Stephen “dogshit” Green, who I mentioned in an earlier post having lost his private suit against the BBC et al for ‘blasphemy’ and was considering bankrupty has set up a petition to try to shame the BBC into waiving the costs he was ordered to pay by the court.
Another petition has since arisen against his [...]

Northern Ireland, that bastion of (arguably religiously supported) sectarian bullshit can now proudly lay claim to another religious born-again bigot, this time in the form of DUP Strangford assembly member Iris Robinson.
Robinson, a born-again christian (apparently she didn’t quite get it right the first time) is quoted as saying that homosexuality was an abomination when [...]

Thanks to a letter sent to the National Secular Society, I’ve been made aware of BBC (i.e. taxpayer) provided webcams at the creationist Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm near Bristol.
Obviously, the BBC has moved on from the need to report on reality, and can now comfortably spend the licence fee on supporting the unverifed (and unverifiable) [...]

I don’t live in the USA, so I’ve never actually seen Fox News properly. However, I have seen enough clips on YouTube and via the likes of Bill Maher and The Daily Show to realise how they treat reality. 1 Sky News, as hilarious as it is, isn’t a patch on Fox.
However, though [...]

Christian Voice’s civil blasphemy case appeal against the BBC over it’s screening of Jerry Springer:The Opera has, thankfully, been once again dismissed by the UK courts.
It’s not all good news though. The BBC reports:
However, the two senior judges at the High Court said the 1968 Theatres Act prevented any prosecution for blasphemy in relation [...]

The British “guerilla” graffiti artist that goes under the nom de guerre Banksy has recently been to the Middle East to offer the locals his particular brand of controversial graffiti.
This example is to be found in Bethlehem in the Palestinian West Bank:

The latest edition — and, coincidentally, the first of the new-look Humanist Society of Scotland magazine, Humanitie — has an excellent essay on sexual morality written by student Eimear O’Casey, who jointly won a student essay competition run by the society with this essay.
Unfortunately I can’t find the essay online, but if you’re already a [...]

BBC News 24 has just reported that Gillian Gibbons, the teacher at the centre of the Sudanese Mohammed Teddy stupidity, has been found guilty of “insulting religion”, and sentenced to 15 days in prison and is then to be deported, hopefully, for her sake, to a country not run by those who cling to their [...]

As reported by Reuters in this Yahoo! News article, the hearing for the privately brought blasphemy case against the BBC for its screening of Jerry Springer: The Opera has wound-up, with a ruling expected at a later date.
The Yahoo! article writes about the arguments used to bring the case:
[Jon] Thoday is the producer of musical [...]

Apparently it does, according to this magazine article over on the BBC.
Let’s see if this is true:

I’d like to see some muslim opinion on whether this doctored image could be considered amusing.

Gareth Langmead, 40, was sent home from his job as a car parks supervisor after a complaint from a Muslim colleague.

On today’s BBC Radio 4 Sunday programme, christian “think tank” Theos complained about the NHS’s lessening support for chaplaincy in healthcare, although specifically from a religious angle.
Aside from the show’s usual confused conflation of “religion” and “ethics”, the question on the table was should public money should be used to fund NHS chaplaincy? It’s [...]

I wasn’t able to blog about this when it first came out, but Tuesday’s The Telegraph has an article about naturalist and broadcaster Richard Attenborough’s complaint to the BBC over a Dutch evangelical christian fundamentalist broadcaster’s “editing” (read ripping to shreds) of a series television programmes, The Life of Mammals, that he has presented for [...]
