The BBC and Muhammad Morsi

Muhammad Morsi is the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for Egyptian President who recently said that he will "achieve the Islamic conquest of Egypt for the second time, and make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya," this being the Islamic tax required to be paid by non-Muslim 'dhimmis' in Islamic states.

This was reported in El Bashayer on May 27. Muhammad Morsi apparently made these comments while speaking with a journalist at the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party. He is alleged to have added "We will not allow Ahmed Shafiq [his opponent for President] or anyone else to impede our second Islamic conquest of Egypt."

Muhammad Morsi was asked what he thought about the large numbers of Christian Copts who were, not surprisingly, coming out to vote for his more secular opponent, Muhammad Morsi reportedly said that "They need to know that conquest is coming, and Egypt will be Islamic, and that they must pay jizya or emigrate."


I can't find these comments on the BBC news website. Are the BBC still pushing the lie that the Arab spring has brought forth democracy and that the Muslim Brotherhood are not at all Islamist but are multicultural democrats?
