Muslim now BBC head of religion

I was horrified to read this post in the Times on 12 May. One has to wonder about the "political correctness" that permeates our society. Ta appoint a Muslim as head of religious broadcasting at the BBC, the state broadcast medium of a supposed Christian country takes the biscuit.

It saddens me. I still thoroughly enjoy about every third programme in the "Songs of Praise" series. But I even find more than 50% of those programmes poor, and wrote to complain recently about an entire half hour programme broadcast in Welsh, which Aled Jones claimed was "God's own language".

Shame to see the BBC fall so far, particularly as I was an employee. I also notice they broadcast evolution as scientific fact, and try to prevent an Evangelical Christian broadcaster in Holland using their programmes with these unproven claims omitted. How the BBC has lost its way!
