Movie lovers tonight hit out at protesters who called for a film about Islam and the daughter of the prophet Muhammed to be banned because they feel it is blasphemous.
Cinema goers said everyone should be able to see the £12million movie, which was released in the UK last weekend, because shutting it down prevents discussion and instead fuels intolerance.
Hundreds of demonstrators turned out in Bradford, Bolton, Birmingham and Sheffield to protest venues showing The Lady of Heaven.
UK cinema chain cancels screenings of ‘blasphemous’ film after protests
A UK cinema chain has cancelled all screenings of a “blasphemous” film about the daughter of the prophet Muhammad after branches were picketed by Muslim activists.
Cineworld said it took the decision to cancel all showings of The Lady of Heaven to “ensure the safety of our staff and customers”.
The cancellation was criticised by a House of Lords peer as being “disastrous for the arts, dangerous for free speech”.
Political correctness and fear of accusations of racism at the local level is preventing Islamic extremism being reported, a British government advisor has admitted.
As has been the case with the scourges of grooming rape gangs and modern day slavery, Islamic extremism is being pushed under the rug by local councils in the UK out of concern of being branded as racist, the government’s independent adviser for social cohesion Dame Sara Khan has said.
Pets in the UK may have to be culled to prevent the spread of monkeypox, according to reports. Experts have already advised people with monkeypox symptoms to avoid animals – especially rodents.
There are fears that if monkeypox gets into the UK’s pet and wild animal populations it will become endemic – meaning animals could then easily spread it back to humans.
Left-wing publications are inflating the risk of far-Right extremism
Earlier this week, the Guardian ran a report on the government’s counter-terrorism programme, the Prevent strategy, titled “Anti-terrorism programme must keep focus on far right, say experts”. It was based on experts’ concern over the anticipated direction of the strategy review, which, according to leaked documents, reportedly recommends “a crackdown on Islamist extremism rather than the threat of the far right”.
Fears of discrimination, a failure to deal with unruly prisoners, and an unwillingness on the part of prison administrators to address religious demands have created an environment in Britain’s jails that have become “no go zones” for non-Muslims.
These stark findings come from a recently published report: Terrorism in Prisons from the independent reviewer of terrorist legislation Jonathan Hall QC.
The report states that Islamist inmates, over the course of fifteen years, have adopted an “anti-state Islamist stance” that condones violence towards non-Muslim inmates, prison staff, and the general public.
The British government has announced a new plan to fight illegal immigration by giving some migrants seeking asylum in the United Kingdom a one-way ticket to Rwanda to have their applications processed in the East African country.
The five-year pilot project, aimed at deterring migrants from crossing the English Channel, will initially focus on single males arriving illegally to the UK on boats or trucks.
The plan to outsource the processing of asylum applications overseas — if it survives legal challenges that are certain to come from human rights groups and the European Court of Human Rights — could become a model for other European countries seeking to crack down on illegal immigration.
A Birmingham man contacted a police officer posing as a Muslim convert and sent her extreme material including videos glorifying the Islamic State group. Musa Muhammad claimed he wanted to marry the officer and go and fight in the Middle East.
A recent Russian state TV program has stirred outrage and made headlines across the United Kingdom after a television presenter featured a simulated demonstration of how the Russian navy’s nuclear submarines would take out the UK with ease.
The government does not record the number of people prosecuted for terror offences after returning to the UK from Syria, an official report says.
The data is held neither “officially or unofficially”, an annual review by the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall QC, says.
Figures previously provided to Parliament by ministers later had to be clarified.
Mr Hall’s report instead relies on BBC News research on the subject.
It is known that hundreds of people have returned to the UK after joining terrorist groups in Syria but the cumulative figure given in public is ambiguous.
Last year, the director general of MI5 said “over 950 UK-linked extremists” had travelled to Syria.
I do not trust the Trudeau government to be honest on this matter.
The prison service has failed to recognise the dangers Islamist gangs and convicted terrorists pose inside jail, a report warns.
The independent reviewer of terrorist legislation, Jonathan Hall QC, said prisons must not provide opportunities for militants to plan new attacks.
But the service had “lost its role in the national endeavour to reduce the risk of terrorism”.
The Ministry of Justice said it was committed to isolating radicalisers.
The UK on Tuesday threatened to ban Twitter altogether and potentially jail Elon Musk if he violates their incoming “Online Safety Bill” by allowing free speech on his platform.
The move came just hours after the EU threatened to ban Twitter entirely if Musk allows free speech on the platform and the US threatened to “reform” Section 230 to hold social media companies “accountable” for the “harms they cause.”
British Islamist imam, Ajmal Masroor, was quick to boast on April 8 that the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, had attended his Friday sermon at the Palmers Green Mosque in North London.
A preacher at several London mosques, Masroor, however, has a long history of apologism for terrorist groups and anti-Jewish sentiments.
Writing in 2012, Masroor praised the leader of the designated terrorist organization Hamas as a “true and honest leader” who is apparently “loved by his people naturally.”
Her evidence helped put abusers behind bars, yet ‘Amber’ was vilified by the authorities and says her torment will never end
Between 2008 and 2010, a child abuse ring that came to be known as part of the “grooming gang” phenomenon operated in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Girls aged between 13 and 15 were trafficked, prostituted, raped and assaulted by the gang.
One victim was forced to have sex with at least 20 men in one night; another was forced to drink vodka, and was vomiting over the side of the bed while being raped by “countless men”.
The perpetrators would pass the girls to their friends, often to settle a debt. The victims, many of whom were from difficult backgrounds and therefore particularly vulnerable, were plied with drugs, alcohol and fast food, and then taken to “chill houses” across the north of England to be abused. One 13-year-old victim became pregnant and had an abortion. Some of the men involved were arrested, tried and found guilty. But not all.
Canadians know nothing about Islam and would welcome even more Islamic migration if only we knew the truth!
Oh No Bojo!
