The Useful Idiot

I and my posting friends are beginning to form an opinion that BBC Moderation department is full of Islamophiles and Antisemities. How else do you conclude from BBC allowing "Jews are liars", and now this.

Here is the text of a post on BBC 5Live ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbfivelive/F2148564?thread=4352359 )  :-

Are the claims of rising anti-semitism a myth, built up by overplaying minor incidences in the UK?

There have been attacks on Jews, no doubt on that, but then you get attacks on single mothers, on police officers, on nurses, on shop staff which are all far more commen then attacks on members the the Jewish Community.

So are certain, pro-israeli UK media outlets over playing the anti-semitism card?

Discuss

Note that Antisemitism cannot be relevant because people who belong to a population greater than the number of Jews in the UK get attacked more often.

Now, I know of a poster who complained about that post twice. The Moderators didn't agree. So, they posted EXACTLY the same but changed the title to "Is Islamaphobia a Myth?"

The text was:-

The post was removed!!!

The conclusion is obvious. You can disabuse Jews but don't say the same about Muslims. Its not that the poster WANTED to imply there was no such think as Islamaphobia, of course there is. What they sought to do was to out the BBC as to its attitudes.

Mission accomplished!

UPDATE:

After the Antisemitic thread had received 65 response and at least two complaints. After an hour after the last complaint (at least) the Moderators were forced to take the thread down because the spoiler thread was instantly removed.

Now, how come the Moderators could spot within a few minutes that the spoiler thread about Islampahobia should be removed but they let 65 replies to the thread about Anti-Semitism and it stayed up for nearly 2 hours?

They found a neat way out. They decided the thread should be on teh Religion and Ethics Messageboard. How come they took so long? Why didn't they spot that after the first complaint.

I still believe there is something rotten at their core.
