appeal.
