• Chowdhury Mueen Udin – Apology

  During the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 5 live Breakfast programme on 25 August 2016, in an interview with Omer el-Hamdoon, Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, we suggested that Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin had called for the lynching of Salman Rushdie. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ has been asked by Mr Mueen-Uddin to make clear, and it accepts, that while like many Muslims he found the Satanic Verses highly offensive to Muslims and their faith, at no stage did he advocate for or campaign for Mr Rushdie to be lynched or in any way harmed. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ apologises to Mr Mueen-Uddin for the distress and damage this statement caused him.
