This was big news in the UK, Kilroy -Silk is a tv chat show presenter and made comments in his paper that was in my opinion very racist, what are your views?

Muslim leaders have accused Robert Kilroy-Silk of "anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views" after a newspaper piece entitled "We Owe the Arabs Nothing".

The Muslim Council of Britain denounced the BBC discussion show presenter's piece as a "gratuitous anti-Arab rant".

In the Sunday Express piece, the former Labour MP referred to Arabs as "suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors".

The Commission for Racial Equality has also reported the matter to the police.

The MCB secretary general Iqbal Sacranie said in a letter to BBC One controller Lorraine Heggessey that Mr Kilroy-Silk had failed to distinguish between the terrorists behind the 11 September attacks and 200 million "ordinary Arab peoples".

Mr Sacranie questioned whether if the word Jew or black was substituted for Arab in the piece, the presenter would not still be occupying a high-profile spot on television.

A BBC spokeswoman said the corporation was carefully examining Mr Sacranie's letter before deciding whether any action should be taken.

The presenter was unable to give a comment due to his mother's funeral.

His article included comments saying the toppling of despotic regimes in the Middle East should be a war aim, and questioned the contribution of the Arab nations to world welfare and civilisation.

He referred to how Arabs "murdered more than 3,000 civilians on 11 September" and then "danced in the streets" to celebrate.

wow, what a sad person.

1. about the whole thing where people were dancing in the streets, that wasn't even from 9/11!! It was from when Iraq won it's independence!!!! They just used that tape to make the Iraqi's look bad.

2. He shouldn't even be talking when he doesn't even know the real story. He's probably just blindly following what he media says about us Muslims. Sadly, alot of people believe what the media has said about us.

i dont think all muslims were happy about it... maybe just some... *slowly walks out of room*

1. alot of arabs were happy after sep 11 just like alot are happy after terror attacks in Israel, and i saw it in my own eyes, not everyone of course, i will never dare generalizing but there are who do indeed celebrate and not just some...when it reaches the hundreds barrier its already crossed 5 red lines....

2. Hes not a sad person, he has his own views, each one has his-\her own views, what happened to freedom of speech? being fired and police involved for this? I think people are exaggerating, if he is indeed a sad person why giving him all that attention in the first place?

1. Ofcourse some are gonna be happy after what the US has done to them in the past, i dont blame them at all.

2. Yeah, but basing your views on false beliefs and what the media throws at you is just stupid.

He said he wasnt talking about all arabs, he was talking about the Arab Regime.
