Replies: 20614 01 Nov 16 23:32 This is how the religion of peace think,threaten with death anyone who speaks out against you. It works,they have eliminated any opposition. Very true, a bit late, but ordinary people are awakening from their slumber at last. The liberal elite have possibly had their day. |

I never comment on these types of threads as opinions on both sides seem to be polarised to an extreme extent.
But this news is quite frankly ridiculous and I see it as the thin end of a very long wedge towards eroding our freedoms altogether. Why those in authority choose to pander to a very noisy minority is beyond me and will only serve to encourage that minority to increase the pressure in any other similar situations. I worry about where all this is going to end and the country that our children and children's children will inherit. |

Well said, Desmond. Those in authority are all afraid, I can see no other reason. Best serve your term without someone putting a fatwah on you and gtfo with a good pension.

Yes, the Newsnight piece was an embarrassment.
Why have 2 guests on who are in complete agreement that Islam should not be mocked leaving it to nodding dog Evan Davis to provide the counter-argument? |

Was good to see Nicky Campbell, who is usually very very PC, giving a Muslim a hard time in a discussion on the subject on 5 Live this morning. Mentions of Dave Allen and the Meaning Of Life in said discussion. No mention of the death threats though which should be a big part of the story.

That is reassuring Clyde.
He's normally so obvious in his 'stance' on subjects like this. It's an incredible story. When I think of the mocking that Christianity has taken over the years... 'He's not the mesiah, he's a very silly boy!' |

One MP at Prime Minister's Questions today did raise the issue and said something along the lines of what the hell is happening to our country when Louis Smith is getting death threats and having to apologise for having a laugh. There was an uneasy silence with all the other MPs deciding not to cheer and hear hear him just in case they end up on 'the list'.

Poor Louis, the very poster-boy for Diversity/Modern Britain, one of the Sacred Olympic Heroes and loved by the BBC for winning the Strictly Come Dancing World Championship of 2012. Sadly found to be completely out of his league up against a Peaceful Religion. A routine 3-0 win for the latter, with Smith seemingly lucky to get nil.
No contest, and no-one in the House of Commons or the British Liberal Media will speak for him. No news either of any police officers tracking down let alone arresting any 'death threat' perpetrators. There aren't even any candle-lighting, hand-holding, virtue-signalling sorts out there proclaiming 'Je Suis Louis Smith'. |

Tory MP Charles Walker did raise concern alun.
Tmay replied regarding striking balance between freedom of speech and tolerance of other religions. The fact that they are protecting an intolerant ideology surely can not be lost on them. |
