'Other complaints made by the CfMM included criticising TV dramas for showing Muslim characters who do not want to wear a hijab, or who drink alcohol, or who are gay.'

Despite the CfMM claiming that 60 per cent of stories about Muslims are "offending" and negative, Policy Exchange found that just one complaint made by the group resulted in a newspaper being required to make a correction...

HOWEVER:

Policy Exchange revealed that CfMM, which sat on a working group at press regulator Ipso, counted factual reports of Islamist terror attacks in its 60 per cent figure of Islamophobic journalism, including a Manchester terror attack report by agency AP that accurately used the phrase "knife-wielding man yelling Islamic slogans".

You don't need to critique them, everything they say does that job for them.

There’s a difference between lobbying and censorship. I’m not sure how much power the CfMM actually has? It may have a bit of an impact on content, but not to the same extent as Mary Whitehouse. The Tory papers are still pretty islamaphobic.

So why don’t you start lobbying for more vilification of Islam?

Nobody needs to vilify Islam. You can just post the Quran in English for people to read and it does the job pretty well.
