Drop terror film, Muslims tell C4

Islamic leaders last night called on Channel 4 to cancel a film about a British girl who is driven to become the UK's first female suicide bomber.
Britz, to be broadcast on Wednesday, tells the fictional story of a British-born Muslim who becomes part of a terror cell that sets out to slaughter hundreds of people.
Several of the characters are portrayed as associates of the real perpetrators of the July 2005 London bombings, in which 52 people died.
The film has also attracted criticism for labelling the police racist bullies after would-be suicide bomber Nasima, played by Manjinder Virk, is force-fed a ham sandwich by an officer.
Last night, Kurshid Ahmed, chairman of the British Muslim Forum, said: "A film which attempts to glamorise or rationalise the actions of suicide bombers has no place on our TV screens.
"Channel 4 should be working with us to defeat terrorism and extremism, not sowing hate and division in our communities."
Channel 4 says Britz is an attempt to understand what could lead a second-generation Muslim to turn against the country of their birth.
It blames Labour's "draconian" antiterror laws and foreign policy for alienating the Muslim community.
Director Peter Kosminsky denied radicalised Muslims would feel vindicated by the film.
"I hope that nobody who sees it would think there is anything triumphant or joyful about Nasima's journey.
"The point of the piece was to make non-Muslims know what it feels like to be Muslims in Britain today."
