UK: Police Apologize to Channel 4 for Accusing Them of Inciting Racial Hatred After Exposing Islamist Clerics.....

The West Midlands Police is a disgrace, instead of going after the clerics documented on film calling for jihad, they attack the documentary makers. Pathetic display of dhimminess.....

Police and prosecutors have apologised in public, and on the internet, and will pay a six-figure sum to charity after accusing a Channel 4 documentary on extremism in Britain's mosques of being misleading.

Dispatches: Undercover Mosque was broadcast in January last year and featured alarming excerpts from preachers and teachers. 

Speakers in the programme made comments including: "Allah created the woman deficient" and "By the age of 10, it becomes an obligation on us to force her (young girls) to wear hijab and if she doesn't wear hijab, we hit her".

Other statements included "take that homosexual and throw him off the mountain" and "whoever changes his religion from Al Islam to anything else - kill him in the Islamic state".

The Crown Prosecution Service and West Midlands Police reported Channel 4 to TV watchdog Ofcom for "heavily editing" the words of Islamic imams to give them a more sinister meaning.

Police had initially investiagted whether three of the individuals shown in the programme could be prosecuted for inciting terrorism or racial hatred.

But they later turned on Channel 4, saying the broadcaster had committed offences by showing the documentary - specifically in stirring up racial hatred.

The apology has been made at the High Court following Channel 4's decision to launch libel proceedings against police and the CPS.

On their website, West Midlands Police have said: "Following an independent investigation by the broadcasting regulator Ofcom, we now accept that we were wrong to make these allegations.
