"Undercover Mosque" Documentary

The Mosque came to national attention in Britain with the airing of the Channel 4 Dispatches documentary, "Undercover Mosque", in January 2007.

The documentary included secretly recorded footage showing Imams making highly controversial statements, the leading preacher, Abu Usamah discussed how the show was "misleading" following gross "cut and pasting" of speeches. Opinions included stating that homosexuals should be "thrown off mountains" and "Allah has created woman, even if she gets a PhD, deficient. Her intellect is incomplete." [ [http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/arts_entertainment/film_tv/dispatches+reported+to+ofcom/660762 Channel 4 - News - Dispatches reported to Ofcom ] ] The media regulator Ofcom dismissed a complaint by the West Midlands Police over the way that the show had been edited.
