Some days back Channel 4 presenter Cathy Newman tweeted how she was ‘ushered out of a mosque’ during an apparent 'Visit My Mosque Day' event.

The story was covered on many mainstream media platforms and the mosque and Muslim were at the centre of another storm.

The storyline fitted the narrative that Muslims were a troublesome bunch and even when they are trying to reach out to the wider community they need to be held with a level of suspicion.

From from being fair and balanced there it seems many media organisations are keen to portray a specific narrative about Muslims and Islam.

And all it requires these days a simple Twitter comment.

It now transpires that this particular incident was a more of a misunderstanding than anything else. Channel 4 presenter Cathy Newman has apologised for any misunderstanding.

CCTV footage obtained by The Huffington Post UK appeared to contradict her claim that she was "ushered out of the door". The video shows the reporter arriving at the mosque, being directed by a male worshipper, but leaving alone through the courtyard.

It also emerged the reporter had actually gone to the wrong location, and her colleagues were waiting for her 15 minutes away at a mosque that was taking part in the open day.

The Huffington Post reports, the man the journalist spoke to inside, who has been identified by the mosque, claims he misunderstood Newman and directed her to the church next door.

The man was not a member of the mosque's management or religious leadership, and none of the Islamic centre's committee claim to have seen Newman arrive or leave.

Since the incident the mosque has received vile threats.

Aslam Ijaz, the South London Islamic Centre's chair of trustees told HuffPost UK, “"We can see [from the CCTV] that she arrived and that she came into the lobby by the shoe racks and started to take off one shoes "The prayers had already started and you can see a couple people rushing past her but most people are already inside. The gentleman who you see in the video is obviously pointing in the direction of the church, which is what he thought she wanted to go to."

"Maybe she misunderstood, but he is clearly trying to direct her,"

"You can see she turns to leave herself, she looks a little confused and then she comes back into the courtyard again, and you can see her twice coming back to outside the mosque and standing on the pavement."

"I was really surprised that she would say she was ushered out of the mosque, being a journalist I was surprised she would use that description, it was misrepresented. Now there's this impression we don't like women. She said something that was not correct,"

Cathy Newman told HuffPost UK, “As the primary purpose of Visit My Mosque day was to increase understanding of Islam, I was horrified to hear the Mosque I visited in error has had death threats.

"I’m sorry for any misunderstanding there has been. I would be happy to pay a private visit to South London Islamic Centre once again.”

Ms Newman later attended the Hyderi Centre where she posed with other visitors and completed her story.
