Presenter sacked for 'supporting the Bible's teachings' on radio

Hmmm: this looks like a case to keep an eye on. Taking this report at face value it would seem an injustice has been done. Check out the full item here: Presenter sacked for 'supporting the Bible's teachings' on radio - Telegraph And here's the nub of the matter: "The Rev Masih and his co-presenter Afzal Umeed were discussing the views of a prominent Muslim speaker, Zakir Naik, who the Rev Masih accuses of belittling the Christian faith on Peace TV, a digital channel.
The Rev Masih says that Mr Umeed asked Asif Mall, a Christian on-air guest, about Mr Naik's remarks. Mr Mall said Mr Naik's comments showed a lack of knowledge of the Bible and of the Koran.
In particular, Mr Mall disputed a claim by Mr Naik that Jesus Christ was not the only prophet to be 'the way, the truth and the life'."
On the face of it, it looks like a clear case of discriminatory censorship and of not allowing fair comment. However, I've not heard the remarks of any of the parties involved.
