An "alternative Leveson inquiry" is being set up by an Islamic TV channel in order to investigate the way in which British media report on Muslim and Islamic affairs.
The Islam Channel is planning to appoint a judge with an independent panel of assessors - just like Leveson - to carry out the inquiry.
Its springboard was a public opinion poll which found that people believe the media are responsible for "whipping up a climate of fear of Islam in the UK."
[A COMMENT] The Islam Channel is an Islamist organisation. They have a clear agenda. That is why, for example, they are not engaging in scrutinising the hate-speech, bigotry and supremacist intolerance within Salafi / Wahaabi / Literalist Deobandi / Tableegi Jamaati / Jamaaet-e-Islami and Maududi Islamist Identity Politics in Britain today.
