Update.
Smith has advised reporters that he is receiving death threats 'every day' and 'a lot of hatred' from the Peace-Loving Community, since his 'video' emerged into the public domain. Naturally every such threat must now be fully investigated by Police and the issuers of such threats must feel the full weight of British law. Why hasn't any Community Leader or so-called 'moderate' Peace-Lover (let alone Politician and/or Police Officer) come forward yet to remind us that Smith has a perfect right in a liberal democracy to 'mock' whomsoever he chooses, and/or any religions he chooses? . http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gymnastics/37644035 |

Read somewhere that after apolgising Muslims say to him its ok we are taught to forgive (obv not the ones sending death threats).What sad day when you have to be taught forgiveness.

Update :
Just when you think this country can't get any more insane than allowing foreign criminals over the age of 30 into this country, on the pretence that they were vulnerable young children, think again. Earlier this week, while our Olympic/Paralympic heroes were attending long-overdue celebrations in Manchester and London, our multiple Olympic medal winning gymnast Louis Smith was visiting various mosques, inexplicably apologising to anyone there who would listen for appearing in a video that is said to have 'mocked' a well-known Peaceful Religion. Hasn't anyone told him (or Mosque attendees) yet that we live in Great Britain, a liberal democracy of hundreds of years standing, where our citizens are free to mock who and what we please. Including religions. At the mosques he naturally should have been informed of this, asked to stop wasting his/their time, congratulated for his sporting achievement and encouraged to go and enjoy the well-deserved celebrations. Bizarrely, no-one amongst the British News Media has also pointed this out. . http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gymnastics/37697585 |

The media makes me want to puke. I'm sick of the craven attitude they adopt. All someone has to say is they are offended and all bets are off and the story is how can we atone for this terrible wrong you have suffered.

One moral rule for Christianity, a more strict moral rule for Islam. Say no more. |

Banned for two months. Would he have been punished for imitating a Catholic or a Jew?
|
|
By:
How weak & pathetic this country has become in the face of this so-called religion.
|
|
By:
He aplogises and 'learns about Islam' through fear, then gets banned. What a fcking joke
|
|
By:
It's because quite a few mussies are absolutely mad and will want to kill him (or anybody they perceive of insulting their religion, FFS).
They are mad and should be dealt with accordingly before we have any more atrocities. Dangerous dogs are dealt with accordingly, so should dangerous people. Before, not after. |

By:
Charlie Hebdo do similar and they are treated as heroes in France. Dead ones unfortunately

|
By:
Do we assume that all writers of tv progs and films that have ever poked fun at Christianity (Father Ted, All Gas & Gaiters, Meaning Of Life etc) will now be hauled over the coals and stoned for offending the rest of us? Not me by the way - I found them all quite funny and had a good old laugh but I'm possibly in the minority.

British Gymnastics clearly had to suspend him, admittedly on the catch-all misdemeanour of 'misconduct'.
The alternative was unthinkable… their management would doubtless have had to traipse around the same umpteen mosques, cap in hand, to try and explain to the Holy Men why they weren't banning him... Any public money that goes into help funding of British Gymnastics should be withdrawn immediately, until this laughable and disgraceful suspension is overturned and Smith is given a public apology. |

DAILY DEATH THREATS FROM MEN FROM THE RELIGION OF PEACE
I wonder who took the Video ? |
|
By:
'Newsnight' due to be covering this staggering story very shortly, after their US Election update.
Is this the moment when ANY British journalist steps forward to ask what on earth has been happening since Smith's 'video' came into the public domain? |
|
By:
This is how the religion of peace think,threaten with death anyone who speaks out against you.
It works,they have eliminated any opposition. On the BBC discussion tonight there was no dissenting voice,no one defended Smith. In modern day Britain people like Louis Smith are lionised but in a contest between a liberal dream Brit and Islam there was only one winner,that's he scary its got. It takes guts to oppose Islam as Tommy Robinson can attest. Its why your country should treasure Nigel Farage and Katie Hopkins. |
|
By:
That 'Newsnight' piece was an embarrassment to journalism, not that we've come to expect much from that silenced and cowed profession where questioning the Peace-Loving Community is concerned.
At no point was Smith's liberty to mock whomsoever and whatsoever he chooses upheld and re-stated. No-one dared ask why the young gymnast and poster-boy for Diversity Britain felt it necessary to go on some absurd Apology Tour. |
