A group of leading Shia Muslim scholars are threatening to report Channel to Ofcom, the industry regulator, unless the broadcaster apologises to viewers and commissions a second programme on their faith.

Here’s an interesting trailer for a documentary about Muslim children in Texas learning to memorize the Qur’an. And here’s another trailer for a proposed documentary series, the first episode of which also focuses on Muslim life in Texas.
This is a really important programme to watch. It can be watched it on Channel 4’s website if one has missed it. [Link]
