Call that humiliation?

Terry Jones in The Guardian:

I share the outrage expressed in the British press over the treatment of our naval personnel accused by Iran of illegally entering their waters. It is a disgrace. We would never dream of treating captives like this - allowing them to smoke cigarettes, for example, even though it has been proven that smoking kills. And as for compelling poor servicewoman Faye Turney to wear a black headscarf, and then allowing the picture to be posted around the world - have the Iranians no concept of civilised behaviour? For God’s sake, what’s wrong with putting a bag over her head?

British Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt is also outraged albeit for slightly different reasons:

It was deplorable that the woman hostage should be shown smoking. This sends completely the wrong message to our young people.

These articles… are they the sort like what Islamica used to put out? Joke articles?

The first one makes a great point but does it in a cheeky, humorous way. The second one is a true quote, AFAICT.
