The BBC is courting controversy with its plans to broadcast a documentary series about Muslim prophet Muhammad.
Three-part series The Life of Muhammad has already been blasted by officials in Iran, who claim the country will take 'serious action' if it is screened.
The Iranian minister of cultural and Islamic guidance, Mohammad Hosseini, who has yet to watch any of the series, has branded the film an attempt by the 'enemy' to 'ruin Muslims' sanctity'.
'The BBC's decision to make a documentary on the life of [the] prophet Muhammad seems dubious and if our suspicions are proved to be correct, we will certainly take serious action,' he told Iran's Fars news agency.
The documentary, to be broadcast in mid-July, just ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in August, will see journalist and TV presenter Rageh Omaar travel to the place of Muhammad's birth, Mecca, to re-trace the footsteps of the prophet.
However, the series will feature no visual images of Muhammad in a bid not to offend Muslims, whose religion forbids depiction of the prophet.
Instead, a spoken description of Muhammad will be given, making this the first biographical documentary not to feature visual images of the subject.
All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

Pastorius,
I'm interested.
I’m interested too Pastorous, since Robert Spencer will be there. They may have wanted to advertise Islam as a good alternative seeing that it was commissioned by the BBC's first Muslim head of Religion & Ethics. How could they make the mistake of inviting Robert Spencer, he will barbeque them.

Next you will see him get disinvited, it happens all the time.
Ronmorgen,
You do realize there is a chance that they could end up editing it to make him look stupid.
A chance! At first I didn't realize it was a documentary. I thought he was speaking. Of course they will dillute all his main points. I wouldn't watch it, it's a trap.
Ronmorgen,
Maybe, maybe not. We don't know how he will be treated. In some cases, documentaries on notoriously politically correct channels have actually been at least somewhat fair with controversial, politically incorrect topics and points of view.
Do watch the video. He really lays it on the British Muslims and liberals. If it wasn't for the police they might have killed him; they were very mad at what he was saying. There is no way the BBC will let themselves become a vehicle for that message.
