        @BBCNews @bbcthree But the security concerns are what led to the censorship. And who prompted security concerns? Bullies - who you caved to.

        @BBCNews @bbcthree Time to stop capitulating to the demands of Islamist-types. Give liberal, progressive Muslims your support and a voice.

        @BBCNews @bbcthree Surely that should have been stated at the time? Do any threats of violence against the bbc result in self censorship?

        @BBCNews @bbcthree Substitute a topic that would be controversial to Jews & Christians, and discussion would have gone ahead regardless!

        @BBCNews @bbcthree if you held a discussion in a synagogue you wouldn't expect the debate to focus on, say, the merits of the Holocaust.

        .@BBCNews @bbcthree So sad to see this topic elicit the possibility of a violent response. Proof that it needs to be discussed. #FreeSpeech

        @Ibzor @BBCNews @bbcthree it's the very fact that we're practically forced to discuss this kind of topic, which causes the anger.

        @NIDGE_LEE @BBCNews @bbcthree How is it being forced though? It's a regular topic on a regular show so why the anger?

        @Ibzor @BBCNews @bbcthree in the sense that it's the media which sets the agenda and it suits them to be controversial.

        @Ibzor the topic was chosen precisely because it's a subject about which there's strong disagreement. Blessed are the peacemakers.

        @NIDGE_LEE The counter-argument being only topics with disagreement actually create discussion and debate. Still think it needs to happen.

        @Ibzor it's an ongoing debate anyway which in my view doesn't make good TV. If it's not a rude ? what's your intrest in the topic specific'?

        @NIDGE_LEE Not being rude at all :) There is a high level of intolerance to LGBTQ+ rights which is justified by "difference of opinion"

        @BBCNews @bbcthree I'm White & Christian and it angers me too that the media is obsessed with promoting homosexuality one way or another.
