BBC Writersroom Muslim Writer's Awards? Submissions do not need to be centred on topics of Islam or Muslim identity, however this is equally welcome. What on earth is that all about? Do they have specific awards for followers of all religions?
And in the interest of equality may I suggest the Atheist Writers Awards. Submissions do not need to be centred on topics of Atheism and Atheist identity, however this is equally welcome.
This does seem like a retrograde step on the part of the BBC.
How about the middle aged white southern writers awards?
I wonder if they'd ask you to 'prove' you're a Muslim?
I think there should be a Christian award!
Can't see it on the writer's room pages Ringo, unless you mean the Arvon. Got a link for it?
This mecca me so angry!

if it's on the appearance of one's cock then I approve
It's not a BBC opportunity, it's just featured on Writers Room much like other geographical, gender, or cultural based opportunities are.
Ah. So it's a link!

They seem to they've got that Jewish jokes series on at the moment.
The BBC Muslim writers website mentioned above is plain Islamoracist. It reads "Use your weapon".

Are they a persecuted minority ? The last time I visited the South coast I felt I was never more than ten minutes away from a lynching.
