Medieval BBC Broadcasts

[Aliyyi Oromada]

I was looking through some archives and managed to find these transcripts of old BBC broadcasts.

“ Hello there, I am Sir John Smith here at the BBC Jerusalem, and here are your headlines this hour.
The radical Islamist leader, Saladin, has vowed to continue his violent campaign against the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem. Here to comment on this is the author of “The Saladin I Know”, Pierre Henry of Tyre. Nice of you to join us sir. Tell us what you think of this statement.

Pierre: “Well you see, Saladin in fact represents a very narrow radical view within Islam, and what he is saying may rally his followers, but I am afraid it is not as significant as he would like us to believe. Most Muslims oppose his radical ideology and would like to live peacefully in the Christian Kingdom. His siege of Mosul, Aleppo two peaceful Muslim cities and his campaigns in greater Syria were very unpopular in the Muslim world and brought a lot of suffering against people who he claims to be fighting for.”

Sir John: “Is it safe to say he is not very popular in the Muslim world?”

Pierre: “Certainly not, his brutality towards Muslims. His spread of instability and violence is very much unpopular in the middle east. You have to remember also that this Ayyubid group are not Egyptian. They are not Syrian. Infact they are not even Arab. So they are viewed very much as foreigners in the eyes of the Arab masses. For this reason they cannot last very long. The only thing that keeps them going is the funding they receive from exporting a narcotic called hasheesh to China, according to many sources. They use this funding to lure in recruits from the madrasas in impoverished villages across Egypt and Syria. They promise young men money, they promise them women. Sometimes they drug their recruits to control them. People who try to leave are executed. Many former recruits have shared their story. I wrote about it in my book.”

Sir John: “Very troubling, indeed. Thank you for joining us, we will be back with your headlines in the next hour.
