Clinton 'Hurt' by Charges of Anti-Islam US Bias

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was hurt by the idea that the United States was against Islam, during a public forum in Muslim-majority Bangladesh. Clinton claims the US has gone farther than most countries to guarantee legal protections for minorities.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday she was deeply hurt by charges that the United States was biased against Muslims, staunchly defending her country's record in protecting minorities.

Clinton, visiting the world's third largest Muslim-majority country Bangladesh, was asked by a student at a public forum about perceptions that the United States was against Islam.

"That hurts me so much," Clinton said. "It's a painful perception to hear about and I deeply regret that anyone believes that or propagates it."

Clinton said that the decade of US-led war was "self-defense" after the September 11, 2001 attacks by Al-Qaeda and said extremists "perverted" the teachings of Islam. » | AFP | Sunday, May 06, 2012

BBC Supports Islam, Attacks Christianity
MAIL Online: One of Radio 2's most popular religious presenters has launched a stinging attack on the BBC suggesting the broadcaster is biased against Christianity.

Don Maclean, 66, who hosted Good Morning Sunday for 16 years, said the broadcaster was 'keen' on programmes that attack the Christian church.

He said programming chiefs were keen to take a 'negative angle at every opportunity' in a way they do not with other faiths like Islam.

Mr Maclean said programmes about Anglicanism on the BBC always discuss gay clergy and for Catholicism they always mention paedophiles.

The presenter, who was replaced on the Radio 2 show in 2006 by Aled Jones, claimed the broadcaster was trying to 'secularise the country'.

He admitted that he was dismayed that the BBC recently appointed Aaqil Ahmed, a Muslim, as its new head of religious programming. The BBC supports Islam and attacks Christianity, claims Radio 2 stalwart Don Maclean >>> Paul Revoir | Monday, June 22, 2009
