Dit jaar zou de 'alternatieve' kerstboodschap op het Britse Channel 4 worden voorgelezen door een gesluierde moslimdame, maar dat gaat uiteindelijk niet door:
Veiled Muslim woman pressurised to dump Channel 4's alternative to Queen's message
London, Dec 16: After receiving a number of letters, some abusive, accusing her of trying to upstage the Queen, a Muslim woman who was going to deliver a 6-minute telecast over Muslim women's right to wear the veil on Channel 4 alongside the Queen's own thoughts on Christmas Day, has decided to drop the project.
Khadija Ravat, the Muslim woman was slated to deliver Channel 4's alternative Christmas message wearing a full veil, reportedly backed out yesterday after criticism from inside and outside her community.
Channel 4's message, which has in the past been fronted by the likes of Sharon Osborne and Quentin Crisp, is meant to offer a controversial alternative to the Queen's traditional Christmas Day address on the BBC and ITV.
