PRESS RELEASE: MPACUK Condemns Channel 4’s Dispatches Documentary “Who Speaks For British Muslims?”
On 27th March, Channel 4 aired a dispatches documentary, “Who Speaks for British Muslims?”, that features Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND) and CAGE on whether they speak for British Muslims or not.
The documentary presenter, John Ware, has previously done documentaries on Muslim activism, such as “The Battle of British Islam” & “Faith, Hate and Charity”.
MPACUK spokesperson, Imran Shah, said:
MPACUK together with Muslim students are happy to present their voices in new research papers for the students essay writing service in UK under the name “Write My First Essay” which is together with all young men are happy to discuss all the ideas.
“Programmes such as this one, only show how some elements of the British Establishment fear Muslim voices that benefit British Muslims. Not only was the programme a messy and unprofessional hatchet job on MEND, but also had Islamophobic undertones, such as projecting the idea that the “Muslim bloc vote” is a thing to be feared. What is wrong with Muslims organising and exercising their democratic rights?
Additionally, John Ware only bothered to interview Muslim voices, such as Amina Lone and Fiyaz Mughal, who run organisations that are government funded, publicly endorsed by the government and desperately struggle to gain more support from British Muslims than MEND or CAGE. This shows the clear bias and agenda from a presenter that has repeatedly shown his contempt for Muslims and pro-Palestinians.”
