Ed Miliband is Jewish

The fact that ed Miliband is Jewish by birth if not be practice seems to be reported very quietly if at all by the BBC. Why? If a Muslim had been elected leader of one of the main British political parties then I would expect the BBC to be in raptures, but a Jew not so much. Is this the BBC's doing or Ed Milibands? Maybe they don't want to risk upsetting their core vote amongst the ever expanding Muslim 'community' in the UK.
