The UK Sun, reports that the BBC has caved
in and is junking an already filmed episode of a hit series for fear of offending
Muslims - because an al Qaeda terrorist is shot dead:
a £1million episode of hit drama Spooks
in which an al-Qaeda terrorist is shot dead - in case it upsets Muslims.
Filming the assassination plot for the MI5
drama took four weeks.
But actor Shaun Dingwall who plays a renegade
Christian gunman, fears he could become a target for fundamentalists if the
scene is aired.
In the episode, due to be shown later this
year, a religious nut played by Shaun, 35, guns down the fanatic on the steps
of London's High Court.
But production sources admitted it could be
canned. One said: "In the climate of Muslim fury over cartoons, Shaun
isn't sure about it all."
Notice that nobody at the BBC seems to be
the least concerned about offending Christians by portraying a fanatical,
crazed, murderous Christian.
