(Telegraph-UK) The BBC suspended veteran talk show presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk over a newspaper article he wrote entitled "We Owe Arabs Nothing." In it, Kilroy-Silk referred to Arabs as "suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors," and added: "What do they think we feel about them?

Kilroy-Silk's program has run for 17 years and attracts 1.2 million viewers.
