Yes, I bet they did, for the programme made by John Ware, showed that the so-called moderate voice of Islam as repesented by the Muslim Council of Britain, is affilliated to some real dodge-pot radical organisations and that their top man, Sir Iqbal Sacranie, was a noisy main player during the Salman Rushdie affair and not the moderate he'd have you believe. When questioned by Ware over his presence at a service for the wheelchair bound Hammas spiritual leader whom the Israelis blew up, he refused to answer questions regarding the fact that since this man had organised many suicide attacks why, as a moderate, he'd attended. He also side-stepped questions regarding the fact that the MCB was the only main-faith organisation who had refused to attend the Holocaust Day memorial service because they wanted it to be more 'inclusive'. They wanted mention of 'other peoples suffering' and asked that Palestine, Chechnya and Kashmir be included too. When the request became public, they then included Rwanda. Sacranie came across as a snakey, deceitful, untrustworthy man whom, as one of the whistleblowers stated, has an Islam for the Kafirs and a different,more dangerous Islam for the believers.
