Muslim Drag Queens: Stars of Channel 4 Show Brave Death Threats to Appear in Film

THE INDEPENDENT: 'There is a whole community that is living in Britain which is hidden - now is the time to come out'

“I’m gay, I’m Muslim, I’m a drag queen, I’m British and Pakistani,” said Asif Quraishi, Britain’s first out and proud Muslim drag queen who performs under the glamorous alter ego, Asifa Lahore. “People say these things shouldn’t fit together but hey, here I am.”

Now Quaraishi and his fellow artistes have been promised police protection amid fears that a Channel 4 documentary shining a spotlight on the “hidden” community of gay British Asians could provoke a violent response.

Quraishi, 33, from Southall, West London, performs a provocative act in which he strips off a Burka and has received death threats from fellow Muslims.

The winner of the LGBT award at Attitude magazine’s Pride ceremony, Quraishi estimates that there are 150 drag queens across Britain who, are devout Muslims, like himself.

The documentary, Muslim Drag Queens, broadcast on 24 August, follows three members of a largely clandestine gay Asian community who are challenging taboos within Islam through their embrace of cross-dressing exhibitionism. » | Adam Sherwin | Media Correspondent | Tuesday, August 18, 2015

BBC, ITV and Channel 4 Face Inquiry Over Anjem Choudary Interviews

THE GUARDIAN: Media regulator Ofcom launches investigation after radical cleric was given airtime in wake of Lee Rigby's death in Woolwich

BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are to be investigated by media regulatorOfcom over their decision to give airtime to radical cleric Anjem Choudray in the wake of the Woolwich attack.

The media regulator has launched an investigation into interviews with Choudray aired on Channel 4 News, BBC2's Newsnight and ITV's Daybreak in the days after the death of Lee Rigby in May after receiving complaints from viewers that the preacher's comments were offensive.

In a series of interviews following the murder on 22 May Choudray, who is banned from entering France by the nation's interior ministry, refused to condemn the killing. » | Mark Sweney | Monday, July 15, 2013

Ramadan: Gebetsruf im TV provoziert die Briten

SCHWEIZER RADIO UND FERNSEHEN: Grossbritanniens öffentlich-rechtlicher TV-Sender Channel 4 strahlt den Ruf des Muezzins aus. Täglich, während des ganzen Fastenmonats Ramadan, der heute angefangen hat. Das sorgt für Kritik, obwohl Nachts um drei kaum einer zuschaut.

«Channel 4 versucht tatsächlich, die islamische Praxis in den Alltag zu integrieren», so die Einschätzung des SRF-Grossbritannien-Korrespondenten Martin Alioth. Dass die erklärte Provokation des Senders so gut wirke, weise auf einen Zustand hin, der bekannt sei: Der Islam werde nicht als etwas Alltägliches wahrgenommen im Land.

Channel 4 to 'Provoke' Viewers Who Associate Islam with Terrorism with Live Call to Prayer during Ramadan

THE INDEPENDENT: The broadcaster will provide extensive coverage of the Muslim period of prayer to challenge those who associate the religion with extremism and terror

Channel 4 has said it will broadcast the Muslim call to prayer live every morning during Ramadan as a deliberate act of “provocation” aimed at viewers who associate Islam with terrorism and extremism.

The broadcaster, which was launched with a mission to appeal to minority audiences, will return to its controversial roots by screening a season of programmes around the Muslim period of prayer and fasting, which begins next Tuesday.

A senior Channel 4 executive defended the broadcaster’s decision to provide extensive coverage of the most significant event in the Islamic calendar by suggesting that Ramadan was of greater interest to its viewers than the “blanket coverage” given to the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation by its rivals.

Ralph Lee, head of factual programming, said that Channel 4 would become the first mainstream British television channel to broadcast the call to prayer (adhan) on a daily basis.

Writing in the Radio Times, Lee claimed: “Observing the adhan on Channel 4 will act as a nationwide tannoy system, a deliberate ‘provocation’ to all our viewers in the very real sense of the word.”

Lee said that the “vast majority of people in Britain” would not be aware of the “mass act of personal sacrifice and worship” about to commence.

“Not surprising when you consider its (Ramadan) near invisibility on mainstream TV. Contrast this with the way most Muslims are represented on television – nearly always appearing in contexts related to extremism or terrorism,” he wrote. » | Adam Sherwin | Tuesday, July 02, 2013

My comment on The Guardian:

First we had David Cameron telling us that the beheading of Lee Rigby was a betrayal of Islam. Then we had the banning of Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from these shores. Now this: the broadcasting of al-adhan each morning on Channel 4 during Ramadhan. What are we to make of this except capitulation? These are sad times for a once strong, proud nation. – © Mark
