Ofcom, the communications watchdog, found the stations broke the broadcasting code by allowing the extreme opinions to be aired unchallenged.
Tala Rajab, who wrote the report for Quilliam, an anti-extremist think-tank, told the Sunday Telegraph the ‘shocking’ incidents raised serious questions over broadcast regulation.
He said: ‘If this had happened in a mosque the police would be right in pursuing a criminal investigation.
‘But because they are being broadcast on television channels for some reason there seems to be little appetite for looking into these extreme messages.
‘If these kind of comments were made against black people, for example, you can imagine a channel being shut down overnight, particularly if they had incited violence against a minority.’

• Muhammad authorised the murder of a number of poets (male & female) who had mocked him. One poet was a mother sleeping with her young children. The Muslim assassin had to move the child aside before thrusting his dagger into her chest. Another victim was a male poet who was, according to Muslim sources, over 100 years old. Mohammed then absolved the Islamic murderers of any wrong doing.
• He was also an accomplished caravan raider who had the propensity to execute prisoners who had been political opponents in the past. One such man had fallen foul of Muhammad when Muhammad was in his early days due to being a better story teller than Muhammad,. "Who will look after my young daughter?" cried the man, moments before he was executed. Muhammad then cursed him.

Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."

There are no conclusive evidence of homosexuals being such by nature or nurture. They just are, and are only our fellow human beings, endowed with the gift of life, equally precious amongst us hetrosexuals all, and means something special to another.
"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.."
Sunan Abu Dawud (Book #38, Hadith #4447)
Homosexual activity is illegal under sharia, though the prescribed penalties differ from one school of jurisprudence to another.
For example, these Muslim-majority countries may impose the death penalty for acts perceived as sodomy and homosexual activities: Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia. In contrast, in some Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia (outside of Aceh province), Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, same-sex sexual acts are illegal but there is no specific penalty.
In Turkey, homosexual acts in private between consenting individuals are legal.

In anycase, it is up to every individual member who search for realities to find it out for themselves, on what really happened during the prophet's lifetime, and there are many other sources than Ishaq.

And worse that you qoute from the hadith, a collection of essays written by others with different agendas long after the passing of the prophet Muhammad.

Just to keep it straight - He kept no journal during his time, nor did he had scribes following him around daily.

Muhammad made it clear in the Hadith that the punishment for leaving Islam is death.
Hadith Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17

more BS
a devout muslim?
you know him personally? does your mother know his mother?
the guy was an Abbasid sympathizer and puppet
The Abbasids are muslims by name much like the Saudi Arabians
The Abbasids held the Quran in one hand and the sword in the other hand, then they begun imprisoning and poisoning the grandchildren of the prophet Mohammed
how could they write anything good about a man they despised? they hated mohammed and his family, they were only after empire, and to control empire they had to control the people through religion
Ummayeds, Ottomans, Abbasids are all false representation of Islam

you know what bukhari said at the end of his hadith collection book?
he is not responsible nor can he prove that any of the hadiths quoted on behalf of Mohammed are true, for all he knows they could be fabrications. He only collected them to make it easier to researchers and in your case, Islam bashers to find footholds against Islam.

Have you told the Sunni Muslims this?
They appear to be under the impression that the Hadith I quoted are from the 6 most reliable books of Hadith in Islam.
