Such inaccurate portrayals that seek to downplay the Muslim persecution of Christians are standard for the BBC.
"[T]he French and the US, with their regional allies... persevere in error, commit strategic, grotesque mistakes ... instead of recognizing that their guaranteed support to jihadist groups has led us to this chaos and has destroyed Syria, making us regress 200 years." — Syrian Archbishop Jacques Behnan Hindo.
"The Saudi Arabian government has reportedly passed a law that imposes the death penalty on people caught smuggling Bibles into the majority-Muslim country. ... This means that anyone handing out any kind of religious literature that is not of Islamic faith can legally be executed" — Samuel Smith, The Christian Post.
All churches in Cairo must be demolished. — The Islamic State.

Islamic State terrorists prepare to murder 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya, February 2015.

Throughout February, members of the largest Christian minority in the Middle East, the Copts, were slaughtered.

The Islamic State released a video in mid-February depicting 21 poverty-stricken Coptic Christians being decapitated in Libya, where these men had gone to find work. While holding their victims' bodies down, Islamic State members shoved their fingers in the Christians' eyes, craned their heads back, and sliced away at their throats with knives — all in the name of Allah and Islam, even as the slaughtered called out to the "Lord Jesus Christ."

Over one month before the video appeared, the BBC had falsely reported that the majority of those now-slaughtered Copts were "released." (Such inaccurate portrayals that seek to downplay the Muslim persecution of Christians are standard for the BBC.)
