Nick Robinson has a good face for a radio presenter, but he can’t think on his feet and his voice has the clarity of a badly-tuned-in radio.<br /><br /> I thought he was so eager to steer the narrative towards the good-news story he was after that he made a complete mess of it. Mind, he’d never have made such a mistake if any other religion had been involved. I think he means well, but is clumsy.

There are also plans for regular broadcasts for other religious minorities, such as the Hindu and Jewish communities, the BBC said. ' ....
