HORRIBLE HISTORIES....

Anyone out there caught the BBC's "Horrible Histories"? A B-BBC reader spotted this...

"I had to gulp at the opening introduction. There was a reference to the Westerners deciding to go to war with the Muslims because 'they happened to live there' laced with sarcasm. The rest of the narrative was blantantly anti-west. Who wrote this script, I wonder?

Am I being paranoid or have they completely missed the Muslim conquest of Syria in the 7th century, attacks of Muslim Seljuk Turks, murder of pilgrims and the consequent aggressive expansionism that led to the Byzantine Empire issuing a desperate call for help to the Pope?

It's like describing the reason for D-Day as a war on Germany because Germans 'happened to live' in France.

I am shocked and above all disturbed by the inversion of teaching to the young about such an important time in history."

Historical revision, with lashings of dhimmitude, is par for the BBC course, sadly.
