Senior British Muslim Censored by the BBC demands 7/7 enquiry

24-09-2008 21:49

Dr Mohammad Naseem - chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque
Okay, here is the full 45 minute version of this incredible interview. A welcome antidote to the current racist BBC blitz of fake terror trials.

After all the BBC refused to transmit the interview they had done with him for the Conspiracy Files documentary due to be transmitted this month then shelved. Now we know, from watching this, that censorship was all part of the racist and bloody war effort to keep Dr. Naseem and his 1500 moderate Muslim worshippers who do not believe the official 7/7 story out of the public and British political consciousness.
