On “Patrick Christys Tonight” on 8 April 2024, we broadcast a video which appeared to suggest that Mr Mohammed Hijab, an Islamic scholar, believed the Quran justified sexual intercourse with 5-year-olds.
The edited clip was obtained from social media and it gave a false impression. We now recognise that Mr Hijab went on to explain how other Islamic texts prohibit such conduct.
In accordance with our Editorial Charter, we would like to take this opportunity to correct the record.
