A Muslim religious channel that allowed presenters to condone marital rape and call women who wear perfume in mosques ‘prostitutes’ has been censured by the TV watchdog.<\/p>\n

In one programme, the host told viewers that it was ‘not strange’ and ‘not such a big problem’ for a man to force his wife to have sex.<\/p>\n

A phone-in show in May 2008, in which a female caller asked if she had the right to hit a violent husband back, was deemed in breach of the code.<\/p>\n

The presenter at one point stated: ‘In Islam we have no right to hit the woman in a way that damages her eye or damages her tooth or damages her face or makes her ugly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently none of this bothers Lauren Booth<\/a>, Tony Blair’s sister-in-law and presenter on the Islam Channel: she recently converted to Islam. That she has a bit of a blind spot concerning the Islam Channel\u2019s view of women goes without saying, since she chose to convert while visiting Iran\u00a0 – one of the most violently misogynistic regimes in the world.<\/p>\n
