I have just watched 'Unreported War' where people were interviewed in the Philippines. The people were ordinary simple people whose lives would be threatened if they were identified. Even if they agreed to sit to the side of the cameras they could not know the risks that they were taking. So why did they show any part of their bodies and their clothing plus places where they live etc. With such a massive price to pay your people have put them at unnecessary risk for absolutely no gain in the stories value.
If any of these people are tortured or murdered as a result of these interviews, or worse still someone who looks like them, you should hang your heads in shame.
Do you ever check up how many people are killed etc. after you have interviewed them.
Please do not play with peoples lives like this because there is no need.

How can you show a programkme on the devastation that the soya crop in South america is producing without saying that it is our fault? It is the result of the EU and US agriculture policy. Higher value and less damaging crops are grown in EU/US with subsidies (and high prices resulting from import protection) and that leaves only animal fodder etc to be grown in developing countries. In my view the French led CAP is causing hoorors akin to slavery in the third world.

The muslims in all over the world should feel shame for the treatment of these helpless people. All these muslims will surely be going to rot in the hell. Where is the Justice of Western nation, I wonder why they don't care about christians suffering in these Islamic countries. I think Westeren nation is selfish, they only care about their own intrest everywhere. Where they see their own security at risk they imediately jump in to sort it out. But they have not interest to helping these poor people who are held as slaves and forced to do only the dirty jobs for muslims. I want to ask where is the church leaders in of Europe and America. Why they don't see these and go to help them. Only prayers are not enough. These chrisians who are suffering for so many decades need financial help. Please all the Bishops and Congrigations in United Kingdom, Europe and America step forward and help them financialy to end their sufferings. Their only crime is they do not threat with sucide bombings. They are peacful. They deserve help. Please help these people directly. Why muslims living in Europ and America don't think how they are treated, and how they treat their minorities. Shame on you.

Thank you for this very disturbing report. It was most courageous of you to bring this out into the public domain. I had, in fact, heard about it but felt that no-one would ever have the nerve or the opportunity to report it and that the plight of these people would never be known. It makes me fearful of the dangerous underlying currents in Islam which slowly seem to be gaining such a strong foothold in our own nation. Fortunately not all Muslims are of this mind - in fact many seem to have come to this country to avoid this kind of extremism as well as to escape such things as Shiria law. I wonder if Dr.Rowan Williams watched this programme and if so what his thoughts were?
