- DirectorAndrew SmithStarsBobby PathakRosie RowellIrfan Al AlawiInvestigative journalist, Bobby Pathak, has investigated a number of mosques run by high profile national organisations that claim to be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths. But reporting undercover he joined worshippers to find a message of religious bigotry and extremism being preached. The investigation reveals Saudi Arabian universities are recruiting young Western Muslims to train them in their extreme theology, then sending them back to the West to spread the word. Saudi-trained preachers are also promoted in DVDs and books on sale at religious centres and sermons broadcast on websites. These publications and webcasts disseminate beliefs about women such as: "Allah has created the woman deficient, her intellect is incomplete", and girls: "By the age of 10 if she doesn't wear hijab, we hit her," and there's an extreme hostility towards homosexuals. And the Dispatches reporter discovers that British Muslims can ask for fatwas, religious rulings, direct from the top religious leader in Saudi Arabia, the Grand Mufti.
